LIVINGSTONE SAFE Herald Special Report from London. ‘Tho Great African Explorer Found and at Zanzibar with the Herald Search Expedition Commander. Grand Triumph of American Enterprise. ‘History of Livingstone’s Travel and of the Successful Search in Quest of Him. The following special despatch to the Hiznatp bas been received from our cor- respondent in the capital of Great Britain. f Lonvow, May 1, 1872. News has been received in the city from Bombay that Livingtone, the African explorer, fs safe with Stanley, the Chief of the Hzraup ‘Oorps of Search, at Zanzibar. Spectal History of the Livingstone Expe- dition, Ldvingstone left England in the year 1865, and ar- rived in Bombay on the 3d of January, 1866. He roased thence to Mikindany, on the East African Coast, and was at a point thirty miles up the Ruvume River when heard of in May, 1866, Passing up the Ruvuma into a still unknown country, he turned southward to round the extrem- ity of Lake Nyassa, and again facing northwestward @rrived at Bemba (the position of which he gives in 10 degrees 10 minutes south latitude, 31 degrees 50 minutes east longitude), where he remained during January and February, 1867, Ia the month of April, 1867, he discovered Lake Liemba, south of Tanganyika, and going westward thenoe found Lake Moero on the 8th of September. {In December, 1867, he was at the Cazembe’s town (8 degrees 40 minutes south, 28 degrees 20 minutes east). From this point he made an attempt to go north- ward in the country west of Tanganyika, intending ‘to cross the lake to Ujiji, but was brought to a standstill by the abundance of water which flooded the country, and returned to Cazembe’s in Febru- ary or March, 1868, Then he went south of Lake Bangweolo, whence he sent his last important letters in July, 1868, From this he appears to have repassed the ‘Cazembe’s town, and to have gone north to Ujijt along the eastern shore of Tanganyika, from the date of a short letter received from the traveller by Dr. Kirk at Zanzibar, dated Ujiji, May, 1860. In this he states that Tanganyika and Nyige Chowambe (Baker's Lake?) are “one water," showing that he had probably made an excursion to the north of Tanganyika before this time, and announced his intention of going to Man- yema, on the west of Tanganyika, where there was @ald to be a great lake to which the waters of the western drainage converge. In Jane, 1869, according to information received by Bishop Tozer, at Zanzibar, Livingstone was still at Uji. In June, 1870, Sheikh Said, writing from Unyan- yembe, gave the news that Dr, Livingstone had gone westward to Manimes (Manyema; this name appears in many forms in the reports), and was ex- peoted to return soon. Mr. Churchill, writing from Zanzibar on the 18th November, 1870, had no more | recent intelligence than this. » March 10, 1871, Dr, Kirk had letters from two Arab traders in Ujiji, announcing that Dr. Living- stone was at a place named Manakoso, in Menama | (Manyema), with Mohammed Bin Gharib, during October or November, 1870, “helpless, without Means and with few followers.” Of the last thirty-four letters which he had writ- ten to Great Rritain before June, 1869, not one came to hand. Me was, at that date, about to explore a lake which lies westward of Tanganyika, in the | ManSema country, in the hope of connecting it with the Nile. A report reached England at the end of 1870 that he was at Manakaso, waiting for supplies, | and unable to move. | THB NBW YORK HERALD SEARCH EXPRDITION. Suoh was the amount of English information con- ‘cern Livingstoue in the beginning of the year 1871, when the American HERALD special expedition for his aid was in preparation at Zanzibar, after the arrival of its commander from tho United States. ROUTE OF THE HERALD EXPLORER. On the ist of April, 1871, Mr. Stanley left \- ‘moyo, on the ‘nteat coast, and follow! ag ‘somewhat to northward of that taken b; Speke and Grant, arrived at Kivihdvd, on the basin of Thara, whence he dated his special report, the a on which the Arab post of Kazeh stands. This in the centre of the native district of Unyany- embe, more than two-thirds of the way from Zanzl- bar to Lake Tanganyika. At various points on his journey from the coast