DUBLIN REVOLT
Loyalty Of Irish Leaders and
Masses Shown to r
Britain
CAPITAL NOW QUIET
Arrival of Troops From London Dis
heartens Rioters-Assurances of
Support Given

London, April 27-The loyalty OF
the Irish Nationalist leaders and the
masses in Ireland to the British gov
ernment has resulted in the collapse
of the Dublin revolt.
Official dispatches today report the
situation now comparatively quiet IN
the Irish capital. 1t is possible more
fighting may occur while govern
ment troops are rounding up the Sim
Fein rebels, but the arrival of troops
from England apparently disheart-
ened the rebels, who lacked machine
guns.
The government has received as
surance of support from scores OF
Irish leaders who deplore the out
break at Dublin.
London, April 27-The censored
statement in this mornings Daily
News that the total casualties up
to date" in the Dublin revolt were
forty-two killed and forty-six wound
ed. has caused much uneasiness here.
Lord Lansdowne had previously
stated in the House of Lords that the
dead numbered nineteen and the
wounded twenty-seven. and the gov
ernment's policy all through the up
rising has been the reverse Of frank.
Reports that machine guns had
been used on the Sim Feiners persist
ed in spite of the denials, as did also
the information that the revolution
isst have been we'll armed.
News from private sources, out
side Dublin, declared that the los
ses among the revolutionists were
heavy, but they in turn did conside-
rable damage to Loyalist troops.
Fires started during the fighting did
much damage.
Amsterdam, April 27-rhe entire
Irish sea and the Atlantic waters to
the west and south of Ireland are
swatming with German submarines,
whose sole task is to sink every troop
transport destined for Ireland to
uuell the rebellion.
1t became known here yesterday
that the visit which Sir Roger Case
ment paid to the Irish coast on the
night of April 81, and which resulted
in his arrest by the British and the
sinking of the German auxiliary, with
which he had come, was not the first
the famous Irish nobleman paid to
his native shore since he has been
in Germany. Despite the fact that
there was a price of 5000 pounds
(s25 ,OOO) on his head, Sir Roger, it
is reported. had previously made sew
eral daring trips to the Irish coast,
all of which were successful.
Sir Roger is said to have succeed
ed in landing several times large
amounts of arms and ammunition and
explosives, which were hurriedly ia
ken into the interior by Separist
agents.
New York, April 27-At no time
since the outbreak of the war has the
lid of the British censorship been pres
sed as tight upon all cable messages
particularly to the United States, as
since, two nights ago, the tele-
graph ticker flashed the words ere
volt in Dublin"
The exact status of affairs in the
Irish capital can at the present mo-
ment only be inferred. The story OF
the Sim Fein rebellion is being told
not by what London cables say, but
by their omissions.
London, April 27-Sir Roger Case
ment will be executed within few
days, either by hanging or behead-
ing, it is stated in high naval circles.
New York, April 27-Papers which
show that prominent Irishmen and
I Germans in the United States exhr!
bited a keen interest in plans for
revolt in Ireland were found by Fe-
deral agents in their raid on the for
mer Offices here of Capt. Franz Won
Papen withdrawn German military at
tache, according to a statement made
by high government official. {.
