From the quay the respective positions
could be seen. The rebels were holding q
square section of territory from the point
where Liberty Hall stood before a gun
street. to st. Stephens Green and the Four
Courts district, and along the southern
side of the river to the Butt and O'Con-

Another brief artillery bombardment
was directed against barricades in
Sackville street. Clouds of thick
smoke soon rose around various prom
inent objects in that part of Dublin as
the shells burst, while between times
the rattle of the machine guns seemed
like a continuation of the reverbera-
tion of the heavy pieces.
So closely guarded were the ap-
proaches to the fighting zone that 1t
was impossible to gauge accurately
what damage was done, and attempts
by correspondents to pass along

LONDON, April 20, 4:45 pm.
Maj. Gen. Charles Townshend,
commander of the British forces
besieged at Kut-el-Amara, Meso-
potamia, by Turkish forces since
last December, has surrendered
to the Turks. This information
was contained in British official
statement issued this afternoon,
which added that Gen. Townshend
destroyed all his guns and muni-
tions before surrendering.
Unable to Get Supplies.
Gen. Townshend probably was driven
TO surrender to avoid starvation of his
force a recent official Turkish COM
munication said that the position of the
British at kut-el-Amara was critical
and that they were expecting to re-
ceive small supplies of food by aero
plane. An official statement received
yesterday from London showed that a
last effort to send supplies to the gar
rison had failed 1t was announced
that a ship laden with supplies had
been sent up the Tigris, but that it

been attempting to reach the besieged
forces of Gen. Townshend. A few
weeks ago several victories were an
nounced and hope ran high in England
that the mission would succeed. of

they have been able to hold the Brit

British Suffer Severely.
No official figures have been given
out as to the number of troops which
set forth from the Persian gulf in
November of 1914 on the expedition
which now has ended in surrender. I'm
oficially the number has been estimat-
ed as high as $4,000. but it was probably
considerably smaller than this. This
force has suffered heavy losses in
severe battles with the Turks.
II was early in December of last year
that Gen. Townshends army. beaten in
battle at Ctesiphon, eighteen miles be =
low Bagdad. retreated to Kut-el-
Amara. Since that time it has been
besieged by large army of Turks,

the outside world. except by wireless.
During the long siege the British beat
OFF many attacks by the Turks. They
defended themselves so successfully in

Minister of War Obregon, with Gems
Trevino, Gutierrez. Gales, Gavira and
Santos, will submit the proposition that
take over the pursuit of the Villa ban
dts and protect the border, and there
fore the United States soldiers in Mex
leo should be recalled.
Gems. Scott and Funston will counter
it is understood, with the proposition
that American troops be disposed in
certain spheres of northern Chihuahua
to remain until the Carranza govern
ment has shown that there is no longer
border states.
Meeting Place Not Decided.
Mai. Gen. Scott said that not until he
had conferred with Gen. Obregon would
it be definitely known whether the
first conference would be held in Juarez
or Ell Paso. The general added that the
conference might not be held today,
but Sunday or Monday.
Gen Obregon and his party journeyed
from Juarez this morning to Ell Paso.
At the international bridge they were
met by a troop of American cavalry.
which escorted them through thronged
streets, guarded with infantry, to the
railroad station, where, on Gen. Scott g
private car, the Mexican officials were
welcomed.
There is no disposition on the part of
any one to prolong negotiations, which.
it is thought, will be concluded early
next week.

ALL GERMANY AWAITING

People Eager for Announcement Of

BERLIN. April 29.-The attention OF
all Germany is directed today toward
the audience of the American ambas-
sador with the German emperor al
general army headquarters. The Ger
man people are watching with eager
interest for word indicating whether
a settlement has been reached in the
submarine controversy.
The bourse had another strong day

A feeling is manifest. however, that
the optimists are outrunning events
too far Thus the National-Zeitune
warns against excessive optimism
pointing out that the situation is un-
changed.
The Hansabund. the great organiza-
tion of commercial classes, has issued
a circular expressing a hope of favor

emperor will make no decision detri-
mental to Germany's national dignity

u-Boat Called Necessity.

The Tages Zeitung prints another ar
ticle laying emphasis on the statement
that the underwater boat is necessity
in Germany's warfare against Great
Britain.
A Berlin dispatch to the Cologne Ga
zette again calls attention to what II
terms the hopes Of Germany's enemies
to bring about a breach in German
American relations. This dispatch says
the press of the entente powers Is
seeking untiringly to hammer the con
viction into the whole world that the
conditions as laid down by the Ameri-
can government will not be acceptaole
to Germany and that an effort is being
made to discredit the German answer
in advance, no matter what 1t may be-
'The purpose of these efforts. says says
France are longing for German Ameri-
can complications"
The Cologne Gazette adds that it is
interesting to learn what Germanys
enemies desire. "One must study their
words fully and understand them right
ly," the newspaper declares. FOR one
can make important conclusions from
them"
