PRISONERS RELEASED.
RAND REVOLUTIONARIES. SMUTS FUBUCLY THANKED. CAPETOWN, May 18. The nine Rand revolution prisoners have been released. They thanked the Prime Minister (General Smuts) publicly for releasing them. The two native prisoners are to be released on Monday. (Eeuter.) The release of these nine white political prisoners was to be in honour of the visit of the Prince of Wales, and the fact that ho did not visit Africa as intended has been due to the elections, but has not affected the intention of the Government. Some of the men who are now released were sentenced to death for complicity in the Hand riots. The natives who are to be released were connected with some mysterious organisation (instituted, of course, by white people), called "the Israelites," at Bulhoek.
