BOERS IN REVOLT IN SOUTHAFRIC A Rebels Are Led by Veteran or Transvaal War. MARTIAL LAwTpROGLAIMEI) Britain Hears That Majority'of Boers of Her Southern Cape Provinces Aie Loyal—Col. Solomon G. Maritz* Heads Seceders —Germany's Hand Is Seen. Cape Town, via London. Oct. 14. A serious revolt has broken out in the northv.t t of the Cape provinces and Lord L xton. governor general of the unior ha. proclaimed martial law through; .it every part of the ter ritcry The rebel ; ae led by Col. Solomon G Maritz wlu: f< ught in the Beer war and who has been military commandant of the northwest Cape provinces. Dissatisfaction in that section has been marked for some time but an outbreak was avoided until the South African government determined to dupC-.fc^'^*Colonel Maritz. He sent a d fijtlft answer to the communication notifying him of the decision, arrested the loyal members of his command, joined the remainder to German forces and took the field for war. The bait that caught the Dutch soldiers and citizens in the northwest was furnished by Germany, in the shape of a promise to aid in the establishment, of a free republic, built up on the ruins of the British, dependency General Botha, premier of the Union, former Boer leader and now commander of the Union forces which he is to lead against German Southwest Africa, is expected to take severe measures to suppress the rebellion. Dutch citizens here insist that the majority of the Boers are adherents of Great Britain in the present war and that Maritz and his followers have been blinded by German praise and inducements. Lord Buxton’s proclamation which was published Monday in the Gazette extraordinary, to take effect Monday, provides for the administration of all the Cape provinces as if a state of war existed. Britain Is Aroused. London, Oct. 14. —TJntil Tuesday Great Britain had been able to concentrate all her attention and energies upon the prosecution of war by land and sea upon Germany and Austria. There was not a discordant note in the chorus of sympathy and support which arose from every part of the empire and was expressed in great gifts of men, money and supplies from Canada, India, Australia from Africa. For this reason the announcement IjV the official news bureau that a portion of the Dutch population in the (’ape colonies had revolted against jtritjsl control and had joined with (lerman troops, fell as a severe blow jo all England. Germany Behind It. There is no doubt that Germany is behind the revolt. It is remembered hev now with bitterness that Colonel Maritz is the man who. was sent by Great Britain in 1904, .in command of a detachment of Boers, to aid the Germans in suppressing a revolt of the native Hereros in German Southwest Africa. Maritz, a general in rank at that time, was engaged by Genera 1 Trotha, commander of the German forces, as military adviser, and commanded the main army in the expedition against the natives. Apparently the connections made at that time with the Germans in Southwest Africa have been renewed and Maritz has yielded to the lure of being one of the founders of a new republic. It is now learned that the Germans have been prosecuting a seditious propaganda for several years. Just how serious the situation has beca me within the last few days it Is si own by the proclamation of martial law Most of Boers Loyal. Encouraging messages come from South Africa asserting that the present revolt will not spread and that the malcontents are contained in the force which has already gone over to the Germans with the exception of a few of the principals whose present location is unknown. This intelligence is, hewever, taken with a grain of salt for it is feared that General Botha realizes the liklihood of a diffusion of the trouble and had enough evidence of it to lead him to insist upon martial law for the entire Union. One dispatch renews the statement that Colonel Maritz proposes to establish a free republic in the territory of which he was formerly the military commander and says that opinion in Cape Town characterizes it as an act of "unspeakable traitorism” and a shock to the real sentiment of the Dutch people.

Around the latter town the Germans have concentrated in very large numbers. “German cavalry patrols have been been in many places within twenty miles cf Dunkirk on the Straits of Dover, forty miles northwest, of Lille. These detachments doubtless are part of a screen thrown out to test the strength of the allies and mask the movements of the German main body.” T PARIS — Six bombs were dropped on Paris by a German aeroplane. None exploded. Five French aviators ascended and pursued the invading airship which fled to the east. A bomb was dropped also on the suburb of St. Quen, near a tank containing 8.0,000 tons of gasoline, but failed to explode. The mention of French marine fusilliers in the day’s official report from Paris is the first reference made to such forces operating with the allies.
