"On January Is / received with this
batch of letters two notes from the pasha
himself, confirming the above, but not a
word from either Jephson or the pasta in
dicating the pasha's purpose; did he still
waver or was he at last resolved not to
leave the country with any other man than

that being prisoner and fierce enemy
hourly expected to give the coup mortel,
he would gladly embrace the first chance
to escape from the country. But there
was no hint in these letters what course

many virtues, but do not you be drawn
into the fatal fascination the Soudan ter

seem to be drawn into whirlpool which

said: Relieve Emin with this
ammunition. If he wishes to
come out the ammunition will en-

will be of service to him. The khedive
said the same thing and added that if the
pasta and his officers wished to stay they
could do SO on their own responsibility. Sir

In the course of his correspondence Mr..
Stanley says: ION February Jephson ar
rived in the afternoon at our camp at Kar-
Wallis. l was startled to hear JeDhson, in
is the pasha's worst enemy. No one keeps
Emin back but Emin himself This is
the summary of what Jephson learned
during the nine months from May IS, 1888,
to February &, 1889. Jephson's only reply
to my inquiries is: I really can't tell you
what the pasta means to do. He says he
wishes to 20 away but will not move. No
one will move. 1t is impossible to say
what any man will do. Perhaps another |
advance by the Madists will send them all |
pell nell towards you, to be again irresO- |
lutte and requiring several weeks rest
Stanley next describes how he had |
already sent orders to mass the whole of |
his forces ready for contingencies. He |
also speaks of the suggestions he made to |
Emin as to the best means of joining him,
upon something definite, other
wise it would be his (Stanley's) duty to
destroy the ammunition and march home
ward. He continues: February 10 a
native courier appeared in camp with a
letter from Emin and with the news that
plateau camp. But this is his formal
letter TO me. The 18th. Sir: In answer to
your letter of the 7th instant 1 have the