to this station (at the Unge- ipwapwa, Kusuri, Kubuga, the Ru’ a not far from Kazeh) Mr. Stanley obtained mation about Livingstone from Arab traders, each describing him as “an old man with a long beard, almost white,’ but giving such marks of identifica- tion as to leave no doubt as to his being the identi. | cal British traveller. One native told that he had seen him at GUL in 1870, and that he was then about to go to Marunga (south of Tanganyika) and Uutema (Manyema?).” This shows that Livingstone probably stayed at Ujiji until the beginning of 1870. Another knew that the white man was gone to Mantema, but had met with a bad accident, and would return to Ujiji when he had recovered; a third told that Living- stone’s men had deserted him. Others confirmed the fact that he had gone across the lake early in 1870, and that he had accompanied an Arab caravan to Lake Maniema, a much larger water than Tan- anyika. A caravan from Ukonogo (probably in the lanyema country) brought the news that he was dead. At Kazeh Mr. Stanley learned that Dr. Livingstone ‘was on the road to Ujiji from Lake Maniema, which lies fifteen camps (100 to 150 miles) south-southwest from the western shore of pentenyine. The Lake Maniema, west of Ugubba (Uguhha of Burton) with this icCation, falls into ite sition assigned by Liv- atone’s letters br Ti Take Ulenge, ‘a lake with many islands,” and thus it is probable that these are one and the same lake. From the above it seems clear that Dr. Living- stone crossed the Lake Tanganyika, and proceeded to Manyema in the beginning of 1870, probably in May, when the dry season begins; remained in the neighborhood of ema in an apparently desti- tute condition until before July, 1871, when Mr. | Stanley, the commander of the HeRaLD expedition, heard mee Kazeh that he was on his way back to Ui. ie. Stanley advanced towards Ujijt with supplies to meet Livingstone coming from the west, and ex- pected to arrive there in August, 1871, but at the moment he was about to proceed vhf broke out between the Arabs and the natives a day's journey westward of Kazeh, and Mr. Stanley was abandoned by the Arabs; four of his men were killed, and he himself, weak and ill from fever, barely escaped with his life, This information, received at Zanzibar in Sep- tomber, 1871, was the latest forwarded to England from Africa on the subject of Livingstone’s where- aboute pA bhisea to receipt of the HERALD special telegram from Bombay, by way of London Boi to- ges the joyous termination of the world-wide aatet which hae been felt during 80 many years regarding the traveller. ie ee eS TO FIND THE RXPLORER, it mus edort to dnd Livingstone was tame, and, for years, apiritiess.

The following special despatch has been re- ceived from the Heraxp correspondent at the headquarters of Trevino’s army:— Revonutionary Camp, } Frve Mixes rrom Maramoxos, Mexico, Aran, 30, 1872. A courier arrived here from the interior to day with despatches stating that General Por- firio Diaz is alive and well, He has reappeared- and occupied Guadalajara with a large force. The State of Guanajuntgis in a state of in- surrection and completely under the control of the revolutionists. The Juarez authorities have been driven away; murder and robbery go unpunished, and the worst kind of anarchy prevails. ROCHA PURSUED BY DONATO GUERRA, General Rocha, with his government force, has evacuated Durango, and is now marching on Jalisco. A large revolutionary force, un- der General Donato Guerra, is following him. A detachment of Guerra’s army, commanded by General Borrego, has reoccupied Durango and captured immense supplies and ammuni- tion trains. FIRE ON MATAMOROS, The movements of this (Trovifio’s) army are slow, on account of the poor condition of the mules and horses, which has delayed the artillery and for several days condemned the revolutionists to inactivity. The siege guns are in wagons, and will be mounted to-night. By to-morrow all the guns will be in position, when the revolutionists expect to open fire on Matamoros. There are no signs of any movement by the revolutionista against Bagdad, though most of their cavalry is absent on some expedition, but its destination is known only to a few.

