NEW York, August 2l,-Dr. Carl
Peters, the African explorer, said to-
day that he wished to correct state
ment which had been attributed to
him in the interviews published on his
arrival from Europe on Friday. Some
papers have quoted me as saying that
Stanley travelled like gentleman while
travelled like o brigand," said DR..
Peters. snow I do not think that
Stanley travelled like gentleman, and
did not say SO, From all that ! can
learn, travelling through the same coun-
try, would say that he did not travel
like gentleman, for he did not treat
his European companions like gentle
men. Stanley lived on good food him
self and allowed his men to live as tho
negroes did. The French missionaries
told me that they visited Stanley,s camp
at Usumbria and saw Stanley sitting at
the head OF the table eating European
diet and drinking claret, while Emin
Pasha, Mr.. Mackay, and the members
Of Stanley's party ate negro diet and
drank water. Twas told that some OF
the white men OF Stanley's party
had to abandon their tents and
sleep in the open air so that
stanley's boxes OF wine could be taken
along, l was told by one OF the mis-
sionaries that when one of Stanley's
companions had the fever and was not
able to 20 on, Stanley took o horse whip
and fogged him, saying: If my white
men fall down, what will the negroes
do?' That was on Stauley's first trip,
and was told that he had a white man
aogged on his last trip. Another thing,
Stanley, in his books and lectures, ex-
cites the pity OF his readers by stories
Of his men starving, Now never
lost man from starvation. l
always drove cattle when was in
doubt as to the country ahead Of
me. When men suffer for want Of food
it is due to carelessness. The rivers OF
Africa contain plenty OF fish, and there
Is plenty OF game il other supplies fail.
Stanley got plenty Of glory and fame
out OF his travels and admire him for
it, but do not admire the way he
treated his men."
''1s there any trouble between
Stanley and you?"
"No, none at all. j stood up for
Emin Pasha, when Stanley was against
him, that is all. ! have no feeling
against Stanley but think the truth
should be told.
~ wish you would say that it is i'm
possible for me to answer all the letters
that are sent to me. People write to
ask IL know positively that Emin
Pasha is alive and to ask for
my autograph. and TO offer to 20 with
me on my next trip to Africa. have
news OF Emin Pasha since the report
Of his death, but do not know II he is
still alive, but think that he is"

ITALY AROUSED

Against France by tho Riots-The Dis
turbance Not Confined to Rome-At.
tempt to Burn the French Embassy.
ROME, August 2L-The troubles grow
ing out Of the fight between the French
and Italian workingmen employed at
the salt works at Aigues-M Marles, France,
threaten to involve grave international
complications. 1t is not in Rome alone
that the popular indignation at what
the Italians consider q gross break Of
international comfy is finding vent in
demonstrations that are evidently in
tended to coerce the government into
demanding an apology from France for
the attack upon Italians and the pay-
ment Of an indemnity to compensate
the families Of these Italians who were
killed. Riots directed against the
Frenchmen have occurred in many Of
the provincial towns and the situation
is considered exceedingly grave.
The most serious outbreak Of popu-
lar feeling against the French occurred
in this city last night, when hooting
mob attempted to burn the French em-
bassy. Some OF the rioters carried cans
of petroleum and did not hesitate to
openly declare that 1t was their inteu-
ton to use it in destroying the'embassy.
The authorities, however, had antici-
pated that an attack might be at
tempted on the embassy and q strong
force OF troops was detailed to guard
the building. The rioters, however,
attempted to carry out their threats TO
burn the embassy, Notwithstanding the
presence of soldiers. They wepe ordered
to disperse but refused to do 20, whore.
upon the soldiers charged upon them.
The mob held their ground for q
time and fought stuhbornly. II was
not until several charges upon them
were made that they began to retreat,
| fighting all the time. Forty.hve Of the
rioters were arrested. Many Of tho
mob who were at tho fore front Of tho
fighting were wounded by the sabres
that the soldiers used unsparingly.
The rioting In the provincial towpa
was only quellod by the use Of troops
tho police being utterly powerleaB TO
handle the mob. Further develops

Pension Commissioner LOchreu Explains
the Action Of the RuFeRu.
WASHINGTON, D, O., August 2l.-The
following statement was to-day given
out for publication by Pension Commits
sloner Lochren;
$50 much misapprehenslon concern
ing the attitude Of the pension bureau
towards the old soldiers Is current, that
1t seema proper to make q public state
ment concerning matters growing out
Of the recent and now pending Van
Leuven Investigations.
"Mr. VanLeuven has for many years
done large pension business, having
his Office at Lime Springs, Iowa. His
cliental has been by no means confined
to his immediate locality, but has been
drawn from all over the states OF Iowa
and Minnesota, and even from more re.
mote parts Of the country. In June
last, as q result Of preliminary in.
vestigation into his methods, he was
suspended by the secretary of the in.
terror from practice before the depart.
ment. While it would not be judicious
to enter into detail at this time as to the
facts brought to light in the preliminary
investigation, will say that 1t was
clearly shown that for years he has sup
ported the claims which he has pros
ecutad by highly developed and sue
cessful system OF dishonest practices.
AT the time OF his suspension evidence
was before the bureau showing beyond
question instances Of purchase OF testl-
mony, fraudulent preparation OF afii-
davits, bribing OF sworn officials OF the
government and wholesale deception ot
applicants for pensions, by means OF
which they were induced TO show their
gratitude by the payment of fees and
gratuities beyond the amounts allowed
by law.
'"It was apparent that all claims allow
cd upon ex parte evidence furnished by
Van Leuven must be investigated. In
the few cases inquired into at the time
OF the preliminary investigation, evil
dences Of fraud were go plain and 80
numerous that every claim filed and
prosecuted by him became inevitably
an object OF suspicion. Accordingly all
his cases which could be at once identi-
fed in the files OF the bureau were
drawn and examined and nearly 500 OF
these have been sent to Special Exami-
ner Waite at Minneapolis for inveStiga-
tion.
Especial Examiner Waite has been
for several weeks engaged .exclusively
upon these cases. In some instances it
has been found practicable to rescind
the order Of suspension in advance OF
thorough investigation. In such cases
there has been but brief withholding
OF the pension. But in most Of the
cases the evidence upon which the
original action OF tho bureau was based
ia now known to be so worthless that 1t
would be breach Of official trust to
continue payments before the facts have
been thoroughly sifted.
-Four special examiners, experienced
employees OF the bureau, are now en-
gagged upon the VanLeuven cases in
Iowa and Minnesota, and the work will
be carried forward with the greatest
possible diligence and dispatch"
