(Received March 30, 5.5 p.m.) The central committee of the Nationalist Party in the Cape province passed a resolution deploring the bloodshed on the Rand and condemning lawlessness and violence, but expressing the opinion that the revolutionary elements had secured the upper hand owing to the partial attitude of the Government, and the feeling of despair amongst the strikers who realised that they had to conduct a hopeless battle against the combined power of the Government and the Chamber of Mines, assisted by the slavish majority in Parliament. ARRESTED STRIKERS FINED. CAPETOWN, March 29. Scores of arrests have been made and fines amounting from £l2 to £l5 infleted.
