RANK AND FILE FOLLOW EXAM
PIE OF LEADERS, ADMIT THEIR
PLANS A FAILURE.
LAY DOWN ARMS
Four Hundred and Fifty who Fought
Since Last Monday, Surrender to
British Troops-Most Of them Will
be Taken to English Prisons.

Dublin, May 1.-The rebels of the
rank and file today followed the eX,
ample of the leaders and confessed
that the cause of the Irish republic
is lost, by laying down their arms at
the foot of the Parnell monument on
Sackville street, and surrendering to
the British troops.
About four hundred and fifty who
fought since Monday, marched out of
their strongholds under a white flag
and gave themselves up. A few ir-
reconcilables continued sniping.
Most of those who surrendered, will
be taken to prisons in interior Eng
land.
A mandate has been sent out advis-
ing the rebels of the failure of the up
rising. The fate of the prisoners is
now in the governments hands, which
possesses wide powers under the
martial law. The Irish commandant,
j. Fl. Pearce, who was wounded in the
leg, is school master.
