indeed. been having serious trouble with
1000 OF its soldiers. who have destroyed
n pumbe OF State stations on the eastern
edge OF the country. All these stations were
feebiy manned and were taken by surprise.
The rebels. however. have been repulsed from
other stations which they attacked. They
have never been within many miles Of the
Congo. Their operations have been confined
entirely to tho region far east OF the
river and at no time have they been
within less than 1900 miles from Stan
ley Pool. All the stations OF the State
betwe n Nyangwe and Stanley Pool. q distance
OF 300 miles, are intact. All the affairs of life
are being carried on as usual. and there seems
to be nc danger that the peace will be dis
turbed anywhere along the river. At last ac-
count the rebels were In full retreat and Baron
Dhanis was driving them pell-mell toward
Lake Tanganyika over the very route along
which he pursued the Arab slave cRtchers
when he drove every man of them out of the
Congo State.
Our map shows the situation clearly. The
black line running approximately north and
south. west OF the great lakes. is the route that
the revolving soldiers took in their journey
toward their home. They all belong to the
cannibal Batetcla tribe, whose home is in the
Gandu region, west of the upper Congo. They

the northern end Of the black line. when about
1000 OF them. the advance guard of Baron
Dhanis's forces, killed a number Of their white
officers and appropriated n large quantity of
munitions. They had been advancing through
the great forest northeast Of stanley Falls TO
take possession of the town of Iado. on the
Nile. which. by agreement with Great Britain.
had come into possession of the state.
They had suffered much through the diff
culties Of the journey. and the scarcity
of food in the great tropical forest. and that is
undoubtedly the reason why. on their way
homeward. they travelled south along the
lakes. thus skirting the forest instead Of pass
ing through it. On the way they attacked
every State station they came across, and some
OF them were captured. and a considerable
number of white men were killed. There was
no means of notifying these frontier posts Of
the danger before them.
The rebels arrived at Kabam bare on the last
day OF last year. whereupon Baron Dhanis set
in motion from the Congo the large force which
be had collected to overwhelm the revolters.
The other day the, news was cabled from the
Congo that he had the enemy on the run. and
that they were moving. straight away from
hope to reach. So it seems that the true story
differs In all essentials from the sensational
yarn the English papers have been circulating.
When we remember that over forty steamboats,
have been placed on the upper Congo and that
these boats. with the shops and com mercial,

have cost many millions of dollars. It is easy to
see how serious a matter II Is to assert that all
this work Of years has been ruthlessly de-
stroyed. The stations destroyed'were all small
frontier posts.

Truth About somehRecen Happenings There
"A slight Mutiny Among the Troops.

For five or six weeks the British newspapers
have been telling startling stories about tho
overthrow OF Congo state posts on the upper
river by rebcllious soldiers, The papers said
that the Belgian officials with the men under
their command had been driven from all tho
posts for n thousand miles above Stanley
Pool. that all the Interests OF the State above
that point had been destroyed and the rem
nant Of white agents who escaped had fed

has impressed tho British press with the opin-

enterprise of King Leopold has fallen into
hopeless ruin and that some other nation
must take hold OF the vast region and savc
it from chaotic ruin. The Congo State has,

The Beers left British soil to establish
a free and independent government Of
their own. They are q reserved. UNI
progressive. and. II must be confessed.
not over intelligent people. but they are
fixed In their ideas. and their idiosyn-
crasies injured nobody. They wandered
of into q country peopled only by q
handful Of semi barbarians and wild
animals. They settled on vide tracts
Of land remote from each other. and Sc
cured that isolation and freedom which
they regard as the perfection OF happi-
ness.
Strangers came in 10 search for gold.
II was on the land OF the Beers. They
were given the privilege TO mine for II;
they were allowed to build = settlement
around the district. The miners were
glad to accept those privileges under
the laws which were then In force: and,
to use legal phrase. the law In force
at the time Of the making Of the con-
tract became a part OF II. No sooner
had the foreigners become intrenched
than they began TO devise means by
which they could have a stronger hold
upon local affairs, with the object Of
changing the laws. 80 that they might
have greater influence and secure larger
profits. 1t may be that the laws are
crude: possibly they are not what an
American would regard as judicious;
but that is matter for the Beers TO de-
termine The foreigners have made
millions upon millions Of dollars through
the privileges granted them by the
beers. and they have no reason TO COM
plain.
Great Britain was justified In asking
further favors for her people at the
hands Of the Transvaal government
