SOUTH AFRICA.
FIND OF MUNITIONS. IMPORTED BEFORE WAR BROKE OUT. Received August 11, 12.30 a.m. London, August 10. One of the last discoveries made by Botha's troops in German South-West Africa was that of twenty-seven thousand rifles, packed in cases, and also parts of a large number of machineguns and an enormous quantity of ammunition, which'was landed a few weeks before the outbreak of the war. This adds a point to Do Wet's admission that he was marching to the German border to obtain ammunition.
