STRIKE IN PRETORIA.
THE MINES AND THE MILLS. DUTCH LABOUR. PRETORIA, May 24. Poor Dutch are gradually replacing the strikers on the Rand. Engine-drivers and other mechanics continue to work. The strike is delaying development work rather than crushing. Received May 26, 4.37 p.m. PRETORIA, May 25. The Rand stokers, disregrading the order forbidding an assembly of six or more within 300 yards of the mines, marched across to the Croesus Mine. The police • kept them off until a squadron of the Queen's Bays arrived. The crowd refused to disperse, whereupon the immediate order was given to charge. This surprised the strikers, who fled.
