If the strets of Tonopah were quiet
last night it was due to the big noise

night was far spent that their fears
were allayed and the candidates came
to the conclusion that the dreaded

after all. After the ceremonies ban
auet was served and entertainment
was furnished by Prof Thomas and

GENERAL PERSHiNG

WASHINGTON. d. c., Apr. 26. -
The German situation is regarded as
having passed the crucial stage and
now the cabinet is absorbed In con-
temptation of what Is going to be the
policy in Mexico. General Scott, the
man who Is famous for his medicine
talks and peacemaking appeals has
recommended .aat the troops now
across the Rio Grande, not alone be
permitted to remain on the trail but
be authorized to proceed as far into
the interior as they feel necessary to
penetrate until the object of the puni-
tive expedition is attained. Moreover,
when II comes TO showdown, Car.
rama will be notified that the Ameri
can people will not tolerate any fur
ther Interference with the transporta
tion OF military supplies. II any OBJ
lection Is offered General Funston will
be authorized TO seize and operate the
railroads to furnish facilities for ship
ping ammunition and foodstuffs TO the
troops at the front.
This Is considered the equivalent O
an ultimatum. The order may b'
amended but this Is what Gen. Scot
thinks should be done II the homo
Of the nation is to be maintained.

LONDON, Apr. 26.-Martial law has
been proclaimed in the city and coun-
ty of Dublin, according to an announ-
cement in the house of commons. The
troops have arrived at Dublin from
Belfast and England Liberty Hall,
headquarters of the Dublin rebels and
Stephens Green captured by them have
been occupied by the militia, Secre-
tary Asquith announced.
Lord W:nbourne, governor general
of Ireland is prisoner in the hands
of the Sim Fein revolutionists whose
bold stroke in capturing the post office
has aroused the gravest anxiety in
London. The uprising was greater
and better planned than first sup
posed. The rebels were well armed
and their movements were directed by
a master hand. Marked discipline was
feature of the outbreak which was
so well conceived that the authorities
did not have an inkling of the con
spiracy until the insurrecti0n actu
ally took place. In proof of this 1t Is
heralded that the sarrisons In Ire
land had been depleted by calls from
the western front in France and thai
only nominal force remained al
home guards.
There is no doubt but that tn
sinews of war were furnished by Gel
man agents as the revolt was time
| for the arrival of the landing fore
| that was repulsed with the captur
| OF Sir Roger Easement. Lord VIII
bourne will be held as a hostage fo
| the safe return of Easement.
