ESTABLISHED DEATH FOR BRITISH ENVOY IF CASEMENT [5 POORLY TREATED Sir Cecil Spring-Rice “and Other English Servants in This Country” Given Warning U.5. STATE DEPARTMENT IS NOW INVESTIGATING Dublin Reported to Be in Control of His Majesty’s Soldiers—Casement May Be Tried for High Treason, for Which He Can Be Beheaded— Secretary Birrcll Going to Ircland to Dook Over Situation. Washington, April 26—The British mmbassador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, to- day received and referred the state department an anonymous threatening communication declaring that any treatment of Sir Roger Casement other than that due a prisoner of war of the highest rank would be a sentence of death against “him and other English servants in this country.” to London, April 26, 3:05 p. m—At the opening of the house of commons today Augustine Birrell, chief secre- tary for Ireland, said it was difficult to say whether any routes to Ireland were open or closed. He added that he was going there if he could make mrrangements. Premier Asquith told the house of commons that drastic action to sup- press the movement in Ireland was being taken. Outside of Dublin, he said, the country was tranquil. The premier added that steps were being taken to acquaint neutral countries of the real significance of “This most recent London, April 26, 2:28 a. m.—Sir Roger Casement, leader of the separatist faction in Ireland, who was captured while attempting to land arms from Germany 6fi~ the Irish coast, was conveyed across Ire- land Saturday by a strong, armed escort who knew the prisoner only by two initials. He arrived in Lon- don without incident and immediate- ly was lodged in the Metropolitan prison The fact that Sir Roger Casement has been brought to England to stand trial and is detained in military custody leads to the assumption that he will be tried on the charge of high treason. Arthur Lynch Was Last Accused. This charge has been preferred less than half a dozen times in Eng- land in the last hundred years. The Jast instance was during the Boer ‘War, resulting in the convinction of Arthur Lynch in 1903. Mr. Lynch, who is now a member of the house of commons, was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted and a year later a pardon was granted. The Express suggests the possibil- ily that Sir Roger, if convicted of high treason, may be beheaded, as under the existing law a person found guilty of this offense may, by crown warrant, be given the penalty of beheading instead of hanging. Political Lunatics’ Act of Folly. “An act of folly by political luna- tics—old disgruntled cranks and young Sinn Feiners”, is the orthodox view of the Irish nationalists on the aiprising in Ireland as expressed by Métthew Keating, member of parlia- ment from South Kilkenny. Mr. Keating has been active in the na- tionalist group for six years. “The utter lack of real political significance in what has just taken place in Dublin can be understood swhen I explain that”those concerned lcould not possibly represent more than one per cent. of the popula- tion of th ecountr: said Mr. Keat- ing. “To illustrate, not more than twenty-five of this band of cranks can he found in my constituency of seven thousand. Many of them originally Joined the Irish movement when Sir 1 ward Carson organized Ulster. In Touch With Casement. “Some time after we started the Irish volunteer movement to offset the Ulster organization there arose a division between the Irish national- ist and those following old revolu- tionary movements. The latter adopt- €d the name of Irish Volunteers and continued to talk nonsense and drill after the beginning of the war. “It is quite evident that these kept in touch with Sir Roger Casement and arranged an onslaught coinci- dent with the ill-fated gun running exploit.” The following telegram re- ceived in London today from Baron Wimborne, Lord Lieutenant for Ire- s land, dated Dublin: “The situation is satisfactory. phens Green has been occupied. Eleven insurgents have been killed. T'he provincial news is reassuring.” wrs Birrell and Asquith Blamed. London, April 26, 3:55 a. m.—"The revolt in Ireland is the natural result of the government’s policy in TIre- 1and,” says the Daily Mail. ‘“‘Augus- tine Birrell, chief secretary for Ire- (Continued On Fifteenth Page.)

One of the British which played a part in a previous battle in the North Sea, was again in the thick of the fight. A shot pene- trated her engine room and four of her crew were scalded. After firing into the town of Lowe- stoft for twenty minutes, the Ger- mans retreated. The casualties ahoard the British ships occurred in the’run- | ning fight which ensued.

Paris, April 26, 12:30 p. m.—A French aeroplane and a Zeppelin fought a duel at an altitude of 4,000 metres off Zeebrugge today. Aeroplane fired nine incendiary shells at the Zeppelin, which appears to have heen damaged. The engagement, occurring more than two miles from the earth, was fought at 3 o’clock this morning. At the same time another French aeroplane, armed with cannon, fired numerous projectiles on a German torpedo boat off Ostend. A German aeroplane of the TFok- 4dker type was brought down in an aerial combat near Luneville, France. London, April 26, 5:05 a. m.—The Zeppelins which made a raid over the east coast last night remained at a great height, probably because they were subjected to violent fire from anti-aircraft guns. The raiders were favored by darkness of the moonless night and the lightness of the wind, but were forced to flee after a short time. A correspondent in a town of Hs- sex County says a Zeppelin was picked up by a searchlight at the outskirts of the county as it was sail- ing in a southerly direction. In a few minutes it was outlined against the sky by other searchlights. Then shrapnel began to burst around it from many directions. The Zeppelin climbed very high and hovered about for ten minutes. Then it sailed east- ward. No bombs were dropped after the searchlights found it. The number of casualties and ex- tent of the damages caused by the raid have not been ascertained.

The Alvarado Mining company, op- erating near Parral; the Compania Agricola, with a plant at LaBoquilla, and the National Mines and Smelter i Co, with headquarters at i have arranged to send forty | érators into Mexico next { These men have been given | sion by the de facto | carry guns and ammanition to protect | themscives against the roving bands of | ; bandits who still infest Chihuahua. The confidence shown by the mining companies is not, however, based en- tirely on the protection which the de'! facto government can give them, ac- | cording to one of their executives. | This man said that he believed that the American troops are going to re main in Mexico until the situation | again became normal and that he and | his colleagues were relying on the ex-| pectation that they could call . on United States soldiers for help in the event of serious trouble. Confidence in Obregon. At the same time there is consider- able confidence among an important element of the people here in Gen. Obregon. The restraint shown by the people of northern Chihuahua over | the entry of American . troops into Mexico is believed to be largely due to. the influence of Carranza’s minister It is pointed out that Gen. commander at Juarez, is a personal appointee of Gen. Obregon and that his constant and successful efforts to avoid friction with this.couns.| try is unquestionably a reflection’ of the attitude.of his military chief. The coming conference between Gen. Obregon and Gen. Scott is await- ed with the keenest intrest. Magistral, mine op- Monday. | permis- | government to | | Decorated Bandit Shot. Columbus, N.
