GREAT PORTION OF IRISH
PEOPLE DISPLAYING LOYALTY

Dublin, April 29.-Baron VIM
borne, lord lieutenant Of Ireland, told
the Associated Press today that the
seditious movement would be sup
pressed in the course of a few days.
He said the greater portion Of the
Irish people were displaying loyalty,
and the damage from the outbreak
is small.
Baron Wimberne admitted that the
rebels had ATTACKED Dublin castle on
Monday, the same day theiy seized
the postoffice and Stephen Green. He
said that by Tuesday morning troops
had arrived In the city from Curragfi
and after that the rebels attempted
nothing but sniping. At present, he
said, they have barricaded Sackville
street and are in possession of all
houses there. Encounters took place
in the counties of Wexford, Meath,
and Tough, but on the whole Ire
land is quiet. This, he said, applied
to Limerick, Kerry, Clare, Kilkenny,
Mayo, Sligo, Tipperary, Leitrim, Kill
dare, Roscommon and all of Ulster

not to appeal the recently enacted
law regulating the "tippling houses"
This had been contemplated by a
number Of them. The proprietors
also decided to obey the new law to
the letter, closing their places of
business each night at 10 o'clock and
not reopening them until the follow
ing morning. They also win see that
all places are closed on Sunday.
n deciding not to appeal from the
new law, which becomes effective to-
morrow, the proprietors, however, wiz
insist that the city officials enforce
the law on all alike and not permit
persons to engage in business who
are not licensed to do so. In other
words, they want all the sbIina IT,

To Benefit By
Gulf Highway
Lagoon Could Be Made
AS Famors AS New
Orleans West End.

In speaking of the proposed high
way to the Gulf Beach yesterday, j.
G. Watson said: 81 think it is one
of the best plans ever put forth IN
Pensacola, especially as it will afford
US means Of access to the gulf
beach without having to cross water.
"But the angle that I wish to dis
cuss the matter from is the stand
point of the yachtsman. see no rea-
son why, if the plan is fully devel-
open that that section cannot become
the west End" of Pensacola, much
as the "West End" of New Orleans.
1t would mean a great thing to this
city to have such resort, one that
could be used as much in winter as
in summer.
with only a short distance of the
bar dredged accommodation could be
made for boats of medium draught
and those that could not enter the
lagoon could find safe anchorage i'm.
mediately outside, which would be in
finitely better than the berths that
] we now have to offer them.
