Dublin, May 1, via London.—A re- turn to normal conditions is being ac- complished gradually in Dublin, and it is now possible to give the first com- plete account of the happenings of the last week. Hitherto news of the Dublin uprising has reached the out- side world in fragmentary form, Ow- ing to the interruption of telegraphic communication, the censorship and the frequent conflict of statements, but the collapse of the rebellion has remoyed these conditions in great part and the story of the uprising, from the time it began last Monday, may now be given in proper sequence, in tie light of information obtained from authoritative sources. When the irreconciliable opponents of *British rule in Ireland proclaimed the republic their movement was look- ed upon as a mere display of fanatic- ism. It was soon found, however, that it was no mere demonstration, but an outbreak which had behind it a fair organization and sufficient force (o strangle the life of the capital and compel the authorities to send for military assistance from England. At no time, however, did the military or_eivil authorities consider the re- bellion a menace to the government, nor did they have any fears as to their ability to cope with it quickly as soon as_its extent became apparent. What occurred was as follows: First Dash of Sinn Feiners. } Monday—The first move was a dash by members of the Sinn Fein_ into the general post office. Many of these men were {n uniform of the Irish vol- unteers. a_body formed at tlhe time men of - Ulster ..orgapised . - st granting home rulc to Ireland, ‘the object being to resist any attempt by Ulster to oppose the home rule law. The party worked quietly, compell- ing all officials to quit their posts while they cut telegraphic communi- M. cations with the rest of Ireland and L« with England. / Posted Sentinels, Fully Armed The rebels posted sentinels, fully armed, at the doors and windows, and prevented any soldiers or policemen from entering the building. Several Soldiers Killed in First Few Minutes. Soon afterwards firing opened in the neighboring streets, for the reb- els immediately shot down any man in khaki. Several officers and men of the regular army thus fell victims in the first few minutes of the revolt. Rebels Seize City Hall. The authorities, unprepared at first to_deal with the uprising, ordered the police and soldiers to retire at once to their quarters, none of them being armed. In the meantime the rebels, according to their pre-arranged plan, seized other points in the city. They established themselves at the city hall, Liberty Hall and St. Stephen’s Green and also occupied many houses in Sackville Street and the side streets leading to it. Their sentries patrolled blocks in the center of the city and sharpshooters took up positions on the roofs and at the windows of houses. An attempt was made to seize Dublin Castle; but the little guard of Royal Irish Constabulary and soldiers prevented the rebels from getting beyond the gate, at which they killed the policeman on duty. Authorities Were Powerless. The authorities were powerless, with the forces at their disposal, to dis- lodge or attempt to combat the reb- els who, however, made a great mis- take, which eventually cost them dear. They either forgot to seize the tele- phone exchange or did not think it worth their attention. Thus the au- thoritles were able to send a call to the military officers at Camp Cur- ragh, some thirty miles away. From this ‘point a considerable body of troops was immediately despatched to the capital. Sniping Fairly Prevalent. Tuesday—The, situation in the morning was virtually unchanged, ex- . cept that the rebels apparently had increased in numbers and spread in small parties about the city. Sniping | was fairly prevalent in all quarters soldiers, rebels and civilians, the last suffering more than the two fighting bodies because they failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation. No effort was undertaken on this 1y -to turn the rebels out of their wwustrongholds, as the force of military on hand was still insufficlent for the The military in London had communicated with and within short time a large body of troops Wwas on the way to cope with the re- On Tuesday evening resi- of the city were still strolling |* ‘walks the of the Sackville .

