LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Times this morn
publishes a three column signed state
ment from Bonny. who opens by regret
ting that Barttlors brother forced the
disclosure Of the painful story. Bonny
says Stanley only heard OF the poisoning
suspicious from him on the 26th Of octo-
Der. Bonny says Bartellot and Jameson,
afterwards questioned the Arabs belong
ing 10 Stanley's previous expedition as TO
the fate Of Pocock aud the others, and ex-
pressed the opinion that Stanley would
poison anybody. He admitted that ru-
mors 20 that effect were current IN
Europe, but nothing had ever been proved
against Stanley.
Bonny confirms the report that Bart
telot asked him for a tasteless poison
TO give Tippo Tbs nephew, Selim,
with whom he had a quarrel Bonny hid
all the poisons.
Barttelot did not make further attempts
TO poison Slim. Bonny confirms the
statement that Bartteloi deliberately hit n
woman. For this, Barttelot would
have been lynched IL Bonny had not
succeeded In rescuine him. Bonny has
not the slightest doubt that the boy Sandi
died from the effects Of kick given him
by Barttelot. He confirms the statement
that a missing boy, John Henry, who
acted as interpreter, died from the effects
Of 800 lashes. He did not desert as
stated, but was left on the road.
The boy was afraid 10 come back because
he had sold Barttelot's revolver 10 procure
food. The major recaptured the boy and
had him publicly sentenced TO be shot,
not intending 10 carry out the sentence.
The whole camp threatened TO desert II
then exclaimed: "By God, | will give
him 800 lashes." Henry became insensi-
BILE after receiving 30 lashes.
The scene was the most horrible he
(BonnyJ ever saw. Modification set in
and the flesh OF the victim fell in pieces to
the ground. HIS body swelled 10 twice its
ordinary size and he died in "a hours.
Bonny tells Of the unprovoked stabbing
OF Chief Ungunga, by Barttellot, with a
ing prevailed in the village
till the major arrived, when
he Immediately caused trouble by
extravagant demands and threats. Bonny
confirms several other stories and tells
about the killing OF Zinzabars by Bartellot,
who, after beating man frightfully with
n staff, smashed his skull with il.
Barttellot, he says, projected an expedi.
ton OF his own TO reach Casati, and not
go 10 Unyoro.
Bonny confirms Stanley's account OF
the murder of Barttelot except that Bart
telot had not n cypress staff but a revolver
in hIs hand and punched and kicked
the woman. Bonny justifles the sentence
Of death OF the Soudaneze soldier Burpan
Mahomn,ed, but says Stanley is entirely
correct in stating Barttelot projected an
expedition Of his own by which Il wns
planned 10 reach Casati and not go to
Unyero. Bonny threatened that he would
enlist the assistance Of the Arabs TO frus.
trate this plan, and therefore il was
dropped. lie never thought Stanley
was dead. With regard to Stanley's
specific charge against him Of lack OF
intuition. Bonny says he is glad Bart
telots blood is not on his head, as 1t
would have been had he violently re-
sisted and tried to stop Barttelots doing
SO. Had he done the whole camp so
execrated the major that in moment,
on the raising of Bonny's hand, Barttelot
would have been torn limb from limb.
Bonny admits combined action might
have succeeded, but the relations Of the
officers were too strained, and single
writ of protest would have made the pro-
tester marked man, and il was no slight
matter 10 incur Barttelot's dislike. Bonny
declared he has no doubt OF the correct
ness of Jameson's story. Jane
son showed him the cannibalistic
scene as described in detail.
Tho sketches are now IN the posses
sion Of Janeson's widow, and they repre-
sent the tying up and killing and carving
Of a girl. The distribution OF the flesh TO
the natives scrambling for pieces and
the cooking and feasiing. Bonney de-
clares he told Barttelot's brother of the
whole proceeding, and that had he pub
lished the complete diaries they would
have thrown much light on the affair.
He says in conclusion he can
Only Dtiltft tudt Ddrtttlot was lil-
sane. He wrote to this effect TO Sir Wal
ter Barttelot relating his reasons for this
belief, and he thought 1t a pity the dead
mans relatives failed 10 take this charit-
able view.
A communication from Stanley appears
in this mornings Times in which he gives
the names OF the persons who informed
him OF the Jameson incident. He says
Jameson said IL such a charge were
brought against him, he would deny IL.
He also says clergyman in London has
seen negro's head and neck which
Jameson has sent home to be
stuffed. Stanley adds he could
not have believed this story himself
bad not Jameson appeared TO glory in the
fact that he was the only white man who
had seen cannibalism.
The Times calls upon Bartellot and
Mrs. Jameson TO publish everything in
their possession in order that the whole
dreadful business may be cleared up.
Good Cheer for Consumptive..
