In the Missouri river above Florence,
the ice shows signs of breaking. The

gan on April "a was caused by the
preparations OF the authorities to dis
arm the Irish volunteers. was made
by Robert r. Ford OF the Irish World
in a telegram sent tonight 10 Secre-

Included in the telegram was y
copy of orders Mr.. Ford declared had
been issued by the military authorities
IN ireland for the arrest of all the

and the Gaelic league and the occu-
patton OF their headquarters. These
orders, he said were read at q meet
ing of the Dublin corporation on
April 10 and were to become effective
upon receipt OF an order from the

tie.

The popnlace was awakened at 2
O'clock Friday morning. Searchlights
in the harhor soon caught the intru-
der, which was directly over the town
and hurricane of shells were thrown
at It. The new French incendiary
projectiles made an interesting spec
tacle. They lighted up the whole
town as they shot upward.

bearings and turned toward the sea,

oped in cloud of vapor.
Nothing more was heard for half
an hour. when two loud reports, fol-
lowed by great flare lasting several
seconds betrayed the fact that the
airship had met its fate close to the
estuary OF the Nardar river. The
vrews on the warships in the harbor
choered the end of the raider. Much
credit is due to n French airman who
ascended in pursuit of the Zeppelin
and claims TO have dropped two
