ENGLISH TRAVELLER HAS A WEIRD

LONDON, Feb 27.-Some of the morn
ing papers-the Daily Man. the Daily
Chronicle, the Daily News and the Morn
ing Post-puhlish a remarkable interview
with f, s. Grogan, who has just returned
to England after a two years journey In
Africa.
MIR Grogan. who travelled over $500
miles. and represents himself TO be the
first European who has Travelled through
the continent from the Cape to Cairo,
says that after leaving Lake Tanganyika
with eight porters, he entered a region
OF active volcanoes, where he encountered
enormous lava streams, forming a YER
table sea, forty miles by sixty and hun
dred feet deep"
This whole region he found devastated,
forests and herds Of elephants being bur
ted in liquid fire
The neighboring country. he says, Is
occupied by some 5000 Belekas, ferocious
canninals from the Congo. who live by
man hunting His guides told him that
the country covered 1850 square miles.
has been until recently densely populated,
but that the people had been virtually
Killed and eaten by tho Belekas.
Everywhere he found evidences Of can
nibalistie practices. The very paths in
The jungle were marked by lines Of hu-
The streams were fun of decomposing
remnants q humanity half eaten and hor-
ribly mutiated.
These cannihais, according to Mr.. Gro
gans narrative. lived In grass cabins
He entered some OF these habitatlons and
witnessed horrible sights. He saw reauI-
drpns fun Of liquid, with floating human
skulls and the bodies Of infants"
on one occasion the savages attacked
Mr.. Grogan's party. but he opened upon
them with rife FIRE. This staggered tho
cannibais, as they had never before seen
gun or a white man Mr.. Grogar shot
two and the rest retreated.
He says the Baiekas are by no means
repulsive to look upon. Although small,
they are well built and have good fea-
lures. Men and women go about stark
naked and their long hair gives them .
peculiarly wild appearance.
Proceeding along the west coast OF Al
bert lake. Mr.. Grogsu found the natives
terrorized by raids Of the Belgians He
declares that he thoroughly investigated
this matter. and found that the Belgian
troops were in the habit OF crossing the
frontier, had shot large numbers of the in
habffants and had carried off young wom-
en- and cattle. tying up and burning the
old women. while white Belgian officers
were present He adds: From the north
of Albert lake to Lake Mweru the whole
country is in a state az chaos. II Is adj

ten the noncommissloned officers and
troops are of the lowest type OF natives
and they are almost invariably cannibals"
