THE STANLEY EXPEDITION.
[rbuter's telegrams— copyright. DIFFICULTIES MET WITH. London, November 17. A telegram has been received at Brussels from the Congo which states that, owing to treachery on the part- of Tippoo Tib, or the opposition of unfriendly Arabs, it has been found impossible to send reinforcements up the Congo. The Arabs at Stanley Falls are armed with German rifles, and occupying a strongly entrenched position. Fighting has already taken place with the rear guard under Major Bartellot, who accompanied Stanley's expedition, and who was left with a force of 100 men m camp at Yambunga, at the foot of Aruwimi Rapids. Stanley, with the main expedition, consequently, is completely isolated.
