ONDON, April 27.-1O:10 p. m.)
l. Martial law has been declared
throughout Ireland and MaJor-Geh-
eraj Sir John Maxwell. who until re-
Gently commanded the troops in
Ervpt. has gone over to take charge,
the Irish executive officials having
Dlacod themselves under his instruc-
lions. He has been given full dis.
culinary powers for the extension OF
the operations and the suppression OF
the rebellion.
The revolt which broke out in Dub
lin Monday has spread to other parts
of Ireland. chiefly to the west ana
south. This information, together
with the fact that the rebels are stiil
I'm possession of parts OF the CITY or
Dublin. was given to the nation by
!. the ministers in parliament today.
Announces Spread.
Premier Asquith. who yesterday had
given reassurings news respecting the
situation in ireland, caused something &
of flutter of excitement TO-DAY III
the house of commons wheh ne an
nounced the spread of the movement
to other parts of Ireland, the reten-
tion bv the revolutionary forces of GER
tain carts of Dublin and the fact that
fighting was still going on in the
streets.
The government, the prime minis
ter further announced, was con-
vinced that the forces now in Ireland
and those proceeding there were ade-
uuate to deal with the situation.
Announce Revolt.
John Redmond. leader of the Irish
Nationalist party. and Sir Edward
r Carson, the Unionist leader, strong
opponents on the home rule question,
EXPRESSED their detestation of the ris-
ing and as consequence Premier
Asouith said he did not think it nee
essary to hold session of the house
Monday. as had been suggested by
one of the members ito make clear
to the world what true amount OF
support was behind the movement"
At the rising of the house the home
secretary, Herbert Samuel. was able
to announce the receipt OF informa-
ton that over considerable dis
tricts'' of ireland calm prevailed and
to repeat the prime minister's prom
ise that consistent with the military
tyigencies all the news available
would be published and the necessary
facilities granted to newspapermen.
W viii settle Matter
individually, the ministers express
confidence that the military forces on
the spot can deal successfully with
the movement ON the political side
the position is much more satlsfac-
tory, Mr.. Redmond AID Sir Edward
Carson being in agreement that no
political capital is to be made out or
the troubles.
Premier Asquith's promise in behalf
of the government of a searching in
vestigation into the origin of the
movement and his acceptance of full
responsibility together with the
speeches of the Irish Nationalist and
Unionist lsaders expressing their de-
sire to do R'ryIhing in their power
to assist the government went far to
allay the rising passions OF the pub
lie. which had been shown in de-
mands for the resignation of Angus
tine Birrell. chief secretary for Ire
land; Baron Wimborne the lord lieu
tenant and other officials alleged TO
he responsible IN disregarding warn
ines as to what was likely to happen
from the Sim Fein agitation.
Offers Troops.
Sir Edward Carson offered to place
his Ulster volunteers at the disposi-
ton of the government to help IN
suppressing the rebellion.
That a hopeful feeling prevailed in
parliament was seen in the fact that
iournment of the house to Tuesday
when the minister had promised that
this would not interfere with the is
suance of any available news.
Dublin is further from London to-
day than Peking is from New York
so far as communication for the gen.
eral public is concerned. No Irish
Newspapers have reached here since
the rising and passenger traffic has
far hn nNf
only information comes through Off
cial channels.
England naturally is extremely
arxious about the Irish situation but
no fears are expressed that the gov
ernment will not be able to suppress
the rising The casualties thus far do
not exceed what might have oc-
CURED in civil riots but more severe
fighting is likely to follow.
