FEAR UPRISING 0F NEGROES IN
 SOUTH AFRICA
General Botna Issues Mes sage Deploring Anti Ger
 man Riots.

London, May :c.-Great apprehen- sion is felt in South Africa over pos sibility of an uprising among 25O,0OO negroes employed in the mines along the Rand, says a message from Cape town Immense crowds thronged the streets here last night and today, and their behavior was sometimes threatening, reads the message which continues:
 Troops and police found great diff ficulty preventing disorders. It was announced that the government had decided to interne all males of enemy nationality and protect naturalized aliens or those who have applied for naturalization.
 General Botha has issued to the people of the Union of South Africa from Windhock, capital of German South Africa, message deploring the anti-German riots. Tn many cases, he says, the victims have sons fight ing. with me at the front. It is most discouraging for the officers and men here who daily are risking their lives to hear of these events at home.'
 'fLater reports show that the riot ing has been of most serious char acter, but fear of possible uprising among 25O.000 negroes working in the gold mines along the Rand now apparently is having a steadying ef- feet The natives obtained liquor freely from footed stores and this added greatly to the peril of the situation.
 Some of the largest warehouses on the Rand. containing large stores of merchandise belonging to Ger mans. are reported to have been de- stroyed. When the work sof destruc- ton was at it's height, flames were visible for miles. Big buildings were set afire and allowed to blaze.
 "The same tale of destruction on a large scale comes from other towns. At Port Elizabeth 20 German estab- lishments were wrecked. In Pretoria the windows were smashed in the office of German newspaper; Maritzburg reports general exodus of Germans.
 "A Significant result of the distrub- ances is that many prominent Ger mans have disavcwed their country's methods of warfare"
