STANLEY & EMIN BEY
(By Kluctiuc TEr,B<;n.-mi-—Ooi'ykight.)
London', December 17. The Government are doing their utmost to ascertain whether there is any truth in the statement that Emin Bey and Stanley have been captured by the Muhdi's adherents. If they are convinced that Osruan Digna's letter is not merely a false boast they propose to ascertain whether there is any hope of effecting their release by negotiations.
Mr John Moriey urged the Government to open nrgotiations with the Dervishes, for the purpose of saving Eniin Bey find Stanley. Sir J. Fergusson said it was doubtful whether Osman Digna's letter was authentic. The date appeared to he too recent, and it was improbable the captives had been taken to Khartoum. The Government were inclined to think it a clever device, and they did not consider there were sufficient grounds for negotiations at Suiikim.
