London, March 13.-tBy The Asso-

hannesburg tend to show that th esitua-
ton, which last week was extremely
grave. with many hundreds of casualties
on all sides in the fighting. now is well
controlled by formidable forces of the
government. The prompt quelling of
the disorders was largely due to the free
employment of bombing airplanes to dis
perse the rebels and drop food and am
munton to besieged loyal lists.
Johannesburg, which on Saturday
was invested on three sides. is at the
present time quite safe. Krugersdorp,
the western limit of the fighting. has
been captured by the troops. The Pre-
toria- Germiston railway line was still
being contested on Sunday, but with
the capture of Benoni and Dunswart
announced. it is believed most of the
resistance has been overcome.
