Early yesterday morning five insur-

and, with shotted guns. steamed in be-

vessel replied with what is supposed to
have been blank cartridge. The De-

the Guanabara and sent small shell
into her stern post, and was on the point
of delivering broadside at the insurgent
ship, when the Guanabara signalled
tha' she would stop firing.

The developments in the Emin Pasha will case
| threaten to biacken the great explorers reputa
ton. The Constantinople correspondent of sew
eral newspapers has told this story in the last
week: Emile Leidschaft, the widow whom
Emn made his first wife, was deserted by him
in COnstantnOpe in 1876. He took with him at
that time all her money and jewellery, which re-
presented a considerable fortune inherited from
her first husband. He had previously sold the
house and land in COnstantinople which her first
husband left her, and had appropriated the pro;
ceeds to his own use. He went to Africa and
before his wife discovered that Emin was iden-
teal with Edward Schnitzter whom she had
married. By obtaining official aid from Ger
many, she was enabled to force from Emin a
lump sum of 10000 marks. Further efforts to
make him restore her property were vain. He
even refused to answer her letters begging him
to maintain her and her daughter Pauline.
