Dublin, December 17.--Out of the crop of rumors circulating in Dublin today regarding renewal of efforts toward peace between England and the Sim Fein organization there emerged an interesting report that the military authorities in Ireland ac tually began negotiations last week for conference b arrange q truce.
 According to this report. which Is accepted as true by those in close touch with these developments, the overtures came from the republicans and one meeting was held to consider the preliminaries. Then came the Cork fires. which are said to have so in censed the republicans that they brok @ off the discussions Intermediates TOW are trying to induce them to meet again with the military authorities.
 It is understood the principal con dition the republicans will seek to inn pose will be amnesty for all mem be rs of the Irish republican army, including the men which the government has been endeavoring without success to capture. The work of the chief inter- mediaries, Archbishop Clune of Perth, Western Australia, and Bishop Fog arty of killaloe, is proceeding with the utmost secrecy and 1t Is not con sidered likely that either will consent 10 make statement to the press un- til the negotiations are well advanced.
 There is intense interest in inc movement of Eamonn De Valera, and in some quarters it is believed not i'm probable that he soon will arrive in Ireland.
