HOMEWARD SUEZ MAILS.
THE SURVIVORS FROM THE MIGNONETTE, AND THE MURDER OF THE BOY.
LIEUT. CAMERON'S TRADING STATION, WEST AFRICA. THE NATIVES HOSTILE TO GERMAN ANNEXATION. RECEPTION OF THE CZAR AT WARSAW. LOYAL DEMONSTRATIONS BY THE CITIZENS. ARRIVAL OF NORTHBROOK AND WOLSELEY IN EGYPT. RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA IN NAPLES. (Received September 10, 0.55 a.m.) London, September 9. The homeward mails via Suez and Briudisi, dated Melbourne, July 29, were delivered here yesterday. The survivors from the yacht Mignonette were brought up before the Police Court to-day, pending the decision of the Treasury as to the necessity for prosecuting them for the murder of the boy who was killed and eaten. Intelligence to hand from the west coast of Africa regarding the annexation of Lieut. Cameron's trading station at Bimbia, by the German Commissioner, Dr. Nachtigal, proves that the natives of the district are hostile to Germans, and refused to give allegiance to the imperial officers.
