CANNIBALS IN CONGO.
“ Human Leopards ” to Die for Murders. LONDON, November 24. Eight “ human leopards." says the Brussels correspondent of ‘‘The Times,” have been sentenced to death, two to 20 years in gaol and six others to lesser terms. They had been convicted of murders followed by feasts on human flesh in the Belgian Congo.

The murders, of which there have been eighty-five since 1928, were due toa vendetta.
