LONDON, Oct. 3O.-TBy cable to the New
York World. STANLEY fired hot parting
shot before he left Liverpool yesterday, &C
cusing Lieutenant Troup of jealousy and
trying to crawl cut of the direct charges
made against him by the surviving officers
or the rear guard In this abusive inter
view which appears in to-day's Thurs
days DAILY Telegraph, Stanley throws down
the gauntlet to Troup and makes further
concea!ment of the dark secrets of the ex =
petition impossible. In D 3cember last the
World printed cable dispatch that Major
Barttelot was killed by the enraged hus-
band of woman he beat because she
played tom-tom outside of his tent. Troup
originally intended to tell the whole story
IN his book, but the book was suppressed
by the injunction of Stanley. He at last
admits this, though he treats Barttelot's
death as mere bagatelle to the further
revelations he has up his sleeve Rising
from his settee and pointing to a chair in
the middle of the room, Stanley said
There Is the house Barttelot was IN.

Stanley still breaches his purely philan-
thropic motives and denies the expedition
was made to crafty any dream of wealth

know, sir, that before left England spent

distributed e3, 900 among those who had ac
companled me for their admirable ser

In this interview Stanley clearly shows
his hand Id opens the way fer his rear
guard officers to let the public know the
facts. Public sentiment in London runs
against Stanley. At Wards lecture Stan
ley's name was received almost in absolute
silence, while Barttelot's was greeted with
applause
