Roaring and spitting death it raced

dropped their tools and bolted.
Many did not get fate for four of
the terdn's guns a,nel htlif a dozen
mitrailleuses hurled 31 perfect tor-

TR 0 E 0 VIM IN FREE STATE
•
The De Wet Uprising Has Spent
• Its Puree.
A despreech from Capoeown say,s
There is little doubt that the erlsie
in the Free State is over, Small
ecateered bodies of rebels are still
in the field, but they will graitleally
surrender, At ene time the poei-
dun looked eewieus. De Welt was
incluein(4 many to jOill 111.111, in the
belief that; there WOeld be no fight-
ing, it being repre.s.ented that the
whole Free State was tiedeg, and
the Government cesuld do nothing.
These illusions were shattered by
the fight in the Mushroom Valley
on November 12. The rebel losses
on that occasion were much
heavier then is ge,neitally know -n.
De Wet was eaughb napping; in
fact, he Wan aetualay in bed when
General Botha opened a fierce at-
tach. The eebels, completely dumb-
founded, are DOW like sheep with-
out a. thepherel, and will not face
the music again.
