STANLEY BROUGHT DOWN.
The Great Explorer Fatally Wounded and
Surrounded by IloMile Natives.
A despatch from St. Paul de Loando, Afri¬
ca, says: “Several deserters from Stanley's
expedition of relief to Emin Pacha, have
reached Camp Yambunga. They state that
after traversing the Upper Aruwhimi Stan¬
ley struck into a rough mountainous coun¬
try covered vv.th dense forests. The natives,
who were excite l by reports spread by the
Arabs, disputed the passage of the expedition,
and there was continuous fighting. Stanley
was£» compelled ferely wounded by an arrow. He was
several times to construct camps in
order to repel attacks, and was obliged to use
the reserve provisions that were intended for
Emin Pacha. The .Soudanese attached to
the force had all died or disappeared. The
deserters estimate that the caravan bad lost
one-third of its men, and they say that many
of those remaining were ill, including the
Europeans. “Stanley wound
when the deserters was encamped He nursing surrounded his
left. was
by Emin hostiles and was unable to send news to
Barttelot or ha directly to Yambunga. Major where
l returned to Yambunga,
lie was awaiting the men that Mr. Ward was
collecting to form a powerful expedition to
go to the relief of Stanley.”
