LONDON, Sept THE latest develop
ments of the Stanley Emin quarrel, with
the supposed light thrown on it by DIR.
Peters, is exciting a good deal Of discus
sion in London today and pretty much
everybody who has expressed any opin-
ion IN the matter is standing up for
Stanley. 1t is taken for granted that DR..
Peters remarks at Munchen were inten-
~tionally pro-German and anti-English in
tone. and this fact somewhat discounts his
u~tterances. AT the same time all that he
says may be true and we have net sufh
cient information at hand concerning the
present condition ofUganda and the latest
predominant phase OF opinion in the much
belied country 10 form a really sound judg-
ment Of the tricky German explorers
statements. That King Manga declines
British protection. and intends to keep the
control of his realms in his WI hands and
welcome all white men TO trade in it, is
reasonable and possible, That he should
give his preference, if to any nation. to
Germany, is only evidence that he said
that to DR.. Peters, or that the last clever
white man who has his ear has his tongue,
too.
A moro serious statement is that Emin
authorized him to state formally that he
consented to desert his equatorial prov
ince only on the direct command of the
khedive, and under StanleY's threat that
he would take him away by force II
necessary. Peters says that EmiD SAID
that he could not endure the idea OF
fighting whites, himself a white man, in
the presence Of equatorial Africa, whom
he had taught to look uron the white
man as something great and indivisible.
Stanley, on his part, in an interview Just
published denies wholesale these and
other charges relating to his behavior at
Wadelae, and blames Wlssmann's craft
and diplomacy for turning Emin's affec-
ton and confidence from Stanley and the
English people and making him suddenly
an enemy of his friends. This began,
says Stanley, with a letter received by
Emin Pasha from Baron Wissmann before
the rescuing party reached the coast, and
continued while the German officer had
ENNIS ear during the %latter's illness,
caused by his fall. Stanley accuses Wiss-
man of williul Misrepresentation and it is
difficult to tell precisely what the truth is.
The point which Mr.. Peters makes
about Emin avoiding a contention be-
tween white men has won cordial indorse-
ment here from the men acquainted with
Africa. They hold that nothing is more
injurious to the success of government
and permanent civilization 10 the dark
continent than the lack of harmony
among the white men, and especially
open disagreement. Stanley himself has
often expressed this conviction. and it is
not believed here that he would have run
the risk of an open quarrel with Emin at
Wadelae. Considerable doubt is felt as
to the accuracy of Emin's story, although
Peters is credited with having reported
him correctly. even with a bias of EN-
phasis on the German side OF the ques-
ton. The report from Zanzibar is also
believed, that Enin warned Tippoo lib
to steer clear of the English, thus trying
to destroy his friendly understanding
with Mr.. Stanley.
