Normal telegraph, telephone, and mail services have not been restored, and the existing means of communi- cation are subject to such a strict cen- sorship that it is possible to obtain only fragmentary information. Such news despatches as came through this morning added little to the informa- tion contained in last night's official advices and stories of eye-witnesses. So far as offical reports show. the situation in Dublin is gradually being brought under control. The most im- portant recent news, that the rebels have been driven out of St. Stephen’ green with bombs, sustaining heavy 1o in killed, wounded and pris has not been confirmed officially here seems to be no doubt, however n- T} that the rebels are still in control of various parts of Dublin, and that street fighting continues with lengthening list of casualties. It is reported the casualty list already ex- ceeds 100. Of the situation outside Dublin lit- tle is known beyond the official admis- won that the disaffection has spread to various localities in the west and south of TIreland. Field Marshal de- in re- has not ench’s statement of last night scribed these disturbances as local character, and so far as has been vealed by which passed the censorship have been i information the: attended by heavy fighting. ' 100 Killed or Injured. Upward of one hundred persons have been killed or injured thus far in Dublin, a correspondent at Belfast of the Evening News reports dispatch filed last night. He says rioters, hidden in hous ing important street covered by barricades in the streets, #re keeping up a constant fusillade. The list of casualties continues to lengthen. It includes many civilians who, the correspondent says, have been picked off by Sinn Fein snipers for mno reason than they were selieved to be laval. The cordon of troops is being grawn gradually but surely around the rebel strongholds The au- thorities are carrying on their diffi- cult task with the greatest fore- bearance. Tvery effort is being made to avoid unnec ry bloodshed and damage. Strangers who traverse some parts of the cent take their 1l portion lives in of the ty their hands,” ,” the correspondent continues. “In one or pwo instances rioters shot down women and children. Opposite the Shelbourne Hotel still lies the carcas cf a horse shot on Tuesday as thi region has been too ngerous to permit of its removal.

During last Monday’s and Tuesday’s trouble the populace could go where they liked There was barbed wire around the post office but the sentinels made no ef- fort to prevent people who wished to do so from crawling under the barriers. On the other clear that anybody in uniform would be shot “Another illustration excellent organization that, although food was command- cered from a big hotel, it was paid for. According to reports, the money came from the post office vaults where, it is alleged, a large quantity of new paper money was selzed.” Cork Rcbels Too Late. “We planned to rise simultaneously tered. it was made his majes at sight. of the rebels’ was the fact hand, without Dublin comrades, but some- | thing went wrong with the arrange- | ments,” said a leader of the Sinn | Feiners in Cork in an interview pub- [lished here today. “We might have been in possession of the post office but for the fact that the military was there first,” added the leader. “No, T do not think we will rise here, but if they come to demand our arms we shall shoot them. When the news of the Dublin ing trickled through here Monday, we all retired to our armored barracks, loaded our Rogers, Howard Wison, J.Vance, George S. Talcott, Jos. C.
