by either side. General Scott, ii was

OF Ireland" lost by piling their arms

The military authorities arc taking
rigid measures to prevent the escape

Dublin is badly Scared by fire and

Kingston, ireland, May 1.-The mill
tary authorities are taking rigid meas
ures to prevent the escape of the
rebels, although this is made difficult
owing to the fact that most of them
discarded their Sim Feiner uniforms
and donned civilian clothes, which
enabled them to mingle with the
crowds of peaceful inhabitants
A military permit now is necessary
to pass through either the inner mill
tary Gordon or the larger circle drawn
around the city. The permit and the
bearer invariably are subjected to
close examination. Even a stricter
watch is being maintained over per-
sons desiring to take passage out of
Ireland from Kingston. Guards are
posted at frequent intervals along
every road in the country. The ap-
pearance OF the central part of the
city is remarkable. There is no doubt
that Dublin will show the scars of its
experience for a long time to come.
Many of the city's important buildings
are in ruins and hundreds more show
the effects of inCendiary fires, artillery
shells and vandalism.
City Badly Scared
The damage by fire is far greater
than from the fighting. The most inn
portant work of the next few days will
he the problem of providing for the
people. Already the city has assumed
the appearance of town full of
refugees. For a week no work has
been done, and no work means no
money for thousands whose existence
depends on their daily earnings. The
military authorities declare they are
making preparations to deal with this
situation adequately and promptly
without regard for red tape
