QUIET NOW PREVAILS
IN MANY SECTIONS
Government Confident That Present
Uprising Will Be Successfully
Scotched. !
THE OUTBREAK IS DECRIED
John Redmond and Sir Edward Car
son Get Many Messages From
Irish Citizens in
Colonies.

LONDON, April 2S.-The dis
turbances in Dublin are being
quelled effectually. Only in iso-
lated places is there any disorder,
according to dispatches from
Drogheda.
Individually, the members of
the cabinet express confidence
that the military forces on the
spot can deal successfully with
the Irish movement. On the po-
litical side the position is much
more satisfactory, Mr.. Redmond
and Sir Edward Carson being in
agreement that no political capi-
tai is to be made out of the
troubles.
Rising Passions AIlayed.
Premier Asquith's promise, in behalf
of the government, of searching in.
vestigation into the origin of the move-
ment and his acceptance of full re-
sponsibility. together with the speeches
of the Irish nationalist and unionist
leaders. expressing their desire to do
everything in their power to assist the
government, went far to allay the ris-
ing passions of the house, which had
been shown in demands for the resig-
nation of Augustine Birre1l, chief sec
ofu fne Ir0I
the lord lieutenant, and other ohicfale,
alleged to be responsible in disregard
ing warnings as to what was likely to
happen from the Sim Fein agitation.
Sir Edward Carson offered to place his
Ulster volunteers at the disposition OF
the government to help in suppressing
the rebellion.
Dublin is further from London than
Peking is from New York. so far as
communication for the general public
is concerned. No Irish newspapers have
reached here since the rising, and pas
senger traffic has been for the most
part suspended. The only information
comes through official channels.
England Not Fearful.
England naturally is extremely anx-
ious about the Irish situation, but no
fears are expressed that the govern
ment will not be able to suppress the
rising The casualties thus far do not
exceed what might have occurred in
civil riots, but more severe fighting is
likely to follow before quiet is re-
stored in Dublin.
The extent of the seditious movement
is for the present governmental Sc

coast of ireland that Sir Roger Case
ment's expedition, consisting OF SUD
marine and a steamer. was intending 10
land munitions when the steamer was
captured by a patrol BOAT
In the north of Ireland. SO lar as as
known, there has been no disturbance
a direct dispatch from Londonderry re-
porting complete order.
Rebellion Is Scorned.
From Sydney, Melbourne. Adelaide
and other parts of the empire came a
food of cablegrams to Mr.. Redmond.
repudiating the action of the rebellious
elements in Dublin and expressing
scorn at what they have done while
brave Irish soldiers are dying at the
front that their country may prosper.
incidentally, the messages express
the fullest confidence in Mr.. Redmond
and the Irish parliamentary party.
Some of them were given out Tor pup

from sydney. signed MacCarthy,
reads:
THE sectional pro-German rioting
disgusts home rulers here. Take heart
Our race is with you and our gallant
countrymen at the 'front.'
Viewed With Adherence.
From Melbourne came a message
signed "O'Connen." reading: The
Irish i'm Victoria view with abhorrence
the futile and meaningless rebellion at
Dublin, and sympathize with the ma
tional party in the cruel struggle
against the criminal efforts of an in
Significant minority to thwart the
noble object of peace and reconciliation
which was almost accomplished.
such fanatics betray gross ingratt-
tude for the benefits Ireland has re-
ceived through long agitation and the
of the Irish abroad. as we'll

British and other democracies. Brave
Irish soldiers are dying at the front

nobility of sacrifice should shame all
the wreckers of Ireland's future. The
guilt of the horrible bloodshed at Dub
