ASQU|TH RECEIVES
COOL WELCOME
IN BELFAST
Conference With Representative
Ulster Men Disappointing
SU'pICIOUS OF HOME RULE
Newspapers Advise Caution in Regard
to Any Promises Premier May
Make.

Belfast, May 15.-Stubborn disin-
clination to accept anything in the
way of a Government which might
imply the future subsection of Ulster
to home rule was evident today on the
occasion of Premier Asquith's visit to
Belfast, which lasted only few hours.
So far as can be learned the Premier's
conference with large body Of repre-
sentative Ulster men was disappoint-
ing.
1t is understood that the question Of
the general disarmament of forces in
Ireland not authorized by the Govern
ment was discussed, and, although
those present were pledged to secrecy,
it is rumored that cold water had been
thrown on the proposal. The discus
sion was very full and frank, but it is
asserted that the result was unsatis
factory.
A telegram from Sir Edward Carson
to the Ulster Unionist Council did not
bring about an alleviation of the situa-
ton Sir Edward wired:
Il know nothing whatever as to the

Belfast itself does not show any
signs of accepting the compromise,
which it is understood Mr.. Redmond
is ready to offer. listers capital was
| almost entirely unaffected by the re-
cent rebellion, and the provisions of
martial law have not been enforced.
Everything is outwardly calm. but

dealings with the Nationalists. All

are not yet public property.

COMMIT TEE LETS
CONTRACT FOR
HOSPITAL
BUILDING to Be Constructed by Nc
Dermott & Hanigan Of New York
LOWEST or FIVE BIDS, s8O,5OO
Award Stpulates that Work Shall be
Completed Not Later Than March
I, 1917.

McDermott & Hanigan, lnc of 103
Park avenue, New York, will build the
Henry w, Putnam memorial hospital.
The contract was awarded yesterday
at $50 500 and 1t is stipulated that the
structure shall be completed on March
/, 1917 The award does not include
excavation, heating, electric wiring
and fixtures.
A. w. Braisted and l.. S. Norton, two
members of the building committee,
returned this morning from New York
where they have been during the past
four days on business connected with
the awarding of the contract. j. b.
Wilbur of Manchester, the third mem
Der of the committee, has been in New
York for some time
Mr.. McDermott OF the contracting
firm will be in Bennington during the
present week when it is expected that
the contract for the excavation will be
let. This work will be done under the
supervision of the contracting firm.
1t is also expected that a New York
landscape gardener, who has been en-
gagged to lay out the hospital grounds.
will be in Bennington before Saturday.
The building committee received bids
from five general contractors and there
was but little difference in the amounts
of the estimates. McDermott & Hani-
gan's figures were $500 below those
in the next highest estimate.
The plan submitted TO the competing
contractors was the revision of the orr
ginal prepared by Harry Leslie Walk
es of New York. 1t has been passed
/ upon by DR.. Goldwater of New York,
| considered one of the best authorities
on hospital construction.
Members of the building committee
| are confident that the contract for the
| hospital has been well placed. During
their stay in New Yerk they put in con
siderable time along the line of investi.
cation and they are satisfied that the
firm is in every way competent to do
the work In recent years McDermott
& Hanigan have built no less than IA
| churches in and around New York city
and the firm has also put up several
converts. 1t is at present at work on
a S7000.00O building of the latter de
scription on Long Island.

uskasing, Ont, last Friday was quelled
by the military authorities after one
Of the prisoners had been killed, nine
seriously wounded, several fatally, and
four slightly injured, it was learned
here last night.
The revolt is said to have been
started by about 300 Austrian prison
ers who were removed from the camp
at Pnearium, where they had refused
to work and had turned on their
guards. They were taken Wednesday
under heavy guard to the Kapuskasing
camps, about 60 miles west of Cochran
on the Transcontinental railway,
The new arrivals continued to mani
fest a spirit of insubordination at
Kapuskasing. The smoldering unrest
eliminated Friday in riot, and the
guards fired on the prisoners. Rifles
and bayonets were used freely. it is
said, and the outbreak, in which other
prisoners participated, was not quelled
for several hours. There were nc
casualties among the soldiers.
Major-Gen Sir Sam Tughes, min
lister of militia, last night sent Gen
Logic commanding the Toronto mill
tary district, to Kapuskasing to take
charge of the situation and report tt
him. The camps were reported to be
quiet last night
