Ten Are Slain.

Dublin, May 3.-At least 500 rebels
were killed and 1900 wounded in the
seven days of fighting in the streets
of Dublin, it was estimated by SOL
diers who completed a canvass of the
city.
This estimate is conservative, otii-
GERS said Rebel bodies were found
beneath the ruins of the general post
office, which was wrecked by British
shell fire; in Liberty hall and in a
number of other buildings demolished
by artillery or burned to the ground.
Bodies Beneath Ruins.
The number of casualties was far
in excess of early estimates and many
bodies are believed to lie beneath ruins
still unsearched.
The Dublin hospitals are overlooking
with wounded, including many women
and children. AS rapidly as possible,
persons suffering from slight wounds
are discharged to make room for those
whose condition is more serious.
Lord Donoughmore, former COM
mander of the British forces in Egypt
and a former member Of the British
cabinet. is among the wounded. He
was shot while motoring to his coun-
try home north of Dublin, escaping,
however, with only a flesh wound.
Last VoIIey Fired.
A small body OF rebels, determined
to die hard, fired the last volley of the
Dublin rebellion on Monday night
from position near the Westland sta
ton, which was captured by the rebels
early last week. The crackle of gov
eminent machine guns followed-then
ominous silence. The whole party
had been wiped out.
In other parts Of the island there
was still some fighting, though it too
was dying down. Official announce
ment was made that the Sim Feiners
of Cork laid down their arms. Mill
tary authorities OF Wexford county
are making wholesale arrests among
the rebels.
The city is resuming its normal life.
Shops are reopening and the people OF
Dublin are getting their first square
meals in several days. Those without
money are provided with army ra'
! tons.
There was almost q holiday spirit
| in the city. All through the center OF
the city, which for a week was the
/ scene OF lighting, people walked about
freely, looking at the ruins in Sack
Vile street.
4 Hundreds of persons gathered at the
post office in search of souvenirs.
The havoc in the business district of
the Irish capital is appalling. First re-
! ports were wholly inadequate in de-
| scribing the desolation and destruc-
! ton. Many bodies still lie beneath
! the ruins.
Ten Policemen Slain.
Belfast, May 3, via LOndOn.-One OF
the most tragic affairs of the rebellion
was the ambushinG OF party of police
in County Heath b rebels, with the
result that ten Of the police were
/ killed. eighteen wounded and the rest
compelled to surrender.

Scott Continues Conference With

MAY DECIDE ON JOINT HUNT
"First Chief" Offers to Put $4,000 Men
In the Field to Guard U. S. Bor-
der If American Army Is
Withdrawn.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 3.-An agree
ment is believed to have been reached
between Generals Scott and Obregon
on the status of the United States
punitive expedition in Mexico.
The conference of the American
chief of staff and the Mexican minis
ter of war was continued without a
sign of interruption until four o'clock,
when stenographer was sent for.
General Funston in the meantime
had come to the hotel where the con-
ference was being held and waited,
apparently expecting to be summoned.
Shortly after General Funstons ar
rival word was sent to General Ire
vino to come to the hotel. 1t ap-
peared that formal meeting, which
might end the negotiations, was about
to be held between Generals Scott,
Funston, Obregon and Trevino.
AS the American generals were
ready to submit detailed plans for CO.
operation between the CarranZa and
American forces in the pursuit of Vii
la and his bandits, it is thought that
the object of the formal conference
may be adoption of such plan.
