seven days of fighting in the streets
Of Dublin is the estimate given by
England's soldiers, according to press
dispatches. who completed a canvass
of the city and is said to be a con-
sentative estimate.
The largest number of bodies were
found beneath the ruins of the gen.
eral postoff1ce, wrecked by England's
shell fire, in liberty hall and a num-
Der of other buildings demolished by
artillery or burned to the ground.
The number of casualties was far in
excess of early estimates and many
bodies are believed to lie beneath
ruins still unseareched.
The Dublin hospitals are overflow
ing with wounded, including many
women and children non-combatants.
AS rapidly as possible persons suffer
ing from slight wounds are dis
charged to make room for those
whose conditions are more serious.
Lord Donoughmore, former command
er Of British forces in Egypt and a
former member Of England's cabinet,
is among the wounded, he was shot
while motoring to his country home
north of Dublin, escaping, however,
with only a flesh wound.
A small body of patriots, deter
mined to die hard, fired the last vol

day evening, from position near
the Westland station, which was cap

week. The crackle of England's ma

That the National convention of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians will be
one of the greatest ever held in the
history of the organization is the plan
of the Hibernians of Boston in which
city the convention will convene next
July. Extensive plans are under way
for the entertainment of the 1900
delegates. The committees in charge

rate will be established at the Copley-
Plaza. in the main hall of which the
convention day and evening sessions
will be held.
Sixteen years have elapsed since
the national convention of the A. o..
ii. was held i'll Boston, and it is
claimed by the Boston members as
the high water mark compared with
conventions in other cities, and the
Boston committee for 1916 is now
planning to lift the tide-mark sew
eral nOtches higher especially as
special convention rates will be made
by all railroads.
The convention will be opened by
solemn services at the Cathedral of
the Holy Cross, at which Cardinal
O'Connell will preside.
During the weeks stay of the dele
gates there will be harbor excursions,
trips to the North and South shores,
visits to the historic spots which make
Boston and its vicinity the most inter
esting place in America, and banqucts
with oratory and music

for the freedom of their country. The
Hibernians have decided not to take
any action as an organization, but in.
dividual members have declared that
they are willing to do anything with
in their rights as American citizens to
help their stricken brethren.

Fake Letter Exposed
attempt TO DIscREDIT Mexican BISHOP F0llED-BANDI1
Chief DENIES EXPECTATION OF PRIEsTs.--INTENDED
As UNFRIENDLY ACT AGAINST CHURCH

General p. Elias Gales, military gov
ernor of Sonora, who few weeks ago
issued a decree expelling all Cath
Ole priests from that state, in state
ment to the American press declared
that this action was taken because the
priests had been spreading the Cos
pei of strife and Intervention, instead
of the gospel of God" and, more spe-
officially, that they had been active in
supporting the Cientif1co faction" He
added: II wish everyone to under.
stand that the deportation of these
priests is not intended by the consti-
tutional government as an unfriendly
act towards the Catholic Church Of
the state. The men were sent away
merely as undesirable residents.
Should the Catholic Church desire to
send good priests to Mexico, the au-
thorities will welcome Them
AS regards the charges made, not a
syllable of proof is offered. In not a
single instance, of these priests ex-
PEELED from Sonora, have specific
charges been made, or evidence ad-
duced in any court; no opportunity
was given the priests to offer testi-
mony in their own defense; they were
simply and arbitrarily ordered to get
out"
In the constitutionalist organ, Gel

Gales tells of letter written from

claimed to have been Intercepted, and

ANOTHER ANTICATHOLIC
SOCIETY FOUNDED
LEADER REFUSES TO DIvuLeE NAME OF 0RDER.-sAYs
STRONG IN MINNESOTA.

A "secret, oath-bound order," osten-
sibly organized for the advancement
of Americanism, but whose real object
is anti-Catholic, is being organized in
New York City. The objects of the
movement are explained in circular
addressed to "the patriotic citizens"
and bearing the signature: William
Milton Hess, Trinity Church, 10th
street and Washington avenue, New
York City. To newspaper reporters
the Rev. Mr.. Hess declared that he
was not the organizer Of the society,
but that some young men who were
interested in it had asked him to at
tach his signature to the circular as
a place where further information
could be obtained. He admitted that
he was interested in the organization,
which, he said, was nationwide.
1T is very strong in Minnesota,
Florida and Illinois," he said. 1--WE
are trying now to get it started in
New York. Its chief object is the
advancement of Americanism."
"But the pamphlet bearing your
name is chiefly devoted to an attack
on Roman Catholics" it was called to
his attention.
"That is only one of the very many
Objects" he replied.
"What is the name of the society 2"
he was asked.
THAT is a secret"
Can you give the names of any
prominent men who are members?"
"No, the namet of the members
are secret also. The order does not
want any publicity, it's only hope of
success is to work secretly"
The Rev. Mr.. Hess admitted that
many persons who were connected
with the Guardians Of Liberty were
now in the new organization.

the new organization is replete with

During the debate on the Philip.

lively tilt when reference was made
to the present Irish instruction. Mr..
Gallivan said that he was an Irish
man, but he did not believe in inject.
ing racial and religious questions into

questions continued to be raised, in
stead of the present twenty odd
Democratic majority in the House,
there would be a majority of $50 Re.
publicans in the next congress.

Patrick Pearce, president of the
Irish republic; James Connolly, COM
mander of the army of the Irish re-
public; Thomas Marlborough and
Thomas Clark ware found guilty Of
treason by CO lrt-martial and shot
to death Wednes Hay morning.
Three other signers of the procla-
nation were sentenced to three years
Imprisonment each.
Their executions were announced in
the house of commons Wednesday
afternoon by Premier Asquith.
They were the first of the rebels
whose execution has been publicly an
nounced.
Practically all the prisoners have
now been removed from Dublin. About
three hundred more, including several
leaders, were brought to England
Wednesday and the remainder made
up largely of prisoners of the rank
and file were taken to Belfast under
heavy guard By the Irish troops.
The announcement was made by the
prime minister in the house of COM

after announcement was made that
Chief Secretary for Ireland Angus

sponsible for the Irish outbreaks. had
resigned from the British cabinet.

cuse is inadmissiblo, for Bishop Valde-
spinO denies that he has written any
such letter. The denial is in the form
of a sworn statement, in which the
charge of Governor Gales is quoted,
and followed by this specific declara-
ton:
II further authorize the statement
that the entire report as coming from
me is absolutely false, without the re-
hottest semblance of truth, given out
for the purpose of prejudicing the
minds of the Mexican people against
the Catholic people, If not directly

out by the Associated Press to the
newspapers Of the country, and the
American people may decide for them
selves whether to take the unsupport-
ed word of a Mexican bandit, or the
solemn sworn declaration of vener-
able ecclesiastic of irreproachable
character.

the leave-taking of the priests, and
