Boston SAYS: Mr.. stanley IS 50 lndig
nsnt at the persistent assaults upon
him by the Barttelot and jameson fam
/ lies. that be has resolved 10 depart
I from the course which he had LAID out,
and 10 lay bare the dreadful facts con-
neeted with the fate OF the rear guard,
demonstrating AT tho same time the
truth OF the only charge which he has
made-that the failure of the rear col
/ umu was due 10 the indifference OF It's
officers. and 10 their violation OF h,s
written instructions. The most recent
charges. made by Mr.. Harry Quintar,
and said 10 have occasloned much com
ment IN London, are that Mr.. Stanley
! broke open the seals Of Jameson's box,
took therefrom MS private papers, and
only gave them 40 when threatened
with law suit.
In reply TO this Mr.. Stanley shows
letter which he wrote to Franc is de
Winton, from Cairo, March 5, 1890, and
which has neverbefore been published.
A copy OF it. made IN London, has just
been sent TO Mr. Stanley. The import
ant portions are as follows:
"On arriving at Banalya, August II,
1888, met Mr.. Bonney, who told me
that Lieut.. Jameson had gone TO Stan
/ ley Falls, seven days journey.
Twelve days later letter was received
from him dated August y, stating that
he was going TO Bangala, 800 miles be-
low, on tile Congo. Still imagining
that ne would hurry after us. we took

were now certain that jameson would
not be able to overtake US, had the
box opened aud saw II was filled with

The reader Will recollect that Jane
sons death had occurred on the day
when Stanley and Bonney met at Ban
aIya:)
NEARLY year later we were at the
south end of Lake Victoria, when we
received newspaper clippings mention
ing that Maj Barttelot had written to
| Sir Francis dc WntOn in October, 1897,
that he was bound to remain at Fam
buva until November, and as Mr.
Bonney could give no reason why he
and his officers we're bound to remain,

no rational reason for anything. /
sealed the diaries as before to deliver
them TO his widow on my arrival in
! London.
"All that have said against Jane
son has been in that general censure
| applied to all the officers OF the rear
column, but if they nave any regar d
| for JamesOn's memory | would advise
them not to press me to give my rea-
! sons for that censure.
"At the least they Will explode the

keep down. You are yourself aware

what he did say. | am firmly persuaded

''l have legal complaint against bo th
! Barttelot ana jameson for sending my
baggage (eight boxes away, and have
not heard OF them from that time.
"The interests of the expedition they

that the sending of medicines away was

medicines. and | suffered from the
want of the clothes which they sent
away.
at would be well for Mrs. Jameson
and Mr. Andrew Jameson TO consider
whether they wish All these matters 10

TO 20 on, by all means, and let the on
sequences be what they may. Ia the
meantime please consider this COM
