OUTRAGEs IN UPPER CONGO.
TleIgians Brntany Butchering the
Natives.

London, May 1S.-A representative of
the Associated Press to-day had an inter-
view with Rev. Mr.. Sjobloma of the
American Baptist mission in the Upper
Congo, who has just returned to Lon
don. He said when / left, in February,
matters in the Upper Congo were as bad
as ever The commission which the King
of the Belgians appointed to inquire into
the atrocities committed, the victims be-
ing natives, has had almost no result.
The officials are indisposed to act on mis-
sionary evidence, and only few cases
of barbarity were punished. The iniquit-
Gus rubber traffic continues. When the
natives are unable to obtain rubber the
state troops burn the villages, murder
the natives and cut off their hands, which
are afterwards smoked and sent to the
state officials. Parts of the Equators-
vile district are in a state of open war
fare"
1t is understood that the statements of
Rev. Mr.. Sjobloma viii be made the sun
ject of a question in the House of Com
mons,
