telegraphs that Henry NJ. Stanley arrived
ct Mpwapwa on November 10th. His duo
patch is dated Zanzibar, November Goth.
Besides Stanley, all the European mem.
bers OF the expedition and Sehinge and
Hoffman, and other missionaries have az
rived at Mpwspwa. All are well. Captain

The German Rsic1sdnseiger Impsria!
Gazette has dispatch from Capt. Wias-
mann dated Mpwapwa, October 18Th. The
dispatch says "Four OF Stanley's men
and one of Emin's soldiers have arrived
hero. They left Stanley at Neuknms on
August 10th, ard came by way of Noembo
and Mwerieweri north to Mgoeo III SO
days including nine days OF which they
rested. Emin and CasaH had 800
Soudsnese soldiers and many other fol.
lowers with them. They bad in their pcs.
session large quantity Of ivory. Stanley
had force of 240 Zanzibars, and was
accompanied by his six lieutensnts-
Nelson, Jephson, Stairs, Psrke, Bonny
and William. The expedition struck
camp as soon as the messengers started.
Therefore the party should reach
Mpwspwa by November goth. Emin and
Stanley repeatedly fought and repulsed
the Mahdists, capturing the Mahdi's
grand banner. A majority of Emin's
soldiers refused to follow him southwark,
asserting that their way home did not lie
in thet direction. Emin left two Egyptian
officers in charge OF stations. The mes
Eengers have no knowledge of the
Senoussi or of events in Kbartcum and
Abyssinls.n
Captain Wissnann adds that the Eng
| lish missionaries at Kisouke and Mamboia
needed protection until the fate of
| Bushiri was decidsd. Although on good
terms with the natives, the missionaries
were left unprotected and had to be
called inside the German station. Re-
garding neighbo.ing tribes, Captain
Wissmann did not believe that the Nasal
would engage in hnstilities against the
station, but the maraU9ing Wshehe, with
whom Bushiri possibly had his headquar-
teTs, had to be kept in check. Bushiri
possessed only a few guns.
The German Emin PRsha relief com.
mittse has received cable dispatch from
Zanzibar stating that letters from DIR.
Peters, bearing date of October 9th, have
reached Lamoo, East Africa. According
to the letters the expedition under com-
mRnd of DIR. Peters was then Rt Korkcrro,
and everything was proceeding sa,istac'
torily.
It is argusd by the committee TINT the
receipt of these letters shows that the re-.
port of the massacre OF DR.. Peters and
the members OF the expedition by natives
was untrue.
