Boston, Nov. 7.-Lieutenant Troup, who
was with Stanley in his last expedition, is in
Cambridge visiting relatives of his wife {.
He is preparing to return 10 England.
He interrupted his packing long
enough to read what Stanley had
said to New York reporters to-day, and then
very emphatically gave the lie direct to
some of Stanley's statements relative to
Barttelot and Troup. He did not pose as
defender of all that Barttelot did. but
merely wished to do justice to that officers
memory and at the same time relieve him
self from the imputatiOn of insubordina-
tion. He said:
If Stanley we're to stick to one story it
would be easier to reply to him; but he
jumps about so often and contradicts him
self so frequently that it is impossible to
keep very near him. In one interview
Stanley's charges of dsloyalty against Bart
telot are based upon letters from me, and
now, after the letters have been published,
Stanley ignores them and takes Bonney's
diaries for proof; but in his book Stanley
llaces no reliance on the diaries Of his sub
ordinates
"The rear guard was not in condition to
follow after Stanley, and it would have
been physical impossibilty. 1t is plain
enough to most minds that $50 sick, en-
feebled and disabled men could not travel
with heavy loads through Il rough, dense
Major Bartielot did right to remain.
l did protest again and again against
certain acts of Barttelot'S, but he was not
devoid of many excellent points. When
Stanley charges me with cowardce and in-
difference to the fate of the natives with our
guard he knows that he is not telling the
truth. / have always treated my men as
kindly as if they were Europeans.
Stanley himself was responsible for at
least part of the misery growing out of
our starvation and privation. When STAN
ley left us he left only enough brass rods to
give one per week to each native, with
which to purchase fish, for five months.
When this supply was exhausted we were
in terrible straits. In view of Stanley's
stern and relentless discipline no one dared
to disobey his order. and we were finally
forced to eat moldy biscuit and spoiled
rice in order to save our lives.
"Barttelot did not dare to use the pro-
visions which Stanley had left for an emer-
gency. He felt, perhaps, that the fate of
entire expedition devolved upon his abso-
lutte obedience to Stanley's orders, aud like
a good soldier, he Obeyed his orders. The
medicines were almost worthless, and those
that were of any avil were insufficient.
Barttelot actually starved himself. He tried
to not ask his men to suffer any privation
that he would not endure himself, and he
shared all Of their privationS."

for this story was the sketches shown him
by European. The Times says editorially
that if these charges are true they will
compel all Engishmen to execrate the men,
Ory of the men who could bring such dis
grace to the nation. The proof against
Jameson, however, is deplorably vague.
Walter Barttelot says that Stanley'S account

reiterates all his charges and says that
Stanley's action in leaving Nelson's party
twenty-three days without food resulted in
the death OF forty-seven of them.

ber of coasting vessels are wrecked. Ad-
vices from Belfast state that report was
received there that yacht had foundered in
Belfast Lough. and its owner, Scottish
nobleman, was drowned.
A later dispatch says the yacht lost there

telupe, the eldest son and heir of the Earl of
Delaware. The yacht, which attempted to
ride out the storm at anchor, was dragged
ashore and struck on the rocks. Viscount
Cantelupe was aboard and was drowned.

ing with terrific fury and shows no signs Of
abatement. The damage is great.

car, full of passengers, was turned upside

in connection with the wreck is that Detect

noted case of the Otterville train robbery
were on the train EN- route TO Otterville to
testify in the case of Hughes and Hutfmany,
who were arrested for the Robbers CUT
