TRAGEDY AT HONDURAS BAY.
London, April 19. Information has been received from British Honduras that the English missionary, the Rev. Mr Hobeon, his wife, and a lady companion of the latter, who resided on Ruatu Island, situated in Honduras Bay, have been brutally murdered by a native servant. The bodies of the victims were horribly mutilated. Advices from Zanzibar strengthen the suspicion that the German Emin relief expedition was undertaken with ulterior designs, and that the supposed relief is a subterfuge.
