terror en- Irlanda quemando varios
edificios publicos, Y los franceses
penetraron en- el distrito del Rhur.
La Semana Santa Sc declararon en-
huelga 700 empleados del Ferroca-

= aunque Ia organization a que
esos huelguistas pertenecen fue de-
clarada Illegal por Ia hermandad de

de los huelguistas del Ferrocarril dc

FL primer daHo que reciblo e
publico fue que las empresas ferro-

La hermandad de ferrocarrlleros
u desconoci6 Ia legitimldad de Ia

lurares para que reemplazaran a los
huelguistas.
\ pesar de Ia ilegalidad declarada
de la huelga y de los esfuerzos he
chos para romperla, el movlmlentc
huelguista Sc propago rapidamentt
exterdienGose hasta ell Paciflco. Para
q viernes Ia huelga amenazaba con

BESIDE fines del mes pasado comen-
aaron a circular rumore de que los
sinn-feiners. esos infatigables a la
par cue salvajes l~uchadores por Ia
Independence de Irlanda, intentarian
una nueva rebellion contra el poder
ingles, por 10 que las autoridades bri-
tanicas tomaron las debidas precau-
clones.
Pero a pesar de estas, el sabado de
Gloria Y Ell Domingo de Pascua los
sinn-feiners atacaron los edificios
publicos en- varios lugares de Irlanda,

incendiando mas de 200 edificios pu-
blicos en- toda Irlanda, ademas de
