ASSOCIATED Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONDON, November 25.-Further par
ticulars from Henry NJ. Stanley hav'
been received. A letter to MacKinnon
dated at Kaffurro, August 9th last, il
herewith given:
On December 16, 1888, messenger
from Kavalli came with letters from
Emin Pasha and his Lieutenant, Jeph
son. Jephson's letter was dated Dufile
November, 1888. It said: "On Angus,
18th rebellion broke out here, and
Emin Pasha and were made prisoners
The Pasha is complete prisoner, but
am allowed to 60 about the station, bu,
my movements are watched. The rebel.
lion was gotten up by half dozen
Egyptian officers and clerks, and grad
ually others joined, mostly through fear.
The soldiers, with the exception Of
those at Lahore, had never taken
part IN it but quietly gave
In to their officers. The officers went
ABOUT telling the people you were only
adventurers and had not come from
UIOuEDt
from the Khedive were forgeries that it
was untrue Khartouu, had fallen, and
that Emin Pasha and You had made a
plot to take them, their wives and chill
dren out of the country and hand them
over as slaves to the English. Such
words in an ignorant, fanatical country
like this, acted like fire among the peo-
pie, and the result was general re-
bellion and we were made prisoners.
Plans were also made to entrap you when
you returned, and strip you of all you
have"
THE REBELS BROUGHT TO TINE.
The letter then goes on to say that
while this condition of affairs existed
the Mahdi's forces arrived in the reigh-
borhood and demanded an immediate
surrender. The revolving officers re-.
fused, with the result that Emin's enc.
mics, the Mahdists and rebels, fell upon
each other. The Mahdists captured
Regal, taking many prisoners, including
women and children and stores of am.
munition. The rebels attempted to re-
take Regal later on, but were again re.
pulsed. The soldiers then became 90 |
panic stricken that they declared they
would fight no moro unless Emin was
set at liberty, which was done, and he |
was sent to Wadelai.
A postscript dated December 18th
said "The Mahdists attacked Dufile
station for four days, but were driven
back to Regal. They have sent to Khar-
toum for reinforcements."
STANLEY URGES HASTE,
To this letter Stanley replied, urging
the necessity for haste on the part of
Emin and Jephson to come to meet him
(Stanley), as he was exhausted by long
travel and privations. He assured
Jephson that he was well located in a
friendly region and could have two
thousand warriors within four hours, but
Emin, if he was to be saved, must help
to save himself. He urged that inde.
cision must be put aside, and relying on
Stanley's assistance Emin must come
toward him at once.
ENNIS INDIGESTION.
The letters received from Emin at the |
same time were simply confirmatory to |
Jephson's letter, but showed that Emin |
was haltipg between the opinion whether |
to stay where he was or to accept Stan
ley's offer OF relief.
"He must Decide" Stanley said,
"within few days." as he (Stsnley)
would be compelled to start on his re-
turn journey. Emin continued to delay, |
but finally, February 18th, native
courier appeared with letter from
Emin to the effect that he was at anchor
with two steamers just below Stsnley's
plateau camp of Kavolli. Emin's letter
from Wsdelai and would send the boat
back for others, while he himself rushed
forward to Stanley'e camp.
LATER WORD FROM STANLEY.
LONDON, November 25.-Mackinnon,
President OF the Emin Relief Commits.
sion, has received another letter from
Stanley, dated August 18th. Stanley
says Emin, with Selim Bey. seven
officers and sixty-6ve people, arrived at
his camp February 17th. Lieutenant
Stairs arrived on the 18th with his
column from Ituri. At meeting on the
18th, Selin;, who had retaken Dufle
from the Mahdists, killing 25O of them,
stated, on behalf Of the deputation, that
they had come to request time to allow
the equatorial troops and their families
to assemble at Kavalli. Stanley con-
tinues: 81 explained, through Emin
Pasha, the object of my expedition, and
OucI0u buon pTOmlso, WIlCt6u III
Arabic, to wait q reasonable time for
them to join me. The deputation re.
piled that my offer was satisfactory.
They said they would proceed directly
to Wadelai and proclaim it, and com-
mence the work Of transportation. The
deputation started for Wadelai on the
26th. Emin returned on the 9th with
his little daughter and caravan OF la
men. He and agreed that twenty Gays
WAS reasonable time. A month after
Sslim's departure letter arrived from
him, announcing that the rebels, officers
and everybody were unanimous in favor
of departing for Egypt under my escort. ,"
Stanley now finding great delay likely
in assembling the refugees, called a
council of his officers. 1t was decided to
march on April 10Th. On April 5th
Emin was informed that but few OF his
servants would 60. Here was disap.
pointment." exclaims Stanley. "Out
of 1000 only few were willing to ac-,
company me. 1t was clear that the
Pasha no longer had authority"
coNsprRACIEs IN CAMP.
'At this time" continues Stanley, "I
discovered conspiracies in camp. The
Egyptians tried to steal the rifles OF the
Zanzibsris, and the number of malcon-.
