Bushmea Roasted and Eaten by Kama
kas in New Britain.


VICTORIA. B. c., July 12.-Bushmen
from Cape Oxford. according to letter
received by the MiOwera from Sydney,
were killed and eaten by cannibals on
the coast Of New Britain. The German
government is taking steps to punish
the cannibals.
The natives who were made victims
had been trading and when they got
to the landing, the canoes they were
in were fired and at once sank. Many
We're killed and their bodies carried
ashore. But the most horrifying part
was when several men were captured
alive and dragged to the actual scene
OF the feast their bodies were to pro-
vide. They were clubbed and after
wards roasted or baked and eaten.
This tribe OF native ghouls is one Of
the most notorious in .he islands for
man-eating. They are not head hun
tiers in the Solomon Islands sense Of
the term, but bloOdthlrsty Kanakas.
who kill for food solely. The victims
were not all killed at once. some Of
them witnessing the killing Of their
comrades and the first part Of the can

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people in In
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nee
essary to maintain the human ma
chine in fair working condition. The
Ianguorous sloth OF the seashore proves
very seductive while 1t lasts. but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change Of air and surround
lngs, but also such stimulation Of
tagging energies as will provide Drawn
and vigor for the-return to labor. For
This they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam Of the mountain

mountain air.

LONDON. July l2.-Lord Roberts re-
ports to the war office, under date Of
Pretoria, July u, as follows:
"The enemy, having failed in their
atatck upon our right rear, as mention
ed in my telegram of July 9, made a
determined attack upon our right yes
terday, and, l regret TO say succeed
ed in capturing Nitral's Mex. which
was garrisoned By a squadron of Scots
guards with two guns Of the battery
of the Royal artillery and five COM
panies Of the Lincolnshire regiment.
"The enemy attacked in superior
numbers at dawn. and seizing hills
commanding the Mex. brought heavy
gun fire to bear upon the small gar
rison. ~
'Nitral's Mex is about IS miles from
here. near where the road crosses the
Crocodile river. It was held by US in
order to maintain road and telegraphic
communication with Rustenberg.
..The fighting lasted, more or less,
throughout the day, and Immediately
on receiving information this evening
of the enemy's strength. despatched
reinforcements from here under Col
onel Godfrey of the Kings Scotch bor-
derers. j
Before, however, they reached the
spot, the garrison had been overpow-
cred, the guns and a greater portion
Of the squadron of Grays had been
captured, owing to the horses being
shot: also about 30 men of the Lincoln
regiment. q
"The list of casualties has not been
received. but l think they are heavy.
simultaneously an attack was made
on our outposts near Hurdepoort, north
Of town. in whish the Seventh Dra-
goons were engaged. The regiment
was handled with considerable skill by
Lieutenant Colonel Low and kept the
enemy in check until they retired on
their supports and would probably have
suffered but a slight loss had not our
troops mistaken some Beers in the
bushes for our own men.

Great CONSERVATION in London
Over Losses in South Africa.
zOOBRTISH TAKEN PRISONERS
Casualties Heavy Old Story Of British la
eompeteney-NO Troops Can Be Spared
for China Lord Roberts Is
Seriously III.

LONDON. July Is.-Lord Roberts
dispatch reporting still another unfor-
tunate occurrence. throws serious
light upon the state of affairs in South
Africa. There has been some COM
ment recently regarding the virtual ab-
sence OF progress by the immense army
under the command Of Lord Roberts,
but few could have been found to be-
lieve that the scattered BOers were able
TO infiict such defeat so near Pre-
toria.
Instead Of the surrender Of all the
remaining Beers being imminent as re-
cent telegrams had hlnted. 1t seems
they have been making a concerted
attempt to surround or rccapture Pre-
toria, with so much success that in
the region which was supposed to be
paci6ed, and in which no attack was
expected. they succeeded in inhicting
serious defeat and capturing two
guns and some 200 men.
1t is evident that General Botha has
a considerable force. seeing that he
is able to press Lord Roberts lines at
half a dozen points around Pretoria.
Lord Roberts omits TO give the name
Of the commander concerned. giving
rise to a belief that the worst remains
to be told.
Even If the nlshap be not more grave
than his information at present i'm
plies. it proves that the situation is
still serious and that there Is nc pos
sibIlity Of any troops being spared from
South Africa for China. but on the con-
trary it will still take long time to
clear the country Of the Beers.
News has reached London that Lord
Roberts has been suffering from SER
icus bowel complaint, and that Lady
Roberts was hurriedly summoned to
Bloemfontein.

Athens, Ala, Nov. % "A party of

car from Birmingham to attend a wed.
ding at Louisville, KY, came to grief
today at various points along the line.
The wedding guests decided to have
some fun and soon after starting tele-
graphed to stations ahead that Viii.
liam J. Bryan was coming 10
his private car and would de-
liver speeches at the stops. The first
town on the list was New Decatur.
The recipients of the telegram suspec.
ted that the telegram was a fake and
so the populace turned out to meet the
bogus Bryan with their .rocke,s full Of
eggs. When the train stopped, one Of
the private Car people appeared on the
platform and stated that owing to
sudden indispositiop, Mr.. Bryan would
not be able to talk. This was the
signal for a volIey of eggs and the
speaker was covered from head to foot
before he could retreat.
New Decatur wired the good thing"
down the line and the would-be jokers
got eggs at every stop. The wedding
party included many prominent South
erners and was gotten up by F. B.
Ryder, of Birmingham. Ladies' in the
patty had their dresses ruined by eggs.
