Stanley, the African explorer, has again been heard of. According
to a telegram from Zanzibar, he was at 1Jruri, the south-east corner of the Victoria Nyanza, on December 2nd, a date which Mr. F. de Winton believes to be a mistake for February 2nd. Emin Pasha was at the same time at Unyara, the north-east corner of the lake. It is believed that Stanley rejoined Emin Pasha at Wadelai, induced him to leave his province with his followers, and marched with him to Unyara. Finding supplies deficient, he went on to Ururi, where large stores had been collected, and with these rejoined Emin, with whom, it is imagined, perhaps erroneously, he would force his way to Zanzibar. He had lost many men from sickness and privation, but would easily recruit his force from among Emin Pasha's followers, who must still be counted by the thousand. If all has gone well with him, he should approach the coast in July; and once there, he will be in touch with civilisation, after the most marvellous march on record.
