RELIEF OF STANLEY.
MAJOR BARTTELOT A PRISONER. STANLEY'S WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN. [press association.] Zanzibar, August 24. Information has reached here that Major Barttelot left the river Aruwhini 011 May 10. He met with considerable hostility on the part of the natives, but struggled on. In attempting a rally Major Barttelot was taken prisoner, but effected his escape, and ultimately succeeded in reaching Stanley Falls. Here, however, he was again attacked by the natives and his camp surrounded, Major Barttelot and his party being taken prisoners. Mr. Ward, in charge of another wing, is pushing on with the intention of rescuing the prisoners. No news is forthcoming as to the whereabouts of Stanley, except that he had met with considerable opposition from the natives, and his forces were weakened by numerous encounters, and they had also suffered from disease.
