hold on Ireland's capital today. After
four days Of fighting their rebel flag

points.
Since Monday some Of the chief po-
sitions in the city have ben in tho
hands Of the rebels. In defending
these strongholds against rebel
troops and Irish Nationalists volun-
teers the rebels are fighting with des-
peration for their lives, which they
know may be forfeited on account Of
treason.
Regulars now command all the
rebel positions, the fal lof which is
merely question of time.
When the Associated Press corre-
spondent landed early this morning
at the quay, the pinging of bullets
from rifles of snipers in the vicinity
was frequent. Augustine Birrell, tho
secretary for Ireland, had made the
passage from England with the news
papermen. AS he stepped ashore, he
shouted:

don't know what will happen to you
now that you are here"

LONDON, April 29.-Although the
story of the early hours of the Dub
lin uprising has now been disclosed
In considerable detail, England is still
without authentic information as to
the progress Of later events. Normal
telegraph, telephone and mail service
with Ireland have not been resumed
and the existing means of communi-
cation are subject to such strict CEN
sorship that 1t is possible to obtain
only fragmentary information. Such
news dispatches as came through
this morning added little to the infor-
nation contained in last nights off,
cial advices and stories of eye wit
nesses.
So far as official reports show the
situation in Dublin is gradually be-
ing brought under control The
most important recent news that the
rebels had been driven out Of st.
Stephens Green with bombs sustain
ing heavy losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners has not been con-
firmed officially. There seems to be
no doubt, however, that the rebels
still control various parts Of Dublin
and that street fighting continues
with lengthening list of casualties.
1t is reported the casualty list al
ready exceeds 100.
OF the situation outside Dublin
little is known beyond the official ad-
mission that the disaffection has
spread to various localities in the
west and south of Ireland. Field
