Gen. Sir Arthur Paget visited Cur

Third cavalry brigade the option of
taking command at Ulster or retiring.
General Cough, who was allowed two
hours for consideration, resigned i'm
mediately. The Observer says also
that the government has decided to
issue 200 warrants for the arrest of
the leaders in Ulster.

lief, based on reports from the differ
ent regiments. was that the number of
Withdrawals had crippled the whole
military organization in Ireland and
prevented carrying out the orders for
moving several large bodies of troops.
The Marquis of Londonderry, one of
the Ulster leaders, said that nothing
of the sort had occurred in the British
army since the days Of the American
revolution.
The entrance OF King George on the
scene as peacemaker was the dramatic
event of the day He had long confer

Colonel Seely, and several high Off
GERS, and afterward summoned Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, who had been
criticized by the liber ais for utter

enlargement to the officers to refuse
to obey orders.
Meantime the movement of troops
continued in Ireland The center Of
interest shifted to Curragh, 25 miles
from Dublin, where the Third cavalry
brigade under General Cough and the
Fourteenth infantry brigade under
Colonel Rolf were stationed
A Dublin dispatch said that the res
ignation from the Curragh forces
numbered 40 Other adyices placed
the number at 100.
Many rumors We're aflOat throughout

denied were reports that the govern
ment had issued an ultimatum to the
officers giving them 70 hours to decide
whether to obey orders and that two
companies of the Dorsetshire regiment
