man Of bratAl temper, which lie made no
effort 10 govern; that be WAS cruel 70
his followers and unreasonable IN e1ae-
tions upon the natives who were co.
operating with them. lie succeeded by
ha0itusl unreasoa in getting himself
thoroughly disliked b. every one.
Hearing noise outside his tent
one morning. he sent q sergeant
70 INQUIRE the cause. The sergeant re-
ported that be could ind 10 one respon-
slble. Barttelot then sent his body
servant a native boy, who reported that
a woman was singing and men were
dru mming, according 70 the native
custom OF salutlng tho rising sun.
BartteloL with an oath. declared
he would shoot the first one who re-
fused 10 stop the noise, and took down
his rife for that purpose. Going out
be found near the native chief s hut
woman, Chief Sorgas wife, singing. he
told her TO stop. She paid no attention
TO him, and be struck her. Stanley
says: "She screamed, and sorga, who
was in his hut cleaning his gun, looked
out, and. seeing Barttelot abusing his
wife, shot him. These men, adds the
explorer, love their wives As we do
ours" Stanley said that no jury in
England would censurS the man who
killed Barttelot.
Mr. Barttolot says that Stanley's &C
count Of his brothers death is COM
pletely at variance with Jsmcson's
account and Sorga's confession. lie also
declares that il has been clearly proved
that his brother met his death while
carrying out Sankey's instructions to
the letter. Mr.. Bsrttelot says that
although the rear column was composed
of feeble and sick men and the worst
characters and it was in miserable
condition through famine and inactivity
the mortality was less than in SANKEY'S
column.
LONDON, Nov. s.-The Times prints
three-column signed statement which
Stanley dictated TO IS Now York cor
respondent In this Stanley accuses
Major Barttelot of persistent and vim.
dictive cruelty to the people under mis-
command, which directly led to his
death. Stanley says that he himself
would have acquitted the murderer. He
adds that Barttelot entertained and ex-
pressed the widest and most unfounded
sus picions, which extended to the be-
lief that Stanley would not hesitate to
poison Bartselot, and I'd formed de-
ign to abandon the expedition and
carry out his own projects with the con-
nivance of Jameson and Tippu Tib.
Stanley accused Jameson of having pur-
chased a girl for the sole purpose of
having her murdered so that canni-
balistic scene might be furnished for
his sketch book. Regarding this hor-
rible charge Mr.. Stanley says:
"A witness 10 the incident man. drew up in
his own handwriting az anadavit wherein he
swears IN the presence Of witnesses to the fell
loNing story; That Jameson, returning from
Kascngo aud conversing with Tippu lib and
he o.
them that he did not believe there was
any such thing cannibaiisDl because,
although he had heard much OF it, he had
never seoR il, and no white man had
ever seen it done. In reply 20 this Tlppu Tib
is said TO have SAID 1T is easy enough TO prove
i. II you like Upon which jameson asked
how. and Tippu TiS responded: Pay ior slave
ead give il TO those men there. They will show
YOU WhcrcupOn Mr.. jameson said be was
/ very willing. Twelve cotton bandSerchiefs
were then given, and with them q little girl
aged some ten or twelve years was pur-
CHASED. She was given 10 the men,
and Mr. jameson Is said 10 have
then told them Now let us see what you can

The Times says that IL these charges
I are true they will compel all English
men to execrate the memory of men
who could bring such disgrace 10 tho
name and fame OF Nation which
yields 70 n as in its regard for humani-
u and justice. We must hsvever. ad-
I nit that the evidence is far tcom COM
