WASHINGTON, April @8.-—Sir Roger Casement, now a prisoner in the Tower of London, is to be placed on trial on charge of treason as quickly as possible. Ex- pectations that he might be treated with a certain degree of leniency because of possible mental derangement or that consideration of his case would be postponed on account of conditions in Ireland are without foundation. Representatives of the British Government in the United States received official despatches to-day from London stating that Casement’s trial would begin without unnecessary delay. While no date was specified, the despatches were taken to mean that within a few days or a week judgment will be passed upon him. LONDON, April 28.—Sir Roger Casement in his cell in the Tower of Leadon has been boasting of his part in fomenting the Irish revolution and has revealed some of the inner details of the plot. It appears from his gtatement that the expedition to Ireland which he headed was only a part of an elaborate plan. Zeppelin and cruiser raids on the coast of England were to have been Agupohed, one after another, for several days in order that the authorities yamight be kept too busy to pay much attention to Ireland. Had Sir Roger jed in landing with his 20,000 rifles and his great store of munitions havo started across Ireland gathering an army on the way to and seize Dublin.
