A wireless message from Bulqlo, New Guinea, states that 10 carriers, in charge of one police boy, returning from Bala* moa, were attacked by natives from Kabaul village. AVhen in the vicinity of the village, four carriers, who were ahead of the main body, were attaeked by natives: One hid in the long grass and Baw his companions killed with tomahawks. The survivor then escaped and gave a description of the murderers which coincides with that of 20 natives who escaped while being taken to Salamoa a few weeks ago, following a previous murder.
