THE BUSH VELDT CARBINEERS.
LONDON, April 8.
A Liverpool man, formerly a Bush .Veldt Carbineer, declares that Lieutenant Morant shot and killed Van Buren on the open veldt while speaking to him about the murders, and then reported he had been gallantly killed in action. The officers and men of the Carbineers represented every nationality. The missionary Heese starced to report about the eight Speloken murders, and was shot. The murders totalled between 30 and 40. In some instances the motive was robbery, others were committed out of sh-jer recklessness through drink. Neither officers nor men were ever Bhorb of whiaky.
