Rebels in Irish Capital Said
To Be Still Holding
Out
CITY STILL CUT OFF
Principal Part of Place in Hands Of
Insurgents. But Troule is Not
Spreading

London, April 26-Prompt and ener-
getic steps were being taken by the
government today to put down the
serious insurrection of Sim Fem
volunteers at Dublin. The censor per-
mits this fact without other details
to be cabled.
Dublin is still cut off from tele-
graphic communication and, accord
ing to the best available information,
the principal part of the Irish cap
ital is still in the hands of the rebels.
1t is believed that serious fight
ing between the Sim Fein forces and
the government troops continues,
though the revolt thus far has not
spread to other districts.
The general postoffice. captured at
the beginning of the disorders. is
still. il is believed. in the hands OF
the rebels.
The Daily Chronicle points out edi-
toriallv that the official statement
from the press bureau last night DID
not claim the recapture Of IAN re-
portant position seized by the rebels"
and remarked that this omission sug-
gests that the rebels are still hold
ing out.
Twelve men had been killed on the
governments side according to the
last report received from Dublin.
The number Of casualties among the
rebels is not known. 1t is believed &c
be considerably heavier, as they were
facing an organized military force.
Dispatches from several parts OF
Ireland agree that thus far the re-
volt has not spread beyond Dublin.
The official press bureau stated that
reports from Cork, Limerick, and En-
mis-, capital of the County Clare. 20
miles west-northwest of Limerick, as
we'll as from Tarlee, seaport and
capital of County Kerry. 50 miles
northwest of Cork, and from other rid
ings of Tipperary were to the effect
that no disturbances of any kind had
occurred in these localities.

Massachusetts, will be represented
in the Republican national conven-
tion by an unpledged delegation. The
returns leave little doubt that the
unpledged group of candidates for
delegates at large, headed by Gov.
Mccall have defeated the ticket
whose members had declared them
selves for the candidacy of former
President Roosevelt. Returns from the
primary election in New Jersey for
presidential delegates indicate that,
in contests in the Republican party
between delegates pledged to Col.
Roosevelt and those preferring to go
to the Chicago convention unpledged,
the unpledged candidates were sue
cessful.
