BONES OF A GEORGIA

Savannah, Ga, April 27.-Col-

committee representing the Geor-

ton, reported to the commission
ers OF Chatham county today that
the grave OF Governor Samuel
Ebert, chief executive of Geor-
gia in 1875, had been found by
him. The bones of the govern
or's wife were also found. They
had rested i'll a mound at the
mouth of Pipcmaker's Creek near
Savannah, and were uncovered
by convicts while eXcavating for
a drainage ditch.
There were a number of bones
unearthed at the time but they
were supposed to have been those
of Indians until Colonel Travis
visited the scene. He found UNI
mistakable evidence, he says
that the bones were those of the
former governor. He asked the
county for a sufficient number OF
men to have the body properly
exhumed and prepared for buria'
elsewhere. The request was
granted.

DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW To SUPPRESS
REVOLT IN DUBLIN
Worse Than Reported. Irish
People in America Say Truth
is Suppressed

London, April Z0.-Drastlc
steps have been taken by the Brit
ish government to suppress the
rising in Dublin by the proclama-
ton OF martial law in the city and
county, and by proclaiming the
associations which took part in
the movement illegal associations
which will enable the police to
break them up.
This was announced in the
house of commons today by Pre-
mier Asquith who, while making
a more reassuring statement with
regard to the situation in the
Irish capital, did not add much to
previous knowledge OF what has
happened there since Monday at
noon, when rebels took possess
ion of the postofhce and certain
sections of the city.
Troops Reinforced
The prime minister was able to
say, however, that Liberty Hall,
the headquarters Of the Sim Fem
party, and St. Stephens green,
which seemed to have been the
center of the rising, had been oc-
cupied by the military, who were
being reinforced by troops from
England and Belfast.
National volunteers, Mr.. AS
quith said, had turned out to as
sist the authorities, while many
local persons had offered them
aid.
Attacked Dublin Castle.
In the course of statement iii
the house of commons this after
noon Lord LansdoWne said that
the rebels in Dublin had made a
half-hearted attack on Monday on
Dublin castle. There was now a
complete Gordon of troops around
the center of Dublin, ne added.
The casualties at Dublin, &C
cording to Lord Lansdowne's
statement, were fifteen killed and
twenty-one wounded, besides two
loyal volunteers and two police
men killed and six loyal volun-
teers wounded.
Worse Than Reported
New York, April 26.-The re-
volt in Ireland far exceeds in eX-
tent the admissions of the Brit
ish government, according to in
formation reported today to have
been received in Irish circles here
A force of 10000 rebels is op-
posing authorities in Dublin and
neighboring Irish counties, it was
asserted.
The reports had it that John
MacNeill, leader of the Irish vol
unteers and editor of their official
organ, the Irish Volunteer, had
been shot.
The activities of Sir Roger
Easement were partly financed
by Irish-Americans, who contrib
uted more than 100000 to the
cause, according to Jeremiah
IO'Leary, director of the Irish So
cieties of this city, and president
Of the American Truth socie+-
Mr.. CLeary and other pronli-
nent Irish-Americans here who
favor Irish independence, insist
ed, however, that there was no
connection with Sir Rogers expe-
dition and the Dublin revolt.
