Dublin. Ireland. July 2S.-The city of
Dublin and the greater part of Catholic
was IOudy III u Sldle OIL The
greatest excitement over yesterdays
conflict between the regular troops of
the British army and the Irish nation
aiists ~(Catholics) which resulted in the
Killing Of four persons and the wound
Ing of many others, 40 of whom were
In hospitals today in a serious condi-
ton.
Day had dawned before the police
succeeded in dispensing the crowds
marching through the streets singing
patriotic songs and looking for soldiers
OF the second battalion of the Kings
own Scottish borderers on whom to
fnflict vengeance for the fatal events
OF yesterday when the borderers We're
ordered out to prevent the landing of
arms and ammunition for the Irish
nationalist volunteers.
The crowd, finding that the soldiers
a been ordered to remain in bar
racks, attacked the Royal barracks
where the borderers are stationed, and
clamored for the soldiers to come out.
Finally the mob kicked down a gate of
the barracks and fired a couple Of
shots on which bugles were sounded,
the police came on the scene n the
crowd was dispersed. The nationalist
leaders tax the most serious view Of
the affair and will demand PREPARATION
from the government.
The landing Of arms yesterday for
the ~nationalists was carried out in a
more daring amer than similar feats
achieved by the Ulster unionist volun-
teers as it was effected in daylight.
The yacht from which the arms and
ammunitio were brought ashore al
ready had landed $500 rifles and 1885,
600 rounds of ammunition at isolated
points along the coast and those had
been successfully distributed by motor
cars among the nationalist volunteers.
Yesterdays attempt vas undertaken
to show that the nationalist could do
what the Ulster unioniStS had done.
At Howth $500 rifles and 100, 900
rounds of ammunition were landed
under the Eyes Of the police, the tele-
graph wires having been cut to pre-
vent communication with Dublin.
Automobiles carried off 1900 of the
rifles and all the ammunition, and a
body of nationalist volunteers then
started for Dublin with 1000 rifles but
no ammunition.
The police sent to intercept the
volunteers, cheered the gun inner
and everything seemed to be going
smoothly until the battalion of Scottish
borderers arrived and demanded that
the arms be surrendered.
The nationalist volunteers refused
to give up the rifles, and the soldiers
charged with liked %bayonets, wounding
a number of the volunteers. While
the leaders of the volunteers and the
regimental officers were parleying, the
rank and file of the volunteers scat
tered and got away with the rifles.
The lord mayor of Dublin today de-
manded in the interests Of the peace
of the city that the battalion of the
Scottish borderer be removed. Move
ments in the barracks indicated that
preparations We're being made to send
the regiment elsewhere. The gates of
the barracks were guarded by a strong
force of police.
