FEAR NEW OUTBREAK. Volunteers Urge Sinn Feiners to Avoid Violence if Mac- Sweney Dies in Jail. LONDON, Aug. 27.—Terrence Mac- Sweney, Lord Mayor of Cork, w- day began the fifteenth day of his hunger strike in much the same con- dition as yesterday, He was weak this morning, but was conscious and wble to speak a little. It was sald Mayor MacSweney might live another week if his lungs have not been attacked as a result of @ previous illness, A cordon of troops has been es- tablished about Brixton Prison and a very close guard is being main- tained to prevent @ recurrence of the disorder on Wednesday night. In spite of the statement from Lloyd George that the attitude of the Government Is unbending word comes from Ireland that the Dublin Castle offtcials ure divided and that the dominant faction favors a more leni- ent policy. It Is sald that tt was for this reason ‘that Sir Harmer Greens wood went to Lucerne to visit Premier Lioyd George. Sir Harmer fears ser- jous disorders in Ireland, ‘The statement was made to-day that the King, through Lord Stamfordham, his secretary, consulted with the re- sponsible Ministers, but that the pol- iey of the Government remains un- changed, Replying to the appeal of the Irish Peace Conference in behalf of Mac- Sweney, Home Secretary Shortt tele- Braphed to-day: “I am very sorry. The decision is the decision of the Cabinet and 1 cannot alter tt.” Despatches from Dublin say that volunteer leaders have gone to Cork, where trouble is expected first, to maintain order and not to be led by what they regard as provocation into disastrous uprising, The volunteers, however, are not sure they can hold down the wrath of the people and fear such an increaso in the struggle be- tween the people and the soldiers as to amount virtually to rebellion, It Is stated on excellent authority that the difficulty about releasing MacSweney lies in a promise Premier Lloyd George gave to the military authorities in Ireland, when he put through the Coercion Bill. According to this informant the military author- ities of Ireland, backed by Lord French, were against the Coercion Bill, and when the Government In- sisted in placing upon them theduty of enforcing it thoy insisted upon an agreement from Lioyd George prom- ting not to Interfere.

Forcible Removal of Arch- bishop Mannix Another Reason Given for Walkout. Stirred by agitators picketing the British Consulate in protest against the sufferings and imminent death by hunger strike of Mayor MacSweney of Cork and by resentment against ( the forcible removal of Archbishop Mannix from the Baltic on his ar- rival in England, a spontaneous strike of longshoremen and engine- room crews on the Baltle and other British ships in this port gained for- midable proportions Friday afternoon. The strike was not authorized by the Longehoremen’s Union, but union officials did nothing’ to counteract tt. Two thonsand longshoremen work- ing on Baltic frieght quit at a little | after 2 o'clock just after a committee | of women pickets with placards de- nouncing the imprisonment of Mac- Sweney passed the pler. The men formed in line to march to the pler of the Red Star Line, They declared that by to-morrow morning no longshoremen would be at work on the Celtic, the Olympic, the Aquitania or any other British liner. Oilers, firemen and stokers of the Baltic quit the ship soon after the longshoremen left the pier. The strikers promised each other they would not return to work until Archbishop Mannix was released by the British Government to travel as he pleased .d until all the officers and men of the British crew of the Baltic were discharged from the service of the White Star Line. Officers of the Baltic when she ar- rived in port admitted that it weuld have been the best policy to have landed Archbishon Mannix at Queens- town on the eastward voyage, They added that the prelate preserved his good humor when removed by Eng- lish detectives, who told him It would be best to go quietly. He submitted with a show of dignity, On the westward voyage nine priests of Irish parentage boarded at Cork harbor. They were taken to the Baltic on board a tender crowded with admirers waving Sinn Fein ban- ners, Others of the 1,797 passengers were the Right Rev. EB. V. Shayler, Hpiscopal Bishop 6f Nebraska; the Right Hon. W. A. Watt, formerly Australian Premier, and Australian representative to Spa, Sir Arthur Pease, and Cyarios H.
