29. A aeml oin jlal db: patch from Idnbon nays the report that the Doers have crossed the Moz! iiiubbjiie frontier Is unfounded, Kf'ION KOP, NKW MAJl'HA HILU Splon Kop, the new Majitha hill, is a rugged mountain crest of aliout 4,000 feet elbvatlon, and neurly 14 miles south and a little west of Ladysmnti. General Duller described It a a "bar ren anil open slope, the ridges so deep that guns cannot be placed In them." It is ono of Innumerable knps or pla teau peaks lying between the Tugela tver and li as foriniJ able as a place of defense as the nrt eute.rn ridges of the Kock mountains would be. Old Majuba bill, where Sir Ceorgo Colley fell before the Boers In ISS1, is nearly 8.U00 feet high, but Splon Kop Is high enough to have Berved the purpose of the Doers well this Near It, crowned uy uoeyiuuenes, are half a doten other kops, a I higher than tho one General Warren scaled only ro be defeated. Some of them are 4.

.00 feet In elevation, others 4,800 feet and 4,900 feet. Guns mounted upon them properly depressed, would sweep Kop so that nothing living could remain UDon Its summit. Between tho kops are ragged ravines, affording fir. retreats for Boer riflemen, whose uuty it would be to harrass tho retrt aUng enemy. The rocks are rougn, uimcua to climb over and unprotected by tree or buah.

From the Tugela river to Dew drop, where the main body of the Uoer? await the coming of General Duller, is constant rise of land land such as Kngllsh soldiery never even saw In Af ghanistan, land that blisters with he rt bv day and dangerously chill at night. The total climb before the Eng lish to Luilysmlth Is over 4.000 feet, nnd the way Is strewn with hostile guns. It Is a superb spot for the use of ar tillery In resisting attack, and of this fact the Doers appear to be awurft They themselves have calculated, ne ordlngto pres dispatches, that If Gen eral Duller had 100,000 men at his com mand he might gain these kops and enter Ijidysmlth by the end of three months and at the sacrifice of over 10, 0U0 lives.

The murder created a great deal of excitement nt the time, particularly at there feemed to be absolutely no tvl dence that could lead to the Identification of either the murdered man or the murderer.

On Saturday afternoon the mvetery there were developments. The brothers of the dead man say the murderer'ij conscience would not let him reft, and he finally told his wife of the deed he had committed. Soon after he and his wife quarreled and sep arated. She kept the secret for some time, but finally told the brothers of the dead man of what had occurred and that the murder had been con fessed by her husband. Saturday the murdered man's broth ers came to Nichols Junction, and stated that they could Identify the body by a peculiarity of the teeth.

Thfe grave was dint ouen Saturday afternoon, hut the coffin was found to be partly full of water. The flesh of the murdered man had washed away until only the skeleton was left. It was decided that It would not be necessary to take up the whole body, so the lower Jaw was detached and brought up.
