NEW YORK, March GA private let
ter has been received from Bongalo, on
thesCongo River, under date of Novem-
Der 5 last, giving details of the doings
and plans of Henry M. Stanley.
The letter states that Stanley arrived
at Urenia on August II, with the car
riers furnished by Emin Pasha. The
next day the four white men who had
accompanied him also reached that
point. Stanley wrote a letter to Tppoo
lib, telling him, in effect, that
he came from Albert Nyanza
where he, joined Emin Pasha.
condition there-Emin Pasha and Casati
in good health, and all their people
well. They were well provided with
supplies, including wines, etc., and
more than 1000 head OF cattle, as we'll
as sheep, goats. and chickens in album
dance. His return voyage had been eff
fected In eighty-two days. His compa-
NY was in good health, and his losses
were limited to three negroes. He did
not say how long the journey to the lake
had taken.
Stanley entreated Tippoo lib to &C
company him back to Emin, saving that
he would wait for him at Urenia for ten
days and would start on the eleventh
day with the goods he left there, and
M. Bonny, the last of the five Europeans
left with him, Barthelot having been
killed at Urenia; Jamison having died
at Bongalo on August 20, and Ward and
Roote having returned to Europe. To
decide Tippoo lib to accompany him he
dwelt upon the great quantity of ivory

Pasha's possession. 81 do not really
think" the writer says, "that Emin
Pasha would have given Tippoo his
ivory, for Tippoo had nothing with
which to pay for it. It was probably
an artifice on SANKEY'S part, who
had one of two objects in view
for which he had need of Tippoo's aid,
and he thus tried to persuade him.
Tippoo lib must have understood this,
for he did not accompany Stanley, but
like practical man, and one who
wished to make something out of STAN
ley's journey. he caused the explorer to
be followed at a distance by one of his
devoted ieutenants, Haid-Ben-Mo-
homed, who will reconnoiter the route
and make raids for slaves in the new
country.
Stanley has broken the contract
AldOo Ny DdTtuo1Ot lOr the 4UU carriers
furnished by the Arabs, and has taken
only 100 of them with him. For the
rest the men of Emin Pasha must
suffice. On September /, Stanley start
ed on his journey to rejoin Em1n
Pasha. What will he do afterward Z?
He has not told his plans, except that
he will not return ty way of the Congo.
Maj. Barthelot would have come back
along the Monto.n-Zige. Will Stanley
take that route :?
"On September IA, Stanley's courier,
bound for Europe, arrived at Tall,
commended to the protection of the
president of the Congo state, but without
any kind of a message. Now this cour-
Ter lwho bears only one letter, addressed
to M. Brown) has been detained at
Tali by an unfortunate illness. The
president who is expecting steamer
from day to day, has not deemed it
proper to allow this correspondence to
be brought here by the boat which
brough. us Nj. Balit, Jr., secretary of
I1ppoo lib, and just now the Stanley is
here snd is going down to Kintami. So
Stanloy's correspondence cannot reach
us until the arrival of the next
