M. Stanley's time, situated at Stanley Pool viz. , Kintama and Kinshasa are now no more, and the people have gone over to the French Congo. Besides the natives of the towns I have named, many people have left the main river and gone into the interior in order to escape the arbitrary demands of the State. Difficulties had arisen, too, between the State and the porters, and as the requisite number of carriers were not forthcoming detachments of soldiers were sent with orders to capture all the wo...men they could find. Several Christians were arrested in this manner. The natives and missionaries remonstrated, and presented a letter to the Governor, without getting any redress. The people were so enraged at these outrages that they took matters in their own hands. They killed three white men, and met and defeated the State forces in more than one pitched engagement. On the Lower Congo the natives have good Snider rifles, and their many conflicts with the State have taught them the arts of war.
