DECISION WEEKS AWAY. Last Words on Terms Reported as Not Likely to Be Said for a Long Time. DUBLIN, Aug. 3.—The Bot intervened in the Irish negotin- tions, octal Mouncement by the Sinn Fein Ca‘inet this afternoon, A message which was delivercd to President De Valera by Bishop har of Dromore it was declared. No statement has been given out as to the nature of the message, but it fs believed that it was an appeal for &@ peaceful setilement question. Vatican hs according to an an- Mul- was not from Rome, ‘ne thing that is causing a renewed fee: ng of hope is the calling of a me\ ing of the national organization of the Sirin Fein party in Dublin to- day. The members, who represent all lasses of people, including clergy- men, farmers and business men, have Ro real authority over the acts of the Dail, but they will show by their at- titude the prevailing sentiment of the Irish masses towards peace. It is considered probable that the public session at which the terms of the repiy will be formally adopted will not be held until next week. Final arrangements depend on the progress of the discussions for the next few days. In conversation with the Dail Eireann’s members, one finds hope- ful feeling as to tne outcome of the negotiations still sustained and also learns that Premier Lloyd George :3 keeping im touch with the situation through official intermediaries. One thing clearly emerges from the misty atmosphere and this is that the last words on the peace terms are mot likely to be said for some wecks yet, even in the event of the failare ef the negotiations. Further efforts are in train to accommodate the Northern extremista, and a more eympathetic attitude toward the peacemakers is stated to be develop- img in the Belfast Cabinet. eee sila ocr FLAT CAR HITS B.

Under orders from T. H. tom, Third Vice President of the line, reporters were barred from Prer 1, | Hoboken, where the Allianca docked. |Capt. James A. Stone and other otfi- cers and all members of the crew were held aboard and ordered to say nothing until an inquiry had been held by officials of the line, which is Government owned. There was a division of opinion among the passengers as to whethe: Capt. Stone was justified in report that there was mutiny on his shtp and taking aboard a detachment of ma- rines from the battleship Connecticut. Capt. Stone is an elderly mariner, and it is claimed by some that he exagger- ated conditions. Others declare that there was danger to the officers and the passengers by reason of the dis- order prevalent among the crew. The {rouble on the Allianca appears to have been due to a combination of racial antipathy, union and non-union antagonism and West Indian rum. At any rate, the 104 passengers had an exciting time during the final stages of the voyage. The beginning of the disturbance dates back to the trip of the Allianca from New York to Cristobal. In the crew was James Cooney, a Britisher, who signed on as a water tender in an engine room crew of nine whites and nineteen negroes. He was the only British subject on the ship and was given to boasting about Britannia ruling the waves and expressing bis opinion of a country that would vote itself dry in sarcastic and belittling terms. ‘The American members of the en- gine room crew made life miserable for their “limey” shipmate and two days before the Allianca reached Cristobal some of them played a brutal practical joke on him while he was asleep. Cooney ran amuck in the fire room amd engine room with a revolver and Capt. Stone ordered him put in irons. At Cristobai he was arraigned be- fore a judge and exonerated. In the meantime trouble had developed in another quarter because Herman E. Jurce, the chief engineer, was a non- Rosbot- | (Continued on Second Page.)
