lst). Rebels of the rank and file followed
the example of their leaders this morning
and confessed the cause of the Irish Re-
public was lost by laying dow their arms at
the foot OF the Parnell monument IN Sack
vile Street, and surrendering to British
troops. About $50 of them, who had fought
since Monday IN this central area, marched
out from strongholds under the white flag
and gave themselves up. A few irreconclla-
bles conducted SHIPPING from lairs difficult to
locate, on roofs or among rafters of buildings
near by. Soon afterwards q rebel Lieutenant,
wearing q heather green uniform and carry
ing q white flag came IN with a guard OF ten
men from the adjoining County of Meath to
learn the truth about rumours of a general
surrender. The party marched off to the
Castle and learned from J. P. Pearce, who
had been named Provisional President Of
the Irish Republic, that the movement had
collapsed, and was advised to resist NO
longer. The Lieutenant and his escort then
started out to parley with the out
laws in the country districts in an
effort to induce them to lay down their arms.

uprising, is said by Government officials to
be a prisoner wounded in the Castle.

Paris, MAY 1st.-The battle of Verdun,
SAYS q somi- official statement, appears to be
r|eviving somewhat but with none of its
former violence. There is a great difference,
the statement adds, between the random
attempts, which are crushed almost as soon
as they are begun, and the massed attacks
of February 21st and April 9th. After sixty
days of struggle, as tremendous us IT is vain,
the German effort cannot renew itself with
the same intensity. Not only has the Ger
man offensive hitherto failed in as much as
it has not secured it's chief object Verdun,
but it has considerably enfeebled the often
sive power of the enemy's fighting forces.
