without authentic information as to the progress of later events. Normal telegraph, telephone, and mail services ]. with Ireland have not been restored, and the existing means of communi- cation are subject to such a strict cen- sorship that it is possible to obtain only fragmentary information. Such news despatches as came through this morning added little to the informa- ton contained in last nights official advices and stories of eye-witnesses.
 So far as offical reports show, the situation in Dublin is gradually being brought under control The most inn portant recent news, that the rebels have been driven out of St. Stephens green with bombs, sustaining heavy losses in killed, wounded and prison CTS, has not been confirmed officially. There seems to be no doubt, however, that the rebels are still in control of various parts of Dublin, and that street fighting continues with a lengthening list of casualties. It is reported the casualty list already ex- ceeds 100.
 Of the situation outside Dublin lit tie is known beyond the official admis- sion that the disaffection' has spread to various localities in the west and south of Ireland. Field Marshal French's statement of last night de- scribed these disturbances as local in character, and so far as has been re- veaIed by information which has passed the censorship they have not been attended by heavy fighting.
 100 Killed or Injured.
 Upward of one hundred persons have been killed or injured thus far in Dublin, a correspondent at Belfast of the Evening News reports in a dispatch filed last night. He says the rioters, hidden in houses command ing important street functions or covered by barricades in the streets, are keeping up a constant fusillade i The list of casualties continues to lengthen. It includes many civilians who, the correspondent says, have been picked off by Sim Fein snipers for no reason than they were 1AbeIieved to be loyal.
 The cordon of troops is being drawn gradually but surely around the rebel strongholds. The au- thorities are carrying on their diff cult task with the greatest fore bearance. Every effort is being made to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and damage.
 strangers who traverse some parts of the central portion of the city take their lives in their hands," the correspondent continues. Tn one or two instances rioters shot down women and children. Opposite the Shelbourne Hotel still lies the carcass cf a horse shot on Tuesday as this region has been too dangerous to permit of it's removal
 Members of the Sim Fein requisi- z toned all motor cars entering the Sity and used them for transporting rifles and ammunition to concentra- ton points. At the law courts they indulged in an orgy of destruction. They sacrificed many valuable books from the reference library and tore up quantities of documents.
 T am unable to state that Lady Wimborne (wife of the lord lieu tenant of Ireland) and Sir Robert and Lady Anderson about whom there was much anxiety earlier in the week, are safe. All visitors to Ireland are being questioned closely and no one is allowed to leave Dublin without a permit. Many persons who crossed from Holyhead are being held up at Kingstown."
 Rebels Well Organized.
 The times publishes an account ~by an eye witness of the Dublin up- rising which emphasizes the excellent organization of the rebels and the fairly successful efforts of the leaders to restrain rioting This account says:
 Civilians were not molested in the streets and much Of the firing was of blank cartridges. There was m effort to show that the movement was strictly military in character and directed only against the gov srnment, not against the populacc. There was little footing but only