The steamer Tobasco, from Tampico, ar- rived to-day at Bagdad. She landed a rein- forcement of 300 government troops, two guns and $60,000 for the defenders of Matamoros, The ‘troops sinried hither at two o'clock by land. General Cortina’s cavalry, with 300 in- fantry, have gone to their assistance in order to enable them to reach this city, as it was under- stood that the revolutionists would attempt to cut them off. There are no signs yetof the revolutionists Indeed, it is stated that General Trevifio’s main force has not advanced since yesterday, and is still some | miles above the city. Slight skirmishing is reported to be going on between the advance | guard of the revolutionists and the force com- | manded by Cortina. Protest of the American Consul at Mata- moros Against the Display of the Black Flag. MATAMOROS, April 30, 1872, The black flag being still displayed from the forti- fications around the city, the United States Consul has represented to General Cevallos that should the besieging forces take the city the exhibition of such a flag might be used as a pretext by the revolution- ists to show no quarter to the persons and property of foreigners who are compelled to remain insid the city on account of their business tnterests, and solicited him to withdraw it.

Gen. | Cevallos said these flags had been raised by the volunteers merely a8 an indication to the enemy that they would defend the place to the last ex- tremity, and that the rebels will understand them to mean nothing more, They were often used for this parpose in Mexico, but to allay appreliension they would be taken down, ae they had been raised | without his authority. | Several hundred of government reinforcements | were landed .at the mouth of the Rio Grande yester- | day, and have reached the city, with several pieces of artillery and munitions of war. General Treyifio’s army is still several miles above | here, apparently inactive, with the exception of Slight skirmishes between the advance cavalry and the scouts. It is now stated that the revoluttonists are wait- ing for General Nararyo with reinforcements, which will raise the besieger’s army to about five thou- sand, and that the attack will not be made until the 6th inst, SPAIN.

The eruption of Vesuvius is abating in violence, steadily and continuously, It is thought that the present action of the volcano will shortly cease. The inhabitants of several villages, situated at the base of the mountain, who fled from their homes at the approach of the lava, have returned and re- sumed their daily work.

SRE aa THE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, The Withdrawal of the Claims Not Contem- plated by the United States, Wasuinaron, May 1, 1872, The United States Government's Position on the Consequential Damage Ques- tion. As misapprehension exists in relation to the case of the United States before the ‘Tribunal at Geneva, and as the community has been excited on both sides of the Atlantic with sensational reports that the government of the United States has acceded to the demand of Great Britain for the withdrawal Of the claim for indirect damages, pains have been taken to make inquiry on the subject in well informed ctroles. It may be asserted with confidence that nothing could be further from the fact than the stories which have excited the public. The presentation of the national, or so-called indirect damages, has been made by the United States at every proper stage of the proceedings, They stand in the formal case presented at Geneva in December. They have not been withdrawn and will not be withdrawn. They were first presented to the notice of Great Britain by Mr. Adams under directions from Mr. Seward. During the excitement and the irritation caused by the conduct of Great Britain pending the rebellion they wore the frequent subject of com- Plaint on the part of the government of the United States. When the Johnson-Clarendon Treaty failed they were found to be a prominent topic of the leading speech against the ratification of the treaty, and at once furnished to the public press on both sides of the ocean almost the sole consideration in connection with the difference between the two governments. When the Joint High Commission met they were formally presented by the American Commissioners to their British associates as part of the ‘American complaint, and there is authority for the assertion that from the moment of their presentation to the signing of the treaty they were never challenged or excepted to by the British Commissioners, but were set forth in the protocol signed within four days of the date of the treaty, as if they had been presented as part of the complaint of the American government, If any one is at fault for their remaining in the case itis the British Commissioners, who sat for two months iu the Joint High Commission with the written presentation of these claims before them and never raised a word against their admissibility, or the British Ministers, to whom the full proceed- ings of the Joint High Commission were daily tele- graphed, but who remained silent. These claims are presented, in the case laid before the