ard was greet II 10y enormous and enthuei-
astc crowds
Replying 10 an address Of welcome, Mr..
Chamberlain said tho object Of his mission
was twofold. In the first place. he wished
to express in behalf Of the King and the
Government sympathy with fellow subjects
and desire to understand them better
ard cement their new relations
In the sec'nd place he was there to gain
informatirn which could only be gained
on the spot. he said. He deprecated the
notion that by the wave Of a magic wand
they could settle every difficulty. Time
would he needed to accomplish this end
he declared.
Mr.. Chamberlain was the guest Of honor
at luncheon here. He made a speech. in
the course OF which he said that two proud
kindred nations came to South Africa to
stay. Between such peoples rivalry was
inevitable. and the struggle for supremacy
had to be fought out. War was inevitable.
and the issue had decided that the British
must be paramount. The speaker paid q
fattering tribute TO the Beers, and declared
that they need feel no humiliation in defeat.

Let US do nothing to revive ancient
animosities. We must give them equality,
and ask them to take our hand frankly.
With the aid Of their leaders. especially
their religious leaders. we hope for recon-
citation"
He said that he had come to South Africa
in spirit Of Cancellation ard also in a spirit
Of frmneee. The sacrifices that had been
made must not be thrown away. He hoped
that self-goverament for the new colonies
would soon come, but there could be no
greater mistake than to hasten this pre-
maturely
Mr.. Chamberlain announced that the
offer Of Boer contingent to serve with
the British against the Mad Mullah in So

the journal of the expedition, latter
fourteen days Of incessant fatigue, toll
and danger, doubt and uncertainty, we
at length gained the river above the
Great Raft, contrary to the decided
opinion of every person who had any
knowledge of the difficulties we had to
encounter"
The distance from Natchitoches to
the point where the party entered Red
River, above the Great Raft, is two hun
dred and one miles by the meanders Of
their route. Above the Raft the river
is two hundred and thirty yards wide,
thirty-four feet deep, and has very
gentle current. The banks are ten or
twelve feet high. On the north side the
banks rise considerably at a little dis
tance, and are covered with heavy for.
ests of oak, poplar, and red cedar. At
the Coashatay village, about twenty
miles above the Great Raft, the COM
mander of the exploring party received
information, by an express, from the
chief of the principal village of the
Cadoes, which is thirty miles further
to the west, "that about three hundred
Spanish dragons, with four or five
hundred horses and mules, were en-
camped near that village, with the de-
sign to prevent the further progress of
the Americans" The Coashatay and
Cadoe Indians of this part of Red River
are an agricultural, half. civilized people,
like the Cherokees.
On the 1st of July messenger ar
rived at the encampment of the party,
near the Coashatay village, giving in
formation of the near approach of the
Cadoe chief, with forty young men and
warriors of his village. About noon
they made their appearance on the op-
posite bank of the river, and kept up,
for few minutes, an irregular firing
by way of salute. This was returned
both from the camp and the village in
manner highly gratifying to the Cadoe
party. The customary ceremonies used
in meeting Indians being past, an ex-
change of complimentary speeches fol-
lowed.
The Cadoe expressed great uneasiness
on account of the Spaniards who were
encamped near the village. Their com.
mandant, he said, had come to see him,
had taken him by the hand, and asked
him, if he loved the Americans; he
answered, he did not know what to say,
but if the Spaniards wished to fight the
Americans, they might go down to
Natchitoches, and fight them there but
they should not shed blood in his terri.
tories. He said he was pleased with
what he heard respecting the designs of
the exploring party he wished them to
20 on and see all his country and all his
neighbors. "You have far to 60, and

along the sides of the valley. Their de-
sign in leaving the river was to avoid
the singular obstruction to the naviga-
ton called the Great Raft, having been
informed by Mr.. Toolan, an old and re-
spected French inhabitant, that it
would be impossible for them to pass
through it. They had already en-
countered three similar distractions,
through which they had made their
way with extreme toll, by loosening and
floating out the logs and trunks of trees
that had been piled upon each other in
such numbers as to fill the bed of the
river from the bottom, usually at the
depth of thirty feet, and rising three or
four feet above the surface of the
water.
The Bayou Datche, as the part of the
river is called into which they entered,
conducted them to a beautiful lake
called Big Broth Lake Bistineau). 1t
is thus described by Mr.. Freeman
"This beautiful sheet of water extends,
from the place we first entered it, sew
enty miles in northwesterly direction;
and as far as we saw it, is beautifully
variegated with handsome clumps of
cypress trees thinly scattered in it; on
the right hand side it is bounded by
high land, which ascends from the sur.
face of the water, and at the distance of
one hundred yards is elevated about
forty feet, and covered with forests Of
black oak, hickory, dog wood, etc. soil
good second rate. It is bounded on the
left by low plain covered with cypress
trees and bushes. The depth of the
water is from two to six feet. High
water mark ten feet above the present
surface. 1t is called by the Indians
Big Broth, from the vast quantity of
froth seen floating on it's surface at high
water. The passage out of this lake is
by difficult communication, through
bayous, into another very handsome
lake of about one mile wide called Swan
Lake, and so on, through long crooked
bayous, lakes and swamps, full of dead
standing timber" Having made their
way for many days along this chain of
lakes, they were at length anxious to
return to the river. After searching
several days for a passage, and finding
their pilot incapable to direct them, they
resolved to wait while they could send
messengers by land to the Coashatay
village, and procure guide. The re-
turn of this messenger brought them
some information calculated to aid in
extricating themselves from the laby-
rinth of lakes in which they were be-
wildered, also the promise of the Coash-
atay chief, that he would join the party
himself, and conduct them to the river
This promise, however, it was not his
intention to fulfill. The party there
