Proof That Boers Murdered English
 Wounded.

:. London. July 27.-The Daily, Mall pub fishes Lord Kitcheaers official report re- as follows:
 Lieutenant w. S. B. Dun has given me the following information. On the day after the fight at Vlakfontein, May 29, Lieutenant Hearn told him that, while lying on the ground wounded, he saw about twenty yards from him Lieutenant Spring and Sergeant Findlay, both slig nt- ly wounded They were binding up each others wounds. when a young Boer. with a pink puggaree around his hat, came up and shot both dead. Lieutenant Tearn lay quite still. The Boers thinking him dead. contented themselves with taking his spurs and leggings. Lieutenant ,Hearn also said that others of our 'vound- ed were shot by Boers.
 Lieutenant Dun collected the testimony of eight privates and non-commissiUned officers. who affirmed that they saw Boers shoot out wounded.
 Several of the men saw a Boer, evil dently some one in authority, trying to stop his men from shooting our wounded" :"
 The foregoing is taken from Lord KItch- ener's first mail report on the subject. He has wired that he would supplement it by sworn testimony.

RAINS IN CORN BELT.
Generally Light, But Situation is
 yny1rouad

Washington, July 26-The past twenty four hours probably have been the most favorable to the States of the corn belt since the existing hot wave began nearly forty days ago. Rains, generally light in amount have fallen in Western Kan sas. Western Nebraska. Southwestern Missouri. Central Iowa and Arkansas. and a little in Oklahoma, and the prospects seem, to be faye; able for coordination tt crrow of more nunaerous showers in these States and Territories Sunday showers are looked for in Northern Illi- nois and Northern Indiana. Stit there has been no general rain. of which the crop stands in so much need. and there are no immediate prospects of any.
 On the whole. the Weather Bureau of ficiaIs here regard the situation as some- what improved. Incidental to the rains the temperatures officially reported today were somewhat lower than yesterday. However they ranged from 92 to 100 in the corn belt. Conditions will remain practically the same in the drought sec- ton during Saturday and Sunday. and the weather will continue very hot with the possibility of relief from scattered thunderstorms.
