Dublia, July 2.—(By- TheA. P.)—The mational troops were wictorfous in the battle in Dublin today. Barly in the ev- ening they opened with & heavy fire. and veveral rebel strongholds and nearly 400 prisoners were captured. An officlal bulletin issueid shortly be- fore nine -o'clock tonightgsays: “Thirty' irregulars who occupled * Moran's hotel now in our hands, as is also the sec- Uion bounded by Talbot, Purdon Amiens, and Gardiner streets. 'General Ennis telephones at 8.20 that the irregulars have been driven from eight positions they held.” A fresh outbreak of firing occurred in many parts of Dublin,, and throughout the city there has been |increased activi- ty on the part of the. nationals and heavy concentrations atftactical points. Free Staters began hy. occupying the bulldings cnmmindmi the fleld of fire to the principal bulldings in possession of the irregulars. “All quiet” is thesreport from Cork and Limerick. REBEL OFFICERS-ARE PLACED UNDED ARREST Dubiin. July 2.—The peace efforts of Lord Mavor O'Nefll and Archbishop Bytne of a basis of the evacuation of the cccupled bulldings proved unsuccess- ful today. and as soon as this was known the provisional gowernment authorities prepared to @isiowige the rebels. The attack on the Sackville street area was $eveloped on the west side, while other speragions were prepared in another gec- tion of the city. Several former officers of the Mid= Clare brigade who wers engaged in re- truit'ng and orgamizing against the na- Uona' army were placed under arrest. The irregulers posted a machine gun s the tower of Arnott and Company's premises in Henry stroet last night and brought it info action against the tele- shome exchange in Crown alley. The na- Uona] garrison reploed wah brsk firing which continued for several minues. During the night thers was only inter- mittent firing, which had been heavy up o midnight. ' As the church bells were tinging the Angelus at six o'clock in the ‘mornin hey were accompanied by the wound of guns in action again. From wven unti] eleven the full was brokend sn'y by the ossasional crack of a sniper's vifie. but later the shooting increased. An offclal report detailing national wuccesses in the provinces announces that the army operting Yn Kilkenny cap- tured the Callan barracks, which was svacuated by the insufgents before its Ivestment was completed. The Mullina- vac and Thomaston barracks wers also saptured BEBFLS REINFORCED IN MEN AND MATERIALS Dublin, July 2.—(By ‘the A. P.)—Dub- tin today presented an mspect of inexpres- sible dreariness, a driving rain left the streets deserted, trams ceased _running, and the only traffic appeared to be armor- was commandeered from a Unionist farm- er, and in a wood at Raphoe. The wires to Raphoe have been cut, and nobody is allowed to enter the town. * The camp at Burnfoot rectory, where about fifty irregulars were in occupation, has been evacuated, some of the men going to Inch Fort and others to Skeog garrison. it is stated that roads at this point have been mined to prevent the passage of national troops from Buncrana. Large bouiders also have been placed in posi- tion with a similar object. No ‘actual fighting has yet taken place between the national and irregular-forces in this area, and beyond reconnaisances both 'sides seem to be waiting events. It is under- stood the frregulars have an ample sup- ply of food but are poorly equipped with arms. It is believed they will not be able to make a strong stand against the na- tlonalist troops If they should come into action. \ ’ Before evacuating Burnfoot the irreg- ulars rushed into the rallway station just as a train from Letterkenny was ar- Tiving. They had their rifies ready and expected to carry out a coupe by cap- turing @ small party of national troops they believed were on board the train. The only passengers, however, were, wo- men and children. An excursion train from Londonderry to Buncrana, which was due to have run today, was cancelled by direction of the officers commanding the 'national iroops at Bunerana. A large number of deserters from the irregular forces have arrived in London- derry by devious routes, dodging the border patrols. It is stated that 35 irregulars in custody in Buncrana have threatened to go on a hunger strike. Mass was celebrated for them today, in the British naval barracks where they are-confined. During the memorial service in the Londonderry cathedral Saturday, held to commemorate the battle of the Somme, a dispateh- rider arrived ‘and. called -on all the special constables present to proceed to the border. IRREGULARS RESISTING IN IMPROVISED STRONGHOLDS London, July ‘3, 4.30 * a. m.—Latest news from Dublin was of a big con- certed national movement around the O’'Connell street area, where irregulars are resisting in improvised strongholds. ¥t is not known here whether the move. ment was accompanied by fighting dur- ing the might or was merely a close investment The American consulate In Sackville street has removed to a hotel in Sterh- #ns Green 80 s to be out of the fight- ing zomes. BIELASKI'S KIDNAPPING A “PREPARED PLAN" Mexico Ctty, July 2.—The newspapers today publish a telegram a telegram. to Secretary of the Interior Calles from Dr. J. G.Porras, governor of Morclos, in which it is stated that “each day the idea grows that the kidnapping of A. #d cars and dozens of ambulances rush- Ing from point to point collecting the toll of the sniper's bulleta. The national troops up to late after- moon did not take active measures against the irregular strongholds, the delay for the expected operation being due, It js sald, to the efforts of the Lord Mayor and Archbishop Byrne to persuade the leaders of the insurgents to save Dublin's principal thoroughfare from tuin, although their efforts in this direc- tion falled yesterday. 1 The leaders of the irregulars, including | Eamonn De Valera, Cathal Brugha and | Dséar Traynor, who is reputed to be at | the head of the Dublin irregulars, and Countess Markievicz, are all said to be In this area. The republican “War News” msserts that the rebel forces in Dublin have been reinforced both In men and ‘material. The provisional government today cir- culated a leaflet accusing the irregulars of trying to fores Ireland into war with England agalnst the will of $he Irish peopie. The leaflet characterizes as°false the assertion that British troops are operat- Ing with the national forces, and declares that the naional army alone is fighting to uphold the will of the Irish people. “They are your kith and kin” it adds. :Give them your full support. The “War News" professes to explain how & nearly successful atternpt to re- lieve the Four Courts garrison was fru trated owing to the premature explosion of A mine. It says that acting under a preconcerted plan relieving troops had works their way through the investing Bruce Bielaski wad a perfectly prepared plan for causing new diffiulties between Mexico and the United States.” 2 El Universal and El Democrata inter- Ppret this telegram as proof of the guilt of Mr. Bielaski in connection with. the kidnappinz, although eome of the other papers point out that Dr. Porras' com- munication gives the idea that the kid- napping was concelved in the - United States by others.

