Merchants and Traders made settlements
with the clearing house all right. and TIE
other two banks received assistance from
other banks in the association and pulled

America 1t was stated that the trouble was
due to the account of Decker. Howell &
Co., and now the bank was in a stronger
position than ever
The most important factor in the deyel
opments was the scarcity of money right

committee with authority to issue clearing
house loan certificates in order to enable
the banks to settle the balances between
themselves This action is expected to re-
store complete confidence

Stanley was responsible for the fate of the
poor fellows in Camp Yambuya, first by
MS poor Judgment in the selection of q
poor commanding officer, and second, by
neglectlng to provide sufficient food and
supplies to be used in case of emergency,
Wnlch emergency was his delay in return
ing to the camp"
Lieutenant Troup referred to the stories
ABOUT cannibalism and said: 81 did
see those sketches Stanley refers to- but
never said that Jameson bought the girl
ana gave her to cannibals. The story as
nearu IL Is as follows: Jameson had been sent
10 hasongo by Barttelot's order to see Tippu
lid, who had left Stanley falls some time
IN April, 1888, the idea being to make new
propositions IN regard to the proposed car
riers. Jameson was accompanied by Assad
Farran, interpreter to the expedition and
ny, MS black boy. He returned to our
camp the first week in June and visited me
and was sick in my hut. He was clever
aftlst and ardent naturalist and never lost
an opportunity to make good sketches 1t
was customary to show them to me- he
calling me his art critic. On this occasion
ne said he made a lot of sketches during
MS absence and they would amuse me while
ne was at lunch. Some of the sketches
impressed me very strongly. They were the
canniDal sketches which Bonny alludes too.
When Jameson came to my hut after lunch
he asked me in a chatting way if I
thought he had improved. NV reply
was, What an awful subject you have
mere. His reply was, in effect,
That he had not been present at the killing
OF the girl and that that part of the sketch
was drawn from descriptions, but that he
came in afterward just as they were feast
ing. L thought nothing more about it at the
Time. The steamer which Ward had sent
up mad arrived, and the next day l was
rolled OIL my camp into hammock and car
req TO the steamer. Assad Farran was
also sent home on the same steamer.

old comrade, Captain Vangeli, informed me
