The Evening Star. PUBLISHED DAILY AT FOUR O'CLOCK P.M. Resurrexi. MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1874.
With reference to the letter and ;it» translation which appear in the morning papei from Tarapipipi, it will be noticed that the tenor of the letter is limply explanatory and intended to exculpate Mr. Adlam from the charge of having mischievously interfered to bring about a difficulty between the natives and Europeans. This, we are informed, is the object of Tarapipipi, who, after the first letter, was "reasoned with," and very soon consented to withdraw his opposition. There has really been no stoppage to the navigation, and it would appear that a, great deal more has been made of the matter 1 than there was any necessity for. Any apprehensions that may still exist as to the river being closed may be dispelled; although it is evident that the discrepancies between the statements of Major George, Tarapipipi, and Mr. Adlam would admit of further explanation. Whoever has been in fault, a needless alarm has been excited —a great deal made out of what was really a very trifling matter
