ULSTER IN AN UPROAR,
DUE TO BAN ON ARMS
Rifles and Ammunition Hidden,
Following Royal Proclamation
Forbidding Importation.
Premier Asquith Accepts Terms Pro
posed as Basis of Cancellation
in Ireland.

BELFAST, Ireland. December 6.-The
greatest excitement has been created
among the rank and file of the Ulster
unionists by the royal proclamation pro-
hibiting the importation of arms and
ammunition into Ireland. During the
night large quantities of rifles. bayonets
and munitions of war were moved from
Belfast to country towns in automobiles
for fear the government authorities
might put the Irish crimes act into force
and seize the war stores already collected.
The customs authorities made their
first seizure under the terms of the proc
lamation this morning, when they de-
tanned eighty-nne cases of ammunition
and eight cases of rifles and bayonets.
Cabinet Acts at Last.
LONDON. December 6.-The British
cabinet, by a royal proclamation pro-
mulgated last night prohibiting the inn
portation of arms and ammunition into
Ireland, for the first time grasped the
nettle of the revolution in Ulster, which
it had hitherto ignored. although the
followers of Sir Edward Carson for
months have been advertising their mill
tary preparations and daring interfer-
ence with them.
Almost at the time of publication of
the proclamation Premier Asquith made

Never was a siege conducted more
rigorusly than that concentrated on
Adrianople. From the outset no single
scrap of reliable information was al
lowed to leak out to the waiting civil
lied world. One fact alone gave the
anxious Turks in the capital comfort.
That was the assurance of those with
positive knowledge that Adrianople
was the one spot in Turkey on which
military funds had been properly ex-
pended, and that Adrianopie was prac-
tically impregnable to all forces at the
command of King Ferdinand and his
