LONDON, Dec 21.-Sir Francis de winton
has made public long letter written 20
him by Stanley, dated Ursafala, Aug. 81.
In 1t Stanley objects very strongly to the
tone Of batch of newspaper cuttings he
had received, which commented with an
utter lack Of common sense and total dis
regard OF accuracy upon his expedition. He
dwells upon Emin's indecision, which cost
him journey, otherwise unnecessary, Of
800 miles Tor Barttolot.
Tippoo This salary.
He justi6es the payment Of a salary OF ESQ
per month to Tippoo Tib as a means for
averting desolating war, aud declares that
II both parties are honest in the mainte-
nance Of their agreements peace may con-
tinue for an indefinite period.
His slanderers Rebuked.
He robukes those persons in England who
had lost faith in his steadfastness OF pur-
fR'N " NANA q At-ANN 10 W bANN tAFhAN W
rumors that he was marching in the diree-
tion OF Khartoum.
The Case Of Bartteiot.
He dwells at much length upon the case OF
Barttlot, and removes tha impression pro-
duced by previous letters rejecting upon
the majors conduct He says that 20 extri-
cate himself from his dilemma Barttelot
only needed qualities that will not be
gained save by long experience in Africa,
and eulogizes his courage and high qualities
How Bartteiot Perished.
He knew the major was a man Of little
forbearance and had intended TO keep him
with himself, but necessity compelled the
change that caused him 20 leave him be-
hind Bnrttelot was ignorant of the Ian
gu. Of the people, and his interpreter may
have been false and occasioned the GOODNESS
between the men and the major, which was
never overcome and led 70 his death.
He Only Executed Fanr Men.
Stanley recites in detail the instructions
given TO Barttelot, and finally denies with
much emphasis the alleged Congo atrocities
of the Manyema, the cnnnihalism and the
story Of photographing women during exc
cution. During tho whole expedition he ex
ecuted only four men.
