More Natives to be Executed.
How Inspector Hunt was Murdered. (Received April 4, at 8.24 a.m.)
PIETERMARITZBURG, April 3. After the executions, Colonel Royston addressed the chiefs present, driving home the lesson that the terrible scene they had witnessed was a warning that if further trouble occurred all would-be punished for disobedience to the supreme chief. Subsequently a well-attended meeting of whites was held to demand the removal of Mr Gibson, a magistrate in Zululand, owing to his attitude to the native question and opposition to the executions. Majongwe, a head man, and Inspector Hunt's murderers are ill m gaol, with, two other offenders. Their sentences have been deferred. Thirteen other natives have been condemned to "death for offences in the southern part of the colony. Majongwe took Inspector Hunt's rifle and revolver and all the others stabbed him and Trooper Armstrong while they were still alive. LONDON, April 3. The Times says the Privy Council's judgment on the appeal made by Mr Jellicoe is a severe, if unconscious, irouy on the House of Commons proceedings. The Times emphasises the fact that all the most authoritative Commonwealth newspapers condemn the Government's interference in Natal.
