MURDEROUS NATIVES PUNISHED.
BRITISH AVENGE THE DEATH OF AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.
LIVEKPOOL, June 29.
A mail steamer from Sierra Leone, arrived here to-day, reports that the British expedition which was dispatched to the Sherboro district of Sierra Leone, west coast of Africa, owing to the massacre of American United Brotherhood missionaries by natives, fought its way to Kotufunk. The British force found the cremated bodies of the murdered missionaries. The expedition severely punished the rebellious natives, but the search for Mrs Cain, who fled to the bush at the time of the massacre, proved fruitless.
