+'.-, Munitions Give Out. ,='
Dublin, via London, May AFTER
q night Of desultory sniping which
awakened into feVerish bursts of ac-
tiVity at varying intervals, the sixth
morning Of the Irish rebellion was
quiet in the capital. The authorities
believe that either the ammunition
supply Of the rebels in running low
or that 1t is being conserved for a
last desperate effort
Fires still are burning in the Sack
vile street center. Throughout the
night the flames rose high above the
roofs. 1t was, Of course, impossible
for the tirenneh to do anything to fight
the conftagration as both sides still
were sniping each other. e"
| The military authorities are unable
to give any idea OF the damage done
by these fires, or of the number of
buildings consumed. They think, how.
ever, that twenty houses, mainly bust
ness concerns, have been destroyed.
