LONDON, Dec. 21.-Sir Francis Dc
Winton has made public long letter TO
him by Stanley, dated Osalala, Aug. 81.
In it Stanley objects very strongly to
the tone Of a batch of newspaper cut
tings he had received, which comment
ed with an utter lack of common sense
and total disregard of accuracy upon
his expedition. He dwells upon the in
decision of Emin, which cost him a
journey otherwise unnecessary of l 300
miles for BarttelOt.
He lustilies the payment Of $50 per
month TO TippOO lib as a means for
avoiding a war, and declares that If
both parties are honest in the mainte-
nance Of their agreements peace may
Continue fer an indefinite period. He re-
Dukes those persons in England who had
lost faith in his steadfastness of pur-
pose to such a degree as to give credit to
rumOrs that he was marching in the
direction Of KhartOum.
He dwelt at more length upon the case
of EarttclOt, and removes the impression
produced by previous telIers rejecting
upon the ajOT's conduct. He SAYS that
BaTttelOt only needed to extricate him
self from his dilemma qualities that will
not be gained save by long experience
in Africa, and so eulOgizes his courage
and high qualities. He knew the major
was a man of little fOrbearaace, and had
intended to keep him with himself but
necessity compelled the change that
caused him to leave him behind
BarttelOt was ignorant of the Ian
guaSe Of the people, and his interpreter
may have been false, and occasioned the
coOlness between the men and the major,
which was never overcome, and led to
his death.
Stanley recites in detail the instruc-
tons given to BarttelOt, and finally de-
MES with much emphasis the alleged
Congo atrocities of the Manyema, the
Cannibalism and the story of photo
graphing women during execution.
During the whole expedition he executed
only four men,