Soldiers Remained Under Shelter. Soldiers on duty at the ends of streets were, compelled to remain un- der shelter from rebel bullets which came from every quarter and angle. During the course of the day a gun- boat came up the River Liffey, fired several shells into the Liberty Hall which was occupied by a number of rebel officers and soon demolished it. The cordons of troops gradually drew tighter around the rebel forts and the firing became faster and more furi- ous. Veritable Hail of Bullets. Thursday—By this time the city was under a veritable hail of bullets, and the small-shot fusillade became a continuous roar. The Associated Press correspondent with several oth- er newspaper men, passed along the custom house quay by the north wall and thence over the circular road, with bullets striking the walls and the ground all around. The rebels in some force had taken a position in a flour mill on the south side from which they hurried the troops on the north side until the authorities decided to use artillery to dislodge them. A dozen shells did the work and the reb- els retired to a disused distillery far- ther south, whence they were still able to give much trouble. Spectacular Bombardmént. y & Baval gun and field artillery turnéd their attention to this point. From the top of the dis- tillery tower floated a green rebel flag. ‘The bombardment was spectacular. Only 48 shells were fired and everyone hit the distillery, but the flagstaff was pot shot away and it hung over the side of the building even after the rebels had concluded the time was ripe to evacuate the structure. Mcanwhile fizhting was becoming hotter in the Sackville street area. Rebel Quarters Shelled. Friday—The sniping by rebel sharp- shooters hadq become so prevalent by Friday that the artillery officer In charge decided to shell the post office and houses in its neighborhood. Eight sheils had been fired into the Young Men's Christian Association building, two into the Catholic club and two in- to the post office. when a cessation of the cannonrde was ordered by a su- perior officer, as some houses had caught fire and it was feared the en- tire city might be placed in peril. Ad- ditional ‘fresh troops haq arrived and the cordons were further tightened, although this was accompanied by much fighting of a particularly dan- gerous type, every spot in the streets being in the danger zone. The rebels started fires in several places in the hope, it was reported, of the flames reaching the castle. Offer of Surrender. ..Saturday—FEarly on this morning fhe announcement was made that the leaders of the revolt had requested that they be allowed to surrender un- conditionally, as their commander-in- chief, J. H. Pearce. had been wound- ed in the leg and it was reported that James Connolly, commander of the rebel troops, had received a severe wound. How many of the rebels surrendered to the military with their leaders was not learned on this day, but their action brought about an im-, mediate diminution of sniping and the city became comparatively quiet. Only two_areas remained in possession of the rebels at night. Isolated Parties of Snipers. Isolated partles of snipers still con- tinued to pot at the troops, being ev- idently unaware of the capture of thelr leaders, but that evening it was possible to walk in the streets with- out running an excessive risk from stray bullets. Considered It Work of Fanatics. The Asosciated Press representative made two long tours through the city in order to obtain an idea of the sen- timents of the population regarding the rebellion, which to all intents and purposes had by this time been sup- pressed. Some men, chiefly of the transport workers’ class, were sulten, evidently having expected greater re- sults from the movement which had been in preparation for a long time. Most of the population, however, ex- pressed indignation at’ the outbreak, which they considered the work of fanatics and as never having had a chance of permanent success. Collapse of the Rebellion. Sunday—The final collapse of the rebellion came on this day, the ex- pected happening and the main_ body of the rebels In Dublin surrendering durlnfn(he course of the day, begin- ning the morning when those who had been established in the College of Surgeons gave themselves up, one of the prisoners here being the Countess ‘Markieviez, said to be one of the lead- ing spirits of the revolt. Proclamation Issued, In a proclamation issued by J. H, Pearce, as “provisional president,” the surrender of all the rebels was aa- vised, as the members of the provi- sional it had agreed to un- condi surrender “in ogl'dflr to e , pproval of John Redmond. Boston, May 1.