Acquitted His Slayer.

LONDON, Nov. 8, 3 A. M.-The Times this
morning prints three-column signed state
ment which Stanley dictated TO it's New
York correspondent. In this Stanley ac-
cuses Maj. Barttelot OF persistent vindictivs
cruelty 70 the people under his command,
which directly led TO his death. Stanley
says that he himself would have acquitted
the murderer. He ADDS that
MAJ. barttelot entertained and expressed
the widest aud most unfounded suspicious,
which extended TO a belief that Stanley
would not hesitate to poison him (f3arttelot), /,
and had formed a design to abandon the
expedition and carry out his own projects,
with the connivanoe Of jameson and Tippoo
Tib.
MURDER OF rHF GIRL

chased the girl for the sole purpose Of hav-
ing her murdered, so that a cannibalistic
scene might be furnished for his sketchbook
stanley admits that the information
was obtained from Bonny, ZanEibaris.
Arabs and Maryemas. The only basis he
gives for the Jameson story is that Euro
pean showed him the sketches and that he
had seen the evidence reported TO the au-
thorities Of the Congo state.
The Times says: "If these charges are
true they will compel all Englishmen to
execrnte the memory of men who would
bring much Disgrace to the name and fame
OF @ nation which yields to none In its re-
gard Tor humanity and justice. We must,
however, admit that the evidence Is far
from complete. aud as regards the Jameson
charge. 1t Is depiorably vague"

Lieut.. Baert, one of the officers
who tried Sorga, says that Stanlsys asser-
tion that an English jury would have
acquitted rippo lib seems an impeachment
OF the court-martial's fairness.
Sorga's only defense was that Barttelot
was about to strike his wife. and
as tho Manyema penalty for murder is
merely pecuniery, Sorga needed no further
provocation Bonny did not appear until
after the scene, aud II Stanley depends on
the accounts OF the Manyemas he must no.

ciares that Stanley only raised the Question
IN order to throw dust in the eyes OF the

one replied, "it goes to the dead letter office

Later, however, he called on Postmaster

complaint against Mrs. Watkins for her
language to him. Postmaster General
Wanamaker directed Postmaster Sherwood
to investigate the matter, and meanwhile
Mrs. Watkins is under suspension. From
written statements Of the matter made to-