Geneva Tribunal in December last on the part of the United States, in the same way as they were ‘pre- sented before the Joint High Commission— not, as were the claims for property de- stroyed, accompanied with 9 demand for payment, but as part of the case which the United States haa the right to lay before the tribunal for its equitable | consideration. ‘The government of the United | States is of opinion that they are properly within the competency of the tribunal and within the sub- mission intended by the treaty. Whether they be of the class of claims for which one nation is liable to make pecuniary compensation to another is a question which has lately elicited the opinion of | some of the ablest writers on international law in Europe as well as in this country. The fact above | alluded to, that in the American “case” they are not accompanied with a demand for payment, Is evi- dence that the American government has always held them to be of # different nature, and perhaps of more questionable legal admissibility than those which are called “direct” claims, while their historic | association with the Alabama controversy and the | prominence they had acquired imposed the neces- | sity of their presentation to the Geneva Tribunal, | in order to prevent their being brought up here- It is in the interest of both governments that | these “claims,” which the British Commissioners | Deglected tg eliminate from the protoepl, of to ex- | clude from the treaty, should be disposed of in some | way. This is what the government of the United , Britain from the presentation of like complainta, id case of any omiasion on their part to observe neutral obligations, in the event of Great Dritaa being belligerent while they are neutral. H Should Great Britain propose to stipulate that, (a the event last contemplated, she make no com. plaints or claims against the United States for ang, indirect, remote or consequential Lnj or resulting from a failure to observe their meutrat dutios, the United States, by accepting the. suggc#+ tion, would gain an important concession, In consideration thereof the United States very well agree to say that they will refrain pressing for pecuniary compensation for ¢he tndt* rect claims before the Geneva Tribunal, les the tribunal to make such expression of opin-| fon as it may think proper om that ene. The apprehension of Great Britain of ag ae in moneyed damaged on account of these 4 would then be relieved, and the United States would disclaim asking for any moneyed award, which they have not asked from the tribumal and which their people do not expect or desire. If by such agreement the two nations could be brought into accord on the subject of the submission the arbitration could proceed. ' It ls not known whether auch agreement will be or can be reached. The United States avo mado ne Proposals in the premises, but itis believed that. am arrangement of the nature indicated, if pro- posed by Great Britain, might be accepted by the: United States, and that it would be hondsable to both nations, : This, beyond doubt, is the extent of what the President or any of his advisers have thought poe: sible or have had in contemplation. The Liberation of Dr. Houard Demanded of Spain—Diplomatio Relations To Be Suspended if Not Complied With. The adoption, by the House of Representatives om Friday last, of the resolution that the President. should promptly demand the unconditional release of Dr. John Emilio Houard and the restoration of his property, which has been confiscated to the use of the Spanish government, {# construed as re- quiring the President to exercise his authority im presenting the demand without delay. Minister Sickles is, therefore, instructed, on his @rrival at Madrid, to demand his passports, and to notify the Spanish government that until it is prepared to strictly fulfil all obligations, friendly relations be- tween the United States and Spain must cease. This action springs from the fact that the State De- partment is now convinced that Dr, Houard is am American citizen, and the determination of the President that Spain shall not longer disregard the rights of Americans in Cuba. By this action {t is not. intended entirely to sever all our relationg with Spain, but practically it amounts to the same thing. The Secretary of Legation will be left at Madrid ia charge of the office; but his position can be best understood from the fact that he will not be Chargé d’Affaires, but only a secretary acting tem- porarily in charge of the affairs of the mission, with- out designated authority. He will not have charge of affairs, but only of the property of the Legation, though he may be made # medium of communication between the two govera- ments. The withdrawal of the Spanish Minister at Washington follows a8 a matter of course. This i regarded as the first step toward @ prac- tical solution of the Spanish question. The course of the proceeding will be some- thing like this. General Sickles, on hia arrival at Madrid, unless otherwise ordered by telegram, will demand the immediate release of Dr. Houard and the restoration of his propertyt, the question of indemnity