Shooting Is Explained.
Belfast, Nov. 24-The death roll in
Dublin Monday totaled five persons.
During the morning one of the sentries
at the castle was attacked by armed
men. Tina sentry fired, killing three
of the attacking party.
Two other deaths occurred during
the raids which were carried out in the
city throughout the day.
Huge Number Arrested.
Dublin, Nov. 24.-All train services
in and out of Dublin were resumed
today after the city had passed quiet
night following Sundays bloodshed,
and the raiding activities of Monday.
The curfew law was strictly obeyed.
The vigorous activities of the au-
thorities leave little doubt that deter
mined and concerted efforts are being
made to round up every republican
suspected of being active in killing
'black and tans."
The military authorities are tight
ening the Gordon about Dublin and
done in the Easter rebellion of 1916.
1t is believed number of republican
leaders in the provinces, finding the
pursuit too hot, have taken refuge
here.
huge number have been arrest
ed, but the government refuses to d.
vulge the figures. Dublin Castle au-
thorities, however, admit the prisons
are so full that 1t has become neces-
sary TO utilize the castle itself.
Strong military patrols manned ev-
cry bridge and road running out Of
the city of Dublin during the night.
All avenues of egress and ingress
were closed, and even persons hold
ing permits were not allowed to pass
the lines drawn through the outskirts
of the city. Reports reaching the CEN
ter of Dublin during the evening in
dicated that virtually the whole mill
tary establishment In this district of
Ireland was employed In maintaining
this Gordon.
Late in the evening the strict guards
placed around the city made absolute
the paralysis Of traffic in and out Of
Dublin, which was begun when orders
were issued on Sundays suspendlng all
railway service.
Conduct Scores OF Raids.
In the meantime soldiers were con-
Quoting scores of raids throughout the
city, reports reaching newspaper Of
fees showing that all classes and types
of residences and other premises were
being searched.
From early in the morning this work
went on, and reports came In quick
succession of scores of raids, which
were attended by more than the usual
amount of incidental clashes. 1t
seemed certain that many casualties
had marked the days activity.
The thoroughness with which the
Gordon about the city was drawn and
raids conducted led those in close
touch with the situation to believe
the military authorities were deter
mined to arrest the parties responsible
for the murder OF II officers Sunday.
Statement on Park Shooting.
Crown forces which went to Croke
park on Sunday afternoon in an effort
TO arrest alleged gunner were fired
upon by pickets. and as result of

statement, that when the grounds
had been surrounded an officer. with
a megaphone. would announce to the

purpose. but before the crown forces
