BRUssELs June 24.-The Reforme says
II learns from good source that the entire
Dhanis expedition to the headwaters OF the
Nile. including Baron Dhanis himself, has
been massacred.
Baron Dhanis last year enlisted 5000 men
in the Congo Free State to take part in a
secret expedition. The British government
allowed a number of its Hussas troops to
join the expedition, but 1t was officially
denied that an Anglo Belgian movement had
been concerted against the Mahdists. The
general impression, however. was that this
force intended to act in conjunction with the
Anglo Egyptian expedition up the Nile and
take the Mahdists between two fires and
eventually complete the re-conquest Of the
soudan In August last Baron Dhanis was
reported to have arrived at Lado, north OF
the territory OF the Congo Free State, on
the White Nile, and some $50 miles north
of Victoria Nyanza. 1t was then understood
that the Dhans expedition would push on
northward in the direction of Khartoum.
Early in December last it was reported
that the expedition had met with disaster
and that Baron Dhanis had been killed.
Later 1t was authoritatively stated that there
was no ground for the report and that when
last heard from in September the baron
was at Stanley Falls GOO miles from the
nearest Dervish forces
Baron Dhanis was born in London in 1862.
of a Belgian father and mother of English
extraction. In 1884 he became a lieutenant
In an infantry regiment and later was en-
trusted with a mission to Zanzibar by the
International African association. He soon
displayed considerable ability and ap-
pointed by the Belgian government to the
command of the expedition to Katanga. He
defeated Gongoluttete, one of the most ag-
gressive of slave-tradng Arabs, defeated
Zefu and Munie Moharre and captured
Nyangwe and Kassongo Dhanis also in
ficted a crushing defeat upon Rumaliza
completely cverthrowing the Arab rule in
that district. Later he returned to Belgium
and made a baron by King Leopold
His appointment to the command of the
Anglo-Belgian secret expedition against the
Mahdists was the next chapter in the career
OF this officer.
