AFRICAN EXPLORATION.
A Berlin despatch says : — Herr Schwarz lias been compelled to terminate his exploratiooe in the Cameroons country owing to the hostility of the natives. He has, however, concluded treaties with several powerful chiefs giving Germany authority to establish a protectorate over that part of the country governed by them. Fischer, the African explorer, reports that he has reached Wanga, north of Pangani, with a remnant of his expedition after a journey of extreme hardship lasting thirty-two days. The members of the expedition Buffered severely from hunger. Of the 230 natives who accompanied the party, fifty-seven died from disease or from wounds received in battle. Fischer has secured valuable botanical and ornithological collections. He will proceed to Zanzibar from Wanga.
