London. May 2.-Train communica-
,.or between Dublin and the rest Of
Ireland is still interrupted. and one or
.uo sripcrs still remain 70 be captured,
o.hcrvisc life in the Irish capital is
rspidly rcsuming its normsl aspect.
While the situation outside Dublin is
not SO satisfactory to-day as in the
,,.v itself, IL is improving, and the
authorities expect that few days
sbould sec the end OF all trouble. A
fickcr is still apparent not far from
Dublin. where q small group of sdher-
,-ts Of James Larkin have ensconced
themselves.
Further 10 the west Of the capital
there are still bands Of insurgents in
Icing. The rebels are skeptical of the
assurances given them that their COM
-s8cs in Dublin have surrendered.
Venue Changed for Trial.
Tho military authorities decided 20
send the prisoners 10 England for trial
m order that they may be away from
-le prejudice and anger Of persons of
the places where they revolted, killing
civilians and soldiers. When the cor
,esrordcnt. who was permitted TO go
aboard the vessel, Intercepted the pris-
orcrs. he gathered they had no idea,
when they were ordered TO assemble at
various centres on Easter Monday. that

strict orders 10 defend our positions.
We were told il would be necessary TO

fighting the British"
Most Of the men were fatigued al
r-cst 90 the point of exhaustion. They
we're provided with the same ratIons
es the troops escorting them.
As the column marched through the
cry from Richmond Barracks to the
quay many persons gathered at win,
Cows. There were q few cheers and
some waving Of handkerchiefs.
One Of the spectators, who seemed 70
voice the feelings Of many others, re-
marked: "Why shouldn't We cheer

thing? They have been brave. and
they arc our own flesh and blood
Holiday Spirit in Dublin.
There was almost a holiday spirit in
tho Irish capital to-day. All through
The centre of the city people walked
bout freely. looking al the ruins in
.Sscsvills Street. Hundreds of persons
.cs'hered at the postoffice, which was
almost destroyed by FIRE, in search Of
souvenirs Many OF them found rifles,
.iavouets and other trophies in the still
smouidering ruins before the military
decided 70 clear away the crowd owing
.t8 the danger Of falling walls.
SQUADS OF cavalry patrolled the
streets. keeping the crowds on the
move. but 10 was not necessary to use
force. Troops still occupied strategic
positions AZ the end of the streets and
masses still were necessary before one
could 90 into the districts infested with
s7ipers. who evidently had not learned
o. the collapse of the rebellion or
were determined 20 nse up their smmu-
r.ron before surrenderlng or being
killed.
House-to-house visits by the troops

poets I'M whose dwellings weapons or
uniforms we're found. One man
brought in this morning was caught
with his rifle in his hand, while he wore

Another rebel wore Red Cross

shape Of a handkerchief. around the
