REDMOND Bees HIS PEOPLE NOT
TO BE DISTURBED BY FURTHER
ATTEMPT TO DESTROY IRELAND
Ayers nsurrecon Was Organized America Well Ireland
and Germany's Hand Has Been Shown Through
the Scheme

New York, April. 30. c. Walsh,
editor of Ireland. received a cable
message today from John E, Redmond
in which the Irish Nationalist leader
reiterated his recent statement that
the Dublin insurrection was organized
in America as well as Ireland by the
irreconcila ole enemies of home rule
and begs Our people in America not
to be disturbed by this futile and mis-
cradle attempt to destroy Ireland for
it has miserab bly, and finally failed. The
message follows:
The attempt to torpedo home rule
and the Irish party has failed. Dam
age has been done life has been lost,
but the ship has not been sunk. The
whole thing has been organized by
those in Ireland and in America who
have always been the open and ire
conciable enemies of home rule and of
the Irish party. Though the hand Of
Germany was in the whole thing. 1t
was not so much sympathy for Ger
many as hatred of home rule and OF
us was at the bottom of the move
ment. 1t was even more an attempt to
hit US than to hit England.
THE whole disgraceful plot is view
ed with execration by the Irish peo-
pie. 1t was almost entirely Dublin
movement; partly the creation of the
Sin Fein cranks and German agents
there, partly of the remnants of that
mass of discomfort ard anarchy which
was left by the disastrous Larkinite
strike. In few small towns there
were attempts at disturbances which
we're easily suppressed, but Ireland as
a whole has remained perfectly tran
quill
1.-The movement in Dublin is nearing
its end In spite of the amount of blood
shed which it has caused, the move
ment in Dublin was little more than
the seizure by surprise of a few build
ings, streets and houses. 1t was sgd
new street or Fort Chabrol on a larger
scale, and as in both cases it took
greater time and greater energy to put
it down than a larger and more Sc
rIous movement in tho open field.
IT am happy to be able to state that,
even in it's desire to play into the hands
of the enemies of home rule in England
the movement has been just as great a
failure as in Ireland; for the public and
press IN England have remained quite
calm, have appraised the value and I'M
derstood the purpose of the rebels, and
no attempt has been made in any quar-
ter to make capital out of it to damage
the cause Of home rule.
IT am convinced that many old oppon-
ents< of home rule will be profoundly i'm
pressed by these events and will come

New Haven, Conn. April 30.-An ep-
idemic of strikes marked the labor
year in Connecticut. now drawing to a
close Scarcely an industrial center in
the state was immune from the con-
tagion Of unrest. The one notable ex-
ception was in the textile district in

of operatives were made content by
voluntary wage increases, ranging
from five to Is per cent.
The Winchester Repeating Arms

to its $4,000 employees and established

A number of strikes are still in

British Casualties

An official list of casualties among
the army officers at Dublin given ouc
tonight contains ~ names. OF this TO-
tai five were killed, y wounded and
one missing.
This list is additional to The one an
nounced Friday, giving the names OF
two officers killed and five wounded
The text of an official statement
follows:
1.-The general officer commanding in
chief the Irish command has reported
the situation in Dublin much more sat
isfactory Throughout the country there
was still much more to be done which
would take time. but he hoped that the
backbone of the rebellin had been broken.
Last night messengers were sent out
from the rebel leaders in Dublin to the
rebel bodies in Galway. Clare, Wexford.
Louth and Dublin counties ordering them
to surrender, and priests and the royal
Irish constabulary are doing their utmost
to disseminate this information. AS re-
CARDS the situation In Dublin. rebels from
the areas Of Stackville street, the post
office and the Four Courts are surrender
ing freely. More incendiary fires took
place in Sackville street last night, but
the fire brigade is now able to resume
work.
1T is further reported that up to the
present 7o7 prisoners have been taken.
Included among these is the Countess
MarkievicZ.
The rebels at Enniscorthy are re-
ported to be still in possession of this
place and a mixed column of cavalry,
infantry and artillery, including A.
guns have been sent from Wexford
with a view to engaging the rebels.
The latest information from Enniscor-
thy shows that the rebel leader at this
place does not believe the rebel lead
er's message from Dublin and has
proceeded to that city in motor car
under escort to verify the information.

REPORT FROM GERARD
is EXPECTED HOURLY
Berlin Note Will Deal with Broad
Principles L eaving Specific
Cases to Be Taken up Later

Secretary Lansing said tonight that
he had no new dispatches from Ger
many bearing on the submarine sit
uation and that Ambassador Gerard
had not reported on his conference
with Emperor William. A report from
Mr. Gerard is expected hourly and Of
ficials think it probable he will fore
cast the German reply.
Possible Solution
Information received tonight from
German sources is to the effect that
the Berlin government has considered
replying to the American demand for
the immediate abandonment of pres
ent methods of submarine warfare
with an offer to have its submarines
operate, at least temporarily, only as
cruisers against enemy merchan.
ships. German officials are said to
have expressed themselves as being
favorable toward the plan. The State
department, SO far as known, has no
information on the subject.
If the German reply has been draft
ed official information on the subject
is lacking. That note will be sent by
Berlin in preference to instructions to
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, is considered In German
quarters to be certain. The latter
method of procedure at one time was
considered by the German government.
The idea Is said to have been abandon
ed, however, because the American Off
Gals in Berlin felt that note would
serve all purposes more completely.
1t was intimated at the state depart
ment soon after the American note was
dispatched. however, that the United
States might consent to further negotia-
tons on the subject in the event of Ger
many declaring and effecting what the
United States demands. 1t was made
clear, however, that the demands would
have to be acceded to first.
According to the advices from German
sources, Berlin's reply to expected to deal
with broad principles rather than with
specific cases of Illegal attacks by the
German submarines. The specific cases
it is said, will be taken up later, should
the two governments reach an agreement
on the principles.
There is no definite information here re-
garding the time when the reply may be
expected. 1t is felt in diplomatic quar-
tiers. however, that it hardly will be re-
ceived before the middle of the week al
the earliest.

ference served no sort of notice on Coma
Scott and Funston that could be con.
strued as an ultimatum demanding imne-
date withdrawal.
That the desire of the de facto govern.

on the ACCESSIBILITY Of an American re.
tirement.
That there was considerable discussion

Question Of Withdrawal
From stray bits of information that
became known today, it appears that
yesterdays conversation ended with the
question of withdrawal Of the United
States troops still uppermost in tho
minds of the Mexican conferees They
are understood to have tried to impress
on the American representatives their
claim that political conditions in Mexico
are such that they cannot be response
bic for any eventualities that may re-
suit from continued occupation of Mex
lean soil by American columns They
are said also to have laid stress on the
fact that the position of the Carranza
government would be extremely delicate
if the expeditionary' movement were not
ended.
