REVOLT OVER.

RUSH BACK TO RAND MINE£ THE WHITE SOUTH AFRICA OUT. (By Cable—Pi<n» Awwi»trcn~>C<>T>yri<kM {Australian «ad N.2. Cable Assoeistiob.) CAPE TOWN, March 17. ' Troops found bombs and detonator* skilfully concealed as traps on the wteircaws ia buildings captured in Fordsburg on Wednesday. A ntiin captnwl yesterday is believed to be mponsibte for t-ij© local manufacture of tho deadly bombs used agsinst the beleaguered police. A factory was dbeorotcd at his house at Nowlands. In a tribute to tho rapidity of the mobilisation of the Boers it is pointed out that within u few hours of th» Government's call ten thousand burgher* from tho countryside arrived en the Rand. It transpires that the Ijtedfl ptowl seventy captured police :in tie tup storey of tho Market Buildings at Fordsburs, so that, if the buildinpi were bombed, the police would be exposed. The newß leaked out in time to avoid bombing. Tho engine-drivers and mine-workers have called off tho strike, thus obviating the necessity for a ballot. This practically onds the strike, a* the mine-workers' vras the principal union / affected. Tlio mines are rushed with applications for employment, and «nv» ployers nro getting mora than they can employ. Among those ohorsed with treason are Nicholas, ft metnwjr of tlie town council, and another member who la chairman of the Public Health Committee, has been arrested. Thompson, acting-presidenii of tho Industrial Federation, has also been nriested. Tributes aro paid to tho splendid behaviour of tho burgher forces in suppressing tho revolution. In thanking tho burgher forces on parade yesterday, Colonel Menta, Minister of fib* fence, said people had a right to stand up in defence of thoir rights, but Hot to shoot policemen end tviilk about with clubs and kill everybody. He did sot agree with thorn that th(>y stood for A white Soutii Africa. Their cbUdroa were going to inherit a whit® Borjth. Africa, but not one composed of the class of peopk responsible for Wn* cont disturbances. ,j General Brink said that person* frow other countries had cornel and haii toowii poison among the Moplo of South Africa, but he trusted i[he lesson tbsgr 'had now learrit would nisvet bo forgot* ten. What had been dnbowould Mow that such a state of affairs would never again bo toleirated,
