Sent to Officials.

LONDON, May ia representative of
the Associated Press to-day had an inter-
view with Rev. Mr.. Sjoblom. of the Amer
lean BAPTIST mission in the upper Congo,
who has just returned to London. He said:
when l left, in February, matters in the
upper Congo were as bad as ever. The
commission which the King of Belgium APP
pointed to inquire into the atrocities COM
mitted, the victims being natives, has had
almost no result. The officials are indis-
posed to act on missionary evidence, and
only a few cases of barbarity were pun
ished. The iniquitous rubber traffic con-
tinues. When the natives are unable to OBJ
tain rubber the state troops burn the viii
lagos, murder the natives and cut off their
hands, which are afterwards smoked and
sent to the state officials. Parts of the
Charlottesville district are in a state of open
warfare
1t is understood that the statement of the
Rev. Mr.. Sjoblem will be made the subject
of a question in the House of Commons.