—The executive com- mitteo of the Central branch of the United Irish league of Boston sent a cablegram to John Redmond today say- ing: “No doubt of Irish sentiment in Boston. Ardently supports you and party.” MILITARY ENCAMPMENT FOR YOUNG WOMEN. President Wi Cpening in W Washington, May 1—America Te- awakened in national spirit through lessons of the war in Burope was the theme of an address by President Wil- son today at the opening of the na- tional service school military encamp- ment for young women. In concluding, the president voiced a warning that the honor and integrity of the United States cannot be tampered with. He prayed that the country should not be drawn into war, but declared that, if it should be “in the great voice of na- tional enthusiasm which would be raised all the world would stand once more thrilled to hear the voice of the New World asserting the standards -of Justice and liberty The president expressed confidence that in time of trouble the great mass of foreign-born citizens of the United States would be loyal. “I never had the slightest doubt of what would hap- per when America called upon th(:." of her citizens born in other countries | to come to the support of the flag,” he said. “Why, they will come with | cheers, they will come with a momen- | tum which will make us realize that America has once more been ecried awake out of every sort of distemper and dream and distraction and that any man who dares tamper with the spirit of America will be cast out of the confidence of a great nation upon the instant.” Cabled Paragraphs Boston A MAN KILLED IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT AT SIMSBURY. Wedged Between Wagon and Tree and Fatally Crushed. Simsbury, Conn, May 1. — John Janesco, 26 years old, was killed in a} runaway accident here today when the | horses atsached to a heavy furniture van on which he was riding from the Weatogue section of the town with his family and household goods to their new home in West Hartford took fright | and got beyond the driver’s control. The wagon crashed into a tree at the roadside and Janesco was caught be- tween it and the tree. So tightly was he wedged there that he could not be removed for some time until help had been secured. He was hurried to a hospital at Hartford, but died soon af- ter_reaching it. Ris wife and three children, while bruised and shaken up, suffered no se: rlous injury.

Races, Picture Shows and Football Games Will Be Chief Producers. Dublin, Ireland, May 1.—The new budget, with its increased taxes and its | new imposts, has been very quietly re- | ceived in Ireland. The farmers are| relieved by the absence of any taxation on land. The community at large is happyfgo have escaped any increase in the charges on tea, beer and spirits. Ireland will pay her full share of the increased sugar duty, but cocoa, coffee and table waters are less freely used here than in Great Britain. The new tax on amusements will yield a ‘considerable revenue in Ire- land. The races, picture shows and football games will be the chief pro- ducers. The war has killed Rugby football in this country, but associa- tion football flourishes in the north and Gaelic football was never so popu- lar in the south. One of the Gaelic county final matches last year attract- ed an attendance of over 100,000. Dublin’ carrying the news that the movement had collapsed and ordering the various rebels bodies to surrender. Transporting Prisoners. Monday—'®>day came the news that all the rebel leaders had surrendered ang that the total number of prison- ers taken the day previous in Dub- lin had reached 1,000. The trans- portation of captured rebels to Eng- land was in full swing and it became known that nearly 500 of them had been sent across the channel. There was further submission of bodies out- side the city, notably of the Ennis- corthy rebels who had been holding out persistently, but who were an- nounced to have unconditionally sur- rendered. Greatest Sufferers Were Citizens. Reverting to the beginning of the outbreak, it is known that the author- ities, although fully recognizing its seriousness, were certain from the first that the rebels would be sup- pressed in a reasonably short _time after the first surprise. Lord Wim- borne, the Lord Lieutenant, express- ed confidence of this from the start. ‘The greatest sufferers from the ers- turbances were the hundreds of thous- ands of peaceable citizens, men, wo- men and children, who were compelled to remain indoors and were unable to obtain sufficient food, although there were ample stores in the city. The authorities early began organizing re- lief for these people and on Friday ang Saturday women and children were escorted in grpups to provision depots where large supplies were handed out. Dublin Again Normal. By Saturday night Dublin had re- sumed almost its normal aspect ex- cept for a number of smouldering fires. The stores had not yet open- ed, but the streets were ilfuminated and in view of the events of the week that had pased it was interesting to read the motto of the city on each lanyp which in Latin says: “When citizens are obedient peace reigns in the city.” Dublin Soldiers Indignant. The Dublin soldiers and the Irish regiments in the garrisons of Dublin who bore the brunt of the first day’s outbreak, expressed great indignation over the uprising, occurring, as n alq, at a time when the British empire remmens ‘the dis- Peaceable Will Be No Breach With Germany NOTE FROM BERLIN WILL LESS- EN APPREHENSION.

