Dublin, May 3.--At least 500 rebels
were killed and 1900 wounded in the
seven days of fightiOg in the streets
of Dublin, it was estimated by SOL
diers who completed canvass OF the
city.
This estimate is conservative, on
GERS said. Rebel bodies were found
beneath the ruins of the general post
office. which was wrecked by British
shell fire; in Liberty hall and in a
number of other buildings demolished
by artillery or burned to the ground.
Bodies Beneath Ruins.
The number of casualties was far
in excess of early estimates and many
bodies are believed to lie beneath ruins
still unsearched.
The Dublin hospitals are overfowing
with wounded, including many women
and children. AS rapidly as possible.
persons suffering from slight wounds
are discharged to make room for those
whose condition is more serious.
Lord Donoughmore, former com
mander of the British forces In Egypt
and a former member OF the British
cabinet. is among the wounded. He
was shot while motoring to mis- coun-
try home north of Dublin, escaping,
however, with only flesh wound.
Last volley Fired.
A small body of rebels, determined
to die hard, fired the last yolley of the
dublin rebellion on Monday night
from a position near the Westland sta
ton. which was captured by the rebels
early last week. The crackle of gov
eminent machine guns followed-th
ominous silence The whole party
had been wiped out.
In other parts of the island there
was stiIl some fighting, though it too
was dying down. Official announce
ment was made that the Sim Feiners
of Cork laid down their arms. Mill.
tary authorities Of Wexford county
are making wholesale arrests among
the rebels.
The city is resuming its normal life
Shops are reopening and the people Of
Dublin are getting their first square
meals in several days. Those withou
money are provided with army ra
tons.
There was almost a holiday spiri
in the city. All through the center o
the city. which for a week was the
scene of fighting, people walked abou
freely, looking at the ruins in Sack
Vile street.
Hundreds of persons gathered at thu
post office in search of souvenirs.
The havoc in the business district o
the Irish capital is appalling. First re
ports were wholly inadequate in de
scriblng the desOlatiOn and destruc
ton. Many bodies still lie beneath
the ruins.

taken from the territory of Chief Fire
Warden r. L. Brick of the Chesun-

Forestry Commissioner Mace is en-
deavoring to secure permission from
the Great Northern Paper Co. for the
fire wardens to ride on the company's
auto trucks which run to Ripogenus

of transportation might be the means
of saving a heavy fire loss by being
earlier on the ground.
The Forestry department has begun
making up the list Of fire wardens,

would suppose. The State now has So

Charities and Corrections

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections has authorized the publ
cation of the following summary of
conditions at the Brunswick aims
house and South Portland City home.
Brunswick AImshouse.
General conditions: Cleanliness
good. Repair-fair. the house is very
old. Furniture-sufficient Beds and
Bedding-clean and comfortable. San
itation-Toilet rooms were fairly
clean, but the plumbing is bad, and
Notwithstanding open windows, the
odor was offensive. Care Of food sup
plieS-good.
Recommendations Either this house
should be remodelled and repaired, or
new one built, perhaps farther out
of the village. Especially should the
present insanitary toilet rooms be
overhauled and provided with new
plumbing as soon as possible. Re-
arrangement of stairways and toilet
rooms is needed to provide for better
separation of sexes.
In connection with the foregoing re-
port the chairman of the selectmen
advises the board that at the last an
nual town meeting held in March, a
committee of five were appointed to
investigate better conditions Of the
almshouse. That committee will prob
ably report at some future date.
Whether this report will be for new
almshouse or for remodeling the old
one, l am unable to say. While the
selectmen realize the conditions Of the
toilet, and the old fashioned plumbing
which now exists. and has for some
years, and also realize that something
should be done to make a separation
of the sexes, we do not feel it advis-
able to expend any amount of money
until this committee reports. We can
practically assure your board that
something in the very near future for
better conditions will be done.
South Portland City Home.
General conditions: Cleanliness, re-
pair furniture, beds and bedding and
sanitation, good; care of food sup
plies, very good. Church services are
held here every other Sunday. I'm
provements: Three hospital rooms
opened-considerable painting and
papering.
The next regular meeting Of the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
lions will be held Thursday evening at
the Falmouth hotel at Portland.
The State Board Of Charities and
Corrections has granted a license to
the following persons to maintain a
boarding house for children: Mrs. Jo-
seph Davenport. Moody road, Lisbon;
Mrs. Lee Thomas. Poland r. F. D. 2.
Mechanic Falls, limit 4.
