Mr. Redmond was loudly applauded when he replied to Carson as follows: Sir Edward Carson aroused great enthusiasm when he said: “In behalf of my colleagues and the overwhelming majority of the Irish people, I wish to express my cordial detestation of the acts of the Dublin rioters. I will heartily join with Sir Edward in the hope that the situation will not be taken advantage of by any political party “Lam satisfied with the Premier's statement that the Government will be able to regulate affairs in Ireland.

GOVERNMENT ALL RELAND IS DECLARED UNDER MARTIAL LAW: STERN MEASURES TO CRUSH REVOLT ——-¢ 2 Major Gen.Sir John Maxwell Ordered to Take Charge of the Country Under Military Control — More Troops Hurried From England. UPRISINGS ANNOUNCED IN WESTERN COUNTIES LONDON, April 27,—The revolt in Ireland is spreading, especially in the western counties, Dublin is still largely in the hands of the revolu- tionists, martial law has been proclaimed in all Ireland, Major General Sir John Maxwell left for Irelasd to take control of the country under military law this afternoon and thousands of troops are being made ready tor service in Ireland, All this was admitted by Premier Asquith in the Holse of Commo to-day. The Premier admitted further that the situation in Ireland i very serious, Military censorship prevails and while the Premier as- serted that all possible latitude in the transmission of news will be al- lowed it is no secret in official circles that important facts in relation to the Irish rebellion situation have been suppressed. It is plain that the military forces in Ireland were unable to cope with the uprising and that the reinforcements sent from England were unequal to the requirements. Premier Asquith said, in reply to a question, that he believed the additional soldiers now on the way to Ireland or to be sent ts soon as they can be put aboard transports will be able to put down the rebellion Fighting continues in Dublin, according to official reports, and it is quite possible that the rioting has been continuous since last Monday. Premier Asquith admitted that the revolutionists are still in possession of important public buildings in the Irish capital, despite his statement of yes- Jay that the post ottice and all other buildings which the rebels had iezed | retaken by the troop Military 3 say that a force of revolutionists strong enough to hold public buildings in Dublin four days in the face of attack by trained troops is an extremely dangerous factor.