The deliberations at German head- quarters have been concluded and Am- bassador Gerard will leave this even- ing for Berlin, arriving here Tuesday afternoon. The German reply is expected with little delay, but it is considered unde- sirable that preliminary indications ot the natunre of the note should be pub- lished abroad.

Danielson, May 1—Philip Caffery, 22, of Attawaugan was almost in- stantly killed and Lillian Parker, 20, employed in the mill at Attawaugan, was probably fatally injured at about 9.30 o'clock Monday night, when the motorcycle on which they were rid- ing was struck by a small runabout car driven by Georse Eastment of Brooklyn, who was being sgiven a demonstration by Earl Wood, who was also riding in the car. The car is the property of the Wil- liam Heywood garage of Moosup. Man Expired Within Five Minutes. Caffery expired within five minutes after the accident. It was later learned that he had suffered a frac- ture at the base of the skull, a scalp wound that bled profusely and a frac- ture of the left leg below the knee, his leg being ripped open for the dis- tance of several inches. Miss Parker in Precarious Condition. Miss Parker also suffered a fracture at the base of the skull and a frac- ture of the left leg below the knee.

Mr. Wood said that the automobile was coming from Brooklyn to Daniel- son when the motorcycle suddenly dashed out from between the dwell- ings where Mr. Moore lives. He says he heard no sound of the horn or other warnfngs to indicate that_the motoreycle was coming di- rectly out into the path of the ma- chine and that it was in front of the car without an instant’s warning. Story of the Crash. In the crash that followed the right fender and head! it of the car struck the motorcycle about in the cylinder which was broken off and both the motorcycle and automobile | swerted toward the north side of the street. The automobile was quickly stopped. Car Going 20 Miles an Hour. fr. Wood says that before the ac- ident happened Eastment had cut the power off and that the car was run- ning in neutral and coasting along at not more than 20 miles an hour with the idea of stopping at Mr. Wood's house which was only three dwellings farther down the street. The car was being driven close to the right hand curbing and there was no chance to avold hitting the motorcycle. Physicians Soon on Scene. Dr. George M. Burroughs, Dr. F. P. Between Todd and Dr. W. H. Judson were soon at the scene of the accident. Caf- fery was already dead so the physi- clans turned their attention to Miss Parker who was quickly hurried to Putnam. Coroner Arthur G. Bill and Medical Examiner Dr. A. H. Tanner of Brooklyn later viewed the body of Mr. Caffery which was removed by Undertaker Louis E. Kennedy. Auto Not Badly Damaged. ‘The automobile was not badly dam- aged, the right fender was crumpled up and headlights smashed in. Mr. Caffery was a clerk in the At- tawaugan Co.’s store and was one of the best liked young men in the vil- lage where the people were shocked by the accident. He was a chief sup- port of his widowed mother and a young man of splendid character.

England Resents Adoption of Our Ideas for Women's: Apparel: London, May 1—England has at last awakened to the fact that America has become a great power in the world of fashion, and that many of the ideas for women's apparel which formerly came from France now emanate from New York. A London morning paper publishes a long editorial appealing to the govern- ment to protect home industries by clapping a heavy duty on styles im- ported from New York. It says, in part: “Especially should we come down hot and strong on American fashions. Our French allies are concentrating their energies on the war so closely that Paris fashions have almost ceased to exist, and America is making frantic efforts to establish herself as, the malker of the mode. “This is very natural, but she may very well be made to pay for her op- portunity. She has always made France and England pay for dresses imported into the states, and this is a. yery- legitimate occasion for retalla- lon. “It is hardly decent in war time for women to wear fashionable dresses at all, yet if the fashions came from Paris we should find it difficult to place an embargo on them. Luckily we are not faced with that dilemma, and can impose a_trifing duty on dresses from Paris afd a very heavy one on dresses from America. Every imported mode! for fashionable wear should be made to bear a government stamp.” SO-CALLED LETTER OF CARDINAL MERCIER BOGUS California, to be subject to settlement from June 26 to July 23.
