London, March 30. The reportB that

tended for Boor consumption, as the
recent movement of troopB and other in
dicutioiiB point to preparation) being
well advanced for n forward movement.
Tlie entire Hilenee of cables this morn'
I ni? ia remrded us significant.
The fact that the Boer telegrams an
nouiicing the bombardment of Mafeking
Monday or Tuesday do not claim any
ena'i'BB 'ih uceepted with proof that they
met with none and hopes are entertained
that it may prove to have been the final
effort to rod u co the place before raising
the eiegu. It is now suggested that the
apparent inactivity of the British at
Warronton is merely designed to impress
the Hours with the notion that tbey are
checking the Mafeking relief column,
which in reality is advancing by a west
ward dutotir.
Color iH lent to this view by the an
nouncement that a column of 3000
mounted troops commanded by Colonel
Drumniond and accompanied by three
butteries, u pontoon train and several
wagons of ammunition, passed Earkley
weal March 26 on an extensive march,
the object of which is a strict secret.

New Youk, March 110. A dispatch to
tlie Herald from Ludysmith says : The
BiKgarsberg rango, where the Boers have
taken up their new position, is a spur of
the Drakensbirrg range. It is high
toward the south and forms a natural
strategical barrier to General Buller's ad
vance. The weakness of this position
lies in its extent. There is no doubt
that General Buller will find an opening
through which be can reach the higher
plateau, and valuable coal fields around
Dundee, thus reopening the Natal
minus.
Strong Boer outposts are hovering in
the vicinity of WessePs Nek and Allen's

SroEANE, March 30. George Webster
was hanged here this morning for tbe
murder of Mrs. Lisa Aspland, in May,
1897. Tho guilty man made no state
ment. His neck was broken by the fall.
George Webster was convicted of naur
der in tbe Erst degree. He was a farm
laborer and band for several years been
employed on farms in different portions
of Spokane county. In 1896 he had
been on the farm of the husband of tbe
deceased Lisa C. Aspland ; stayed there
all night; in the evening assisted the
woman in milking some cows, and in
tbe morning rendered her husband like
service.
The Aspland family lived about four
miles northwest of Cheney, Spokane
county. About Midnight May 7, 1897,
tbe crime woscommlteed. Webster had
been drinking in the town of Cheney
the night before, and when ordered to
leave the place about 7 o'clock In the
evening by the town constable, he was
under the influence of liquor. Webster
went to the farmhouse of Adrew Aspland
and was admitted. He said he was
looking for work and Aspland hired
him. About 11 o'clock the family and
Webster retired for tbe night. The
woman and two little girls, aged 13 and
11 years, occupied a bed in the kitchen.
Aspland, WebBter and a boy of 11 years
occupied a bedroom adjoining the parlor.
Webster got up and went through the
kitchen for a drink of water. On re
turning he stopped and caught or
squeezed the arm of one of the little
girls, who cried out and was frightened.
Mrs, Aspland told Webster to leave the
room, and be retired to tbe bed he bad
left.
Mrs. Aspland, after this occurrence,
arose and locked the Kitchen doors.
Webster made a second attempt to enter
tbe kitchen, but found the doors locked.
He then demanded his ,hat and coat.
Mrs. Aspland told him to go hack to
bed and be could get them in the morn
ing. He then went around to a window
of the kitchen, lowered it and demanded
bis hat and coat eaying be would go
back to Cheney. Tbe woman placed
bis bat on tbe handle of the broom and
passed it out to him. As she wa6 in the
act of passing the coat out to him Web
ster shot through the window with a
revolver, the ball striking Mrs. Aspland
in tbe abdomen fatally wounding her.
Webster then returned to his bed and
remained there until arreBted.
Webster was found guilty of murder
in the first degree by tbe superior court
in September 1897. The case was carried
to the United States supreme court, but
the appeal was dismissed.

benefit and entire relief in a very short
time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh
joint,, almost prostrating him with severe
pain, which was relieved by two appli