The facts are that at the time Bielaski arrived the chief executive was in conference with Leon Salinas, under-secretary of the - treas- ury, who had just returned: from the De La Huerta,conference in New York. In view of the importance of the visit of Secretary Salinas, Bielaski was ask- ed to wait or 10 go later in the afternoon to Chapuletec castle.

Washington, July 2.—Rebel forces were deteated and scgtiered by federal troops near the Aguada camp of the company in the Tampico district ico on June 30, according to a message Teceived by the state department today from Consul Shaw at Tampico. The lat- ter said his information was based upon a report he had received from oil com- pany officials yesteeday. There were two actions, the consul said, in which five or six rebels were killed, three. taken prisoners and sixty of their horses and mules captured. federal troops, he added, according to his advices, were D rout, The sebels while other federal troops, he understood, were coming Into the district. Mr. Shaw, in his messave, which was filed at noon yesterday, did not mention the name of the commander of the rebel forces, but it was assumed here it prob- ably was General Gorozave, who recently took several of the employes of the ofl company prisoner and seized much de- sieuctible property of the concern as “se- carity” for the payment of 15,000 pesos. The situation now was apparently well in hand by the troops of the Obregon goy- ernment; the consul stated. The employes General Gorozdve were subsequently re- leased, as were those seized later at the Pecera camp of La Corona company in the same district.

Washington, July 2 (By the A. P. Bituminous coal mine operators and of- ficials of the Miners' undon, calléd to ‘Washington by President Harding to de- vise means of ending the coal strike, end- ed the second day of their conference in a disagreement which was made certain by formal votes. Both sides held firm to their ‘previous conflicting determinations to await a government suggestion or com« promisé offer. Adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow, with.no other prospect in sight than that Seoretaries Hooover and Davis, both, of whom have participated in the Join \meetings, might then have further )Lr;atlers to present in behalf of the pub- ic. One main donference, in which miners and operators particivated, was marked today by the formal casting of baliots, according to a joint statement issued late by Secretaries Hoover and Davis, the op- erators voting down a proposal favoring the calling of a cenfcal competitive field ‘wage conference, and\the miners, immedi- ately after, voting down the operators’ proposal calling- for -independent wage conferences in each district. The miners' union officials, immediate- Iy after the general conference adjourned. convened in a separate meeting and the operators as promptly met in a hotel room for lengthy discussions. These sessions only cesuited, according ‘to int!mations of those attending, in reiterations of a determination’to_hold to the position al- ready taken. One additional overator, Joseph Pursglove of Cleveland 0., was seated as an operators’ delegate; clearing up-a desree of disaffection over the per. sonnef of the delegation which existed among Tio employers on the first day of the conference. ’ ‘The operators’ argument -against the central comoetiive field wage negotiation weee as stronsly advanced today as be- fore. This nesotiation resulted practically in fixing national wage scales, they main- tained, by Ilkinois, Ohio, Indiana and stern Pennsylvania, without regard ‘to differences of. living costs, mining condi- tions and transportaion facilities in dis- 1 tricts whose output had to be sold on competing markets. Further, the increase of non-union coal areas, they said, with wage scales moving un and down flexibly to fit market conditions, would eventually force them out of business if they con- tinlied national wage fixing with the union. John L. Lewis, president of the United Jline Workers of Amecica, was said to ave countered with the- asser: for 25 vears the central agreement had set 2 naional standard, that operators in ‘outlylng districts could” not and” Woul not settle until they knew what Wage conditions their compehitors mizht ob- tain. Further, he asserted, the industrial Oil ex- the by, ala claimed from them did not exist. . The two cabinet members present, it was indicated, chiefly asked questions to clear up points.
