Stanley, the Explorer.
Contradictory reports are being received! in regard to Henry M. Stanley. A despatch, from St. Thomas, received at London, August 4th, states that letters received afc Stanley Pool announce his arrival at Aruwhini Falls on June 18th, and that all the members were well, and making preparations for the overland march. Following this (and received at the Foreign Office, Augusfcl7th) comes one asfollows : — "Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, has been killed by natives after having been deserted by his escort." London despatches, same date, say neither the Foreign Office nor the Emm Bey Relief Committee had received this news. The officials at the Foreign Oiiice say that if it were true the British llesident at Zanzibar would oertainly have transmitted it. It is pronounced absolutely false by the officers of the Congo Free State Association in Brussels. The latest is a London despatch of August 17th confirming that from St. Thomas to the effect that letters were received the previous day from Gambruga, a village near the rapids of Aruwhini, reporting Stanley and party all well.