being reserved, ask for hia passports and return home, The second step can- not be determined till after the resnlt of the first is seen, The determination to take this action was arrived at soon after the passage of the House | resolution, and General Sickles’ instructions were forwarded to him by special messenger, and reached him on Saturday, just before his departure from New York. The State Departmentis very reticent on the subject, but the President has always beem in favor of positive action and this is the result of his determination. House Night Session—Territorios, The House held a session to-night for the consid- eration of the report from the Committee on Terrt-. tories, but as a quorum was not present no busl- ness of importance was transacted. When the bills regarding the Indian Territory and the bill to es- tablish the Territory of Okaloma, in which severat land-grab steals lie concealed, were reached, objec- tion was made to their consideration and they went over, THE DOMINION OF CANADA. The New Governor General About to Sail for New York—His Yacht to Arrive Subsequently. \ Lonpow, May 1, 1878, His Excellency the Right Honorable Lord Dufferin, States has been endeavoring to accomplish. The recent discussion of these claims by the pub- lic press of this country, and intelligent public sen- | timent as ascertained through other channels of | information, have exhibited an almost if not en- | tirely unanimous expression of opinion that the | people of this country attach no importance what-“ ever to any possible pecuniary award on account of this class of claims. Nearly every leading journal of the country has disclaimed the expectation or desire ofany moneyed compensation for the indirect losses, and yet it is the apprehension of some enormous mulcting in damages—a payment heavier than that imposed by victorious Germany on conquered France—which has chiefly excited the British mind tn connection with this branch of the American “case."’ The opinion of the most eminent continental publicists and jurists has been expressed, with a large preponder- ance in favor of the competency of the Tribunal of Arbitration to pass upon the questions which the United States have proposed to submit. It is due to candor to state that these eminent writers do | not thereby express themselves in favor of the lia- bility of a nation for indirect damages. } ‘The claims having been thus presented, the Brit- | ish government, as expressed in the Queen's speech, declares itaclf of opinion that these claims are not within the province of the tribunal. The United States has already manifested its opinion | that they are within the province of the tribunal | hy presenting them, as above stated, in its case. | Great Britain intimates that she may not proceed with the arbitration unless they are withdrawn, Some Americans call upon their government to | withdraw, thinking it to be magnanimous, others | thinking it to be wise. To ail such, Mr. Disraell, in his speech at Manchester, with a just appreciation of the case, has given this answer :—-‘It is impossible for the United States to withdraw their claim." If the British government maintains its attitude, the | two nations are at a dead lock. Is the treaty, then, ; with its hopeful promises and its settlement of various questions of difference, to be abandoned? , ‘The President thinks not, at least, not without ex- | hausting every effort consistent with the honor and dignity of the government. He has not with- | drawn any part of the case, He does not contem- | plate any such withdrawal), and has made no pro- posal for such withdrawal. In the correspondence Which has taken place with the British govern- | ment on the subject the Secretary of State has most strenuously insisted on the } propriety and the right of this government to present its own case in it# own way, without dictation or suggestion from the opposite party. He insists that the Indirect claims have not been estimated, and are properly included in the sub- mission to the Geneva Triounal. The problem now presented is to find a mode of reconciling the | antagonistic positions of the two governments in this incidental p oint respecting a class of claims for | which the party compiatnant, the people of the | United States, have shown themselves indifferent | as to the recovery of damages, but which involve | questions of Jaw of vast importance to them and to other nations which expect to be neutrals a | larger part of the time rather than belligerents, 1 Great Britain, by her acts during the war, has put _ herself in a position to have the question tried upon her, and the United States do not think it Wise to abandon the qnestion without either @ decision or | an egreement and stipulation which will relieve the United States in the future, and before incurring ra a | peerage in 1841. | Royal the newly appointed Governor General of the Do- | minion of Canada, will sail for New York on the 11th of June. He will send his yacht to America, and will stop awhile in New York, where it is probable he wilt compete in races with some of the vessels of the New York Yacht Club. Sketch of Lord Dufferin.
