ROASTING H. M. STANLEY

Sensation.
HE WAS KING IN AFRICA
The Great Explorer Accused OF
Cruelty. lngratitude, Tyranny
and Many Other Crimes
BY His Officers.

LONDON, ,Oct.23-The "Diaries and Let
ters of Major Barttelot,n the murdered
commander of Sianley's rear guard, are
published here to-day. They contain
serious CHARGES against the African ex.
plorer. Tie book was edited by the dead
mans trother, Walter Barttelot. who in

book would have been published had jus
tice been even partially done, or any
kindness shown by the leader Of the ex-
petition TO the officer who was left at
fanlbuya with the impediments, stores
and baggage
Charges Of malienity, ingraditude, mis-
representation and desertion are then
brought against Stanley. In his
book, Stanley finds fault be-
cause the rear column did not
follow the advance column as directed.
Bart.elot asserts his brothers diaries and
lotters as well as the testimony Of surviv-
ing officers show Stanley made IL utterly
impossible TO carry out those orders, as he
took all the strong, able men, and those
Of good character with him, leaving to the
rear guard the sick, feeble and incor-
rigible.
Major BarItelot'sdiariesd declare Stanley
threatened TO blast the majors reputation
with Lord Wolsely and ruin his career in
the army. In reference 10 this incident
Barttelot gives his his brothers words:
afterwards, turning TO me, Stanley
said IL was in his power 10 ruin
me in the service. said 10
him this was an empty threat
as il would take a great deal more than
he could say to do that. He punished me
afterwards by making me march TO Leo
poldyille with seventy men who were
noted 70 laziness and incapacity for car
rying loads, warning me il lost single
load must stand the consequences
This expose Of Stanley's character, as
shown up by the diaries and letters,
makes spicy reading. The story includes
a quarrel between Stanley and Sephson.
The publication has caused great sen.
sation here. Stanley refuses to be inter.
viewed OH the subject.

An Alarming State Of Anairs Reported In
Indian Territory

KANSAS City, Oct. 23.-Thomas Knight,
geological engineer on the Rock Island
railway, has been for some months past
in the Indian territory making a geologi-
cal survey of the country to be traversed
by the Rock Island extension. He re-
turned to-day, and in an interview said an
alarming feeling OF discomfort exists
among the Indians of the territory with
respect 10 the occupation OF their lands by
the whites. The work OF the north
Indians, who have been wrought up for
some time over the prediction of the
medicine man, the Indian Christ, who is
shortly 10 come among them and
by his inspired leadership lead
them in an irresistible crusade
against tho whites has extended 20
the territory. For months past there has
been passing among the tribes various
tokens and signs that mean discomfort
and secret plotting.

LONDON, Oct 23.-At a meeting OF the
Sunderland branch Of the shipping feder-
alton, yesterday, il was stated that the
central authority in London was arrang-
ing for general lockout should the sailors
persist in their hostile attitude.
The shipping Gdssite says on this sub
iect: "Should such desperate remedy be
necessary, the ship owners will have no
difficulty in making out their case. They
can show that their business Is being
ruined by the tyranny of the new union
ism. The prospect OF an immense fedora
tion OF every trade remotely connected
with shipping has convinced the ship
owners that something must be done
promptly. Il is better to have a short,
sharp, decisive struggle now than make n
