MARITZ REBELLION.

UNION FORCES IN THE FIELD WITH BOTHA.

HERTZOG, THE LOYALIST. h

United Press 'Association.

Capetown, October 15,

Owing to the Marita rebellion, General Botha is taking the field earlier than intended, with several Dutch commandos of the old burgher lines coupled with the regiments of the Union Defence Force.

The Government is adopting the sternest measures in the centres of disaffection, arresting prominent men suspected of sowing sedition. \ Backvelders’ prisoners include a Germanised Afrikander, who was allegedly the go-between for the Germans and Maritz. It is understood that Maritz planned the arrest as a blind, and sent the Afrikander to Pretoria for the purpose of giving the Government m'sleading information, nominally in confidence, about the German frontier. The authorities, however, were aware of the man’s antecedents, and Maritz’s design failed. General Hertzog has placed his services at the Government’s disposal. A British patrol fought a party of Maritz’s force at Randraai, and took 80 prisoners.
