THE STANLEY EXPEDITION.
London, November 1. Information has been received from Zaneibar that several African tribes, who have arrived there, give news of Stanley e expedition. They met the rear guard about the end of November, which was moving in the direction of Albert Nyanxa. At that time the main division under Stenlay himself was well ahead, although the leader had been proetrated for some three weeks by an attack of feyer. The advance of the expedition was largely impeded by dense forests and abounding marshes, and frequently the day's record gave only a mils and a quarter in the required direction. The party were short of provisions, and had been compelled to peize what tbey could from the tribes inhabiting the country through which they passed. When the traders left Stanley he expressed his infontinn to strike northward for a time, and then make for the east, expecting to reach Wadelai in January. Nov. 2. It is stated that the fatalities among Stanley s party have been two hundred. Information has been received that forty of Stanley's party were drowned in fording a river, and it is also stated that all his white comradeß had perished. Stanley had not reaohed Wadelai up to March last.
