Moray, according 10 his story, re-
fused 10 accept such a bargain. on
which NJ. LOthaire maintained his first
decision and sent Moray 10 be judged
by the authorities Of Bona.
M. Lothaire insists that all these
stories are lies and calumny and that
he hopes soon that justice VIII be done

agent, who so he aiiirms. acted as he
has done only 10 revenge himself upon

Even admitting that the accusations
OF Moray and the accusations formu-
lated by another agent NJ. LacrolN,
who also was prosecuted for similar
acts. are exaggerated. it was not the
less true that IL seems TO be an estab-
lished fact today that the revolt OF the

men. NM Wynants and Rabe. was the
result Of the frghtful treatment Of the

foreign affairs answered that the laws
Of the state were furnishing the crimes

satisfied the public who. upon the
declaration Of former magistrates OF the
Congo, fear that once more the sub
ordinates. who have acted under the or
ders Of the chiefs. will alone be pun
ished. while the latter will continue TO
wear the aureole Of innocence.
Even admitting that the guilty are
punished, the Belgian nation, whose
king is the sovereign of the Congo; the
Belgian nation which has helped the
work by It's supplies. aud has allowed
the officers Of its army 10 so 20 Afiica,

afterward we came back to the white
man. He asked US how we had got
on. We answered him that we had
killed the men, but that we had not
mutilated them. The white man lmela'
was angry and told the sergeant Mon
gala that he was a coward and that
n he did not bring back the heads, the
hands and the other organs Of those
he had killed he would take away his
rank OF sergeant from him.
The sergeant Mongolia turned about
with two soldiers and Went into the

them and brought back their members
to the white man who ordered them TO
