DUBLIN,

An exporter OF i've StOck, lFOIu Llc
Liffey, who had to remain at this side
of the Channel during the Dublin in
surrection, has summed up his expert
ences in the following fashion: II
have lived all my life under the Brit
ish government; have lived four days
under an Irish Republican govern
ment; and l have lived for two days
under bed!"
The dislocation of trade caused by
the fires has driven thousands of
shopkeepers and others to temporary
premises in various parts of Dublin.
One firm which had carried on a
branch business in Henry street has
introduced touch of humor into its
announcement displayed in an estab-
lishment in Grafton street. The no.
tice reads: Our Henry street branch
has been transferred to this address"
Below these words is piece of partly
burned wooden shop fitting about two
feet long and six inches broad. An
arrow points to the wooden fragment,
and below it are the words: Here
it is The only relic left"
The only clock in the general post
Office which has survived the wreck
age of the building hangs ON the walls
of the Princes street side of the prem
Uses. 1t was stopped at 1925 o'clock.
The glass over this clock was intact,
and an almost entire range of large
electric arc light globes in the court
yard also escaped damage, although,
of course, their feeding wires were de.
stroyed.
At least two Dublin T. C.'s have
disappeared as result of the insur-
rection. Mr.. r. O'Carroll mansion
House) and Mr.. w. T. Cosgrave (Ush-
ers quay. In addition, four members
are known to have been arrested and
detained, including Aid. T. Kelly, Mr..

The bodies of number OF soldiers,
Sim Feiners and others, killed during
the instruction and buried in the
grounds of Dublin Castle, were ex-

deposited in pits some ten or twelve
feet square. They were placed in cof-
fins and removed for refinement at
Glasnevin, Grangegorman and other
cemeteries.

The total claims for compensation
for damage to property in Dublin are
estimated at over G3,250,OO0.
Many of the references to the Re.
publican flag which the Dublin insur-
gents hoisted on the roof of the post
Office have been misleading AS a
matter Of fact there were two flags
flown from the post office. One of
them was the Irish green flag, emilia
zoned with a harp The other flag
was the flag of the Republic, and it
was made up Of horizontal bands of
green and white and orange.
While about $50 prisoners were be-.
Ing conveyed along the Quays last
week for deportation they were loud
Nv cheered by score of men near
Butt Bridge, and there were cries of
up, lads; don't be downheart-
ed" to which 16-year-old prisoner
replied, "Never, until Ireland is ma.
zion once again."
The damage done during the out
|hreak to the electric arc lighting sys.
tenn is estimated at s1,05O. In the
majority of cases the broken lamps
we're beyond repair.
