It will start from here early next mouth. Though much of tho equipments equip-ments of the party have been arranged for in London tho expedition had its birth in Sweden and will bo named by Swedes. Tho leader of the new crusade cru-sade is Nils Joham Zachrissen. His plan is to proceed from Mozambique to to the northeast of lake Tangauqika in the neighborhood of Uppi aud thence to tho Victoria Nyanza, erecting on the way a series of stations as a means of suppressing the slave trade. Zachrissen Zachris-sen has engaged a body of a hundred Swedish artisans, who have bound themselves them-selves to accompany him on a three-years' three-years' expedition. In addition to the Swedes, some 1,500 native carriers will be required. The stations which they will erect will bo placed in a state of defense, de-fense, garrisoned by natives under command com-mand of Europeans, and ready as places of refuge for tribes in case of raids made upon them by the slavers. Every station sta-tion will also be made a center of commerce com-merce with the natives. It is estimated that a sum of $200,000 will be required to finance tho undertaking. The quarter quar-ter part of this amount has been already subscribed and tho balance, when required, re-quired, will be forthcoming. a |
