HERBERT STANLEY.
Lieutenant Troup Does Not Speak Very
Flatteripgly of the Explorer,

BosToN, October 29.h-Lieutenant Troup. in
| his interview with reporter about Major Bart
| the following statement: Mr. Stanley has seen
| fit to specify two things which Major Barttelot
| did which called forth censure from him. One
| was the shooting of Zanzibar porter for steal
| ing meat, and another was the fogging of q
| Soudanese soldier for breach of discipline
| Now Stanley has that all mixed up. The Sou
danese sol Ter was shot for desertion and for
| stealing gun and ten rounds OF amunltiOn
| and the Zanzibarian was flogged for stealing
| meat. Had interfered. Msj IT Barttelot would
have been justified in shooting me on The spot
| He was in command, not l. While that was G0t
a military expedition, it was b,olutely neces-
sary to have good discipline, and good discil line
required but one head, one commander Bart
| telot was selected by Stanley, and reierate my
| charge that Stanley was primarily responsible
| for any biunders made.
| ''MI. Stanley is great explorer, but he went
into this for fame and " hat he could get out of
| it. He has no more philanthropy than my boot.
! l will go further and say that the expedition
| was in the nature of a speculation, and not a
philanthropic relief movement. The capitalists
| who backed it were after the ivory which Emin
Pasha was supposed to have collec ed. The
officers of the expedition had promise of GER
tain share of the big supply of ivory which was
| expected, as reward for their services.
| "Emin Pasha's release was secondary con-
sideration entirely. He didn't want to be re-
leased. He had been up there ten or twelve
| years and held his own all right.
This fact explains the entire situation and
| the expedition must necessarily lose some of
| the glamour which surrounds it when it is
known that greed for fame and riches, instead
| of humanity, prompted the movement.
EvADEs TIE CHARGES.
LONDON, October 29th.-In an interview in the
| Telegraph, Stanley still INDUCES in innueIdo.
| ana evades the charge that c left the scum of
his men with Barttelot. He declares that the
bad state of the rear column was due to occur
renceS too horrible to describe. Answering the
charges made by Troup, in America stanley
accuses Troup of jasiousy. Stanley and his
wife sail fer New York to day.
In an article IN the Contemporary ReUtelC DR..
Pet rs ass rts that Stanley more than once
threatened TO force Emin to accompany him to
the coast, and makes several serious charges
against Stanley.
STANLEY INTERVIEWED.
NEW YORK, October 29th-A Herald Liverpool
special says: Stanl. sailed on the Teutonlc to-
day. Just before he stepped the tender
which conveyed him and his wife to the big
steamer lying in the river, asked him bad he
seen the statement by Lieutenant Troup which
had been CAP ed from America to the English
newspapers.
well, yes he replied, 81 hastily read what
Lieutenant 1Ioup has said. When l re urned
from Albert NyanZa to find the rear column was
in a position to judge what had been DONE
Everything was disorganized and in the utmost
confusion. Things had occurred which have
been suggested. but are too horrible to describe
in all their barbarity, things which, were they
fully described. would make an Engllshman's
blood boil and his cheek flush with shame"
At this point Mrs. Stanley appeared, but Mr..
Stanley had not yet said anything of Major
Bar .telois death. Rising and pointing to
chair in the middle OF the loom, he said:

was killed. R member, sir, this man was not
slave; he was an independent chief who had
come to camp to make money"
LIEUTENANT BAERT TALKS.
! BRUSSELS, October 29th-'I have Just had an
| interview with the Belgian, Lieutenant BaeIt,
| who was Typo 1io's secretary at the time of
| the Emin relief expedition. He was fire.
| ideut of the Stanley Falls court-martial. which
| tried Sanga, Barttelots murderer. Baert says
| that SANKEY'S statement that any English jury
would have acquitted SaDga seems to be an
impeachment of the court-martials fairness
The real ct is that during the tiial Sanga
himself alleged no other motive for numbering
Barttelot than that BarttelOt, being disturbed
during the night of July 18th by Manyema
musical reveis, which he had strictly forbidden,
issues from his tent, where Bonny also slept,
and discovered that the noise was made by
Sangas wife. He raised a stick against her,
whereupon Sanga in unprecedented anger,
thrust his gun against against Barttelots
breast and fired. He was so cose that Bartte-
| lots clothes were foucd burned on his body.
This was the version of all the eyewitness .es,
corroborated by Sanga himself.
| Lieut. nant Baert believes that Stanley state
ment, that he could by certain revelations
blast other reputions must be an allusion TO
! the extraordinary charge brought against
! Jameson, Barielots cead friend, namely, that
at Kassogo, Jameson purchased black boy
| and encouraged the Manyemas to kill and eat
| him simply for the pleasure of witnessing can
| nibalism. Baert does not believe single word
of this story, although Jami sons sketch-book
contained sketches of cannibsl practices, but he
gives this as a probable expansion of STAN
| ley's assertions.
