IRISH OUTBREAKS ARE FEARED TODAY Dublin Strile Seems to Center About Prize Fight London, March 17. (By Assoclated Press)—The reason for the rigid censorship imposed In Dublin yester- day preventing use of telegraph lines und telephones oxcept for brief mes- sages approved by the authorities is not known here. The Londen morn- ing newspapers have scarcely any di- rect me from Dublin, Even the sport!ee; columns contain no late dis- patches on this evening's Siki-Mc- Tigue fight, The Dally Sketch, aside from a story from Its Dublin correspondent degcribing the extraordinary condi- tions under which the bout will take place prints a short telegram under & Dublin date. line which asserts that the city is on tenterhooks wondering what Saturday will bring forth, Guards on Duty. .. The government, this dispatch says, {sproviding armed guards for ' the Scala Uheater—the scene of ‘the fight |/ ~—and every other place of amuse- ment in order to make sure that the 1epublican proclamation. against the opening of such houses shall not be made effective. Telegrams from Belfast quote ar- rivals from Dublin as saying that the situation is unusually teénse. The streets were crowded yesterday with troops who revolvers in hand, kept an incessant vigil stopping and examin- ing pedestrians. There were no dis- turbances. The Belfast correspondent’ of the Morning Post says that the situation is crystallizing in a remarkable way around the big bout. The republicans declare that it must not take place, threatening the boxers with death if they appear in the ring. The government on the other hand . has accepted the deflant challenge of the republicans and is determined to allow the fight as well as other enter- tainmenrts to take place. The public is reported as being at a loss to know what to do. People are naturally not| inclined to be caught in a possible conflict between the rival forces but nevertheless all the seats have been- sold ‘and it is probable that most of the ticket holders will hardly desire to lose both their money and a ‘sight of the boxers. Other reports from Belfast are along a similar line declaring that if the fight is held—and the promoters are determined that it shall be held— the ring wil]l be surrounded by, troops armed with bhayonets and revolvers, Tt is imppssible to say whether these reports are sensationally colored. It is expected that the censorship will from Dublin will be forthcoming. be raised today and that direct news HAS DESERTED DIAMOND.
