END OF EMIN PAsHA.
The Noted African Explorer is
Said to be Dead.

LONDON, Sept.4,-It may be stat
ed that all doubts that have pre-
vailed as to the death of Emin Pa
sha, the noted African explorer, are
set at rest by information possess
ed by Mr.. A. ]. Swami, q mission
airy who for ten years has been en-
gagged in missionary work at Ujiji.
Mr.. Swami is now in London and
the Associated Press representative
has had an extended conversation
with as to the reported death of
Emin Pasha.
] "There is no question as to his
DEATH" said Mr. Swami. Il am as
certain that he is dead az | am that
l am sitting here. In February
letter came to me while l was at
Uiiii, asking what should be done
with Emin's effects. This inquiry
naturally prompted me to make an
investigation. | did so, and the re-
ksult is information which is authen-
! ic to the effect that Jacob Schytzer,
tor Emin Pasha, as he was better
hlnown, had been killed by native
kohief in the Manyema country.
RIhis was sufficiently startling in
formation, but it was not the worst
por the most startling. | ascertain
"a that Eihin's guard of thirty
Eubian warriors had not only been
elaughtered, but that they had sub
Ysequently been eaten by the canni-
balistic natives who had overcome
the expedition.
"The report was most circum-
stantial and confirmation of the
facts later reached me from four
different sources. The killing of
lEmin and his party greatly pleased
the Arabs, who rejoice in being rid
OF his presence.
"The explorer was tracked day
lin and day out by the hostile tribes
twho had long determined to make
9the little band victims to the hatred
they feel for all intruders.
"Emin had already traversed the
Ruand country, following river
which flows into the Congo. The
expedition came finally to the homv

abad, where he paused in his jour
lney.
"soon after The arrival there a
number of Arabs appeared and
seeking out the traveller asked him
where he intended going.
'We propose going on to the
coast replied Emin Pasha.
meanwhile the Arab band bad
gathered closer and pushed upon
the explorer with darkcning brows
and threatening demonstrations.
The situation was clearly critical.
The implacable natives who had SO
Hong trailed after Emin Pasha, had
their prey at last in limbo, and
there was clearly no parley that
would be countenanced or tolerated
by the hostiles.
I" Il propose to go on to the coast
said Emin, and then came the be-
ginning of the end. Out from
among the black and clouding
ranks of the hostiles giant fellow
moved forward toward Emin. Lift

says:
1t becomes apparent day by day that
there are sharp fights ahead. The
Americans never made a greater mis-.
take than in bringing Aguinaldo and
the insurgent leaders here and giving
them arms and ammunition free from
the Cavite arsenal. Aguinaldo, fear.
ing annexation by the Americans,
openly opposes them. He has either
been corrupted by some foreign power
or has an exaggerated opinion of the
strength of the Philippine revolution.

Concentration OF Spanish Forces

Although he admits the assistance of
the Americans he talks of his author.
ity and dictates to the American au.
thorities in absurd terms. He has
commanded the insurgents on the
southern approaches to Manila to hold
their bullocks and ponies and not to
furnish them to the Americans for
transportation without his sanction.
General Merritt adopted firm measures
warning Aguinaldo that force will be
used to impress the means of transport,
which were ultimately forthcoming.
Aguinaldo's action makes the attack
on Manila problematical.

General Merritt Finds the Situation at
Manila Unsatisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-General Mer.
rift has again cabled the wal depart
ment relative to the situation in Ma.
Mia, which he finds very unsatisfac.
tory and dangerous, owing to the
attitude of the insurgents. In the
opinion Of General Merritt the attitude
Of the insurgents there is similar to
that assumed by Garcia's Cubans upon
the question of their right to enter and
possess themselves of the city, although
in this case the insurgents are o very
much more formidable element, being
not only more numerous, but better
armed, filed with the arrogance fol.
lowing numerous victories wei their
Spanish foes. General Merritt, how.
ever, indicates that he will do his ut.
most to protect the citizens from the
savagery of the insurgents, though his
task is a delicate and difficult one, be.
cause of the fact that he must, while
fighting the Spaniards, be ready at any
moment to repel the insurgents.
