Dublin Under Military Rule.
Strong military patrols manned
every bridge and road running out
of the city of Dublin last night. All
avenues OF sgress. and ingress were
closed, and even persons holding per-
nlits were not allowed to pass the
lines drawn thru the outskirts of the
city. Reportx reaching the center of
Dublin during the evening indicated
that virtually the whole military es-
Establishment IN this district of Ireland
was employed IN maintaining this
Gordon.
Late in the evening the strict
guard plae ed abouS the city made
absolute the paral2r.s Of traffic in

In the meantime soldiers were con-
Quoting scores Of raids. The
sthoroughness with which the Gordon
about the city was drawn and raids
conducted led those in close touch
with the situation to believe the mil
itary authorities were determined to
arrest the assaulting parties of sun
day afternoon.
Down town streets were thickly
.peopled early In the evening but as
= consequence of the advancement OF
the curfeW hour the crowd soon
5dwindled and little after 9 o'clock
there was scarcely person abroad.
Train Service Resumed.
y All train services in and out of
Dublin were resumed this morning,
lafter the city, had passed quiet
night following Sundays bloodshed
and the raiding activities of yester-
day. The curfew law was strictly
obeyed.
The night, however, did not witness

who are continuing their minute
search OF the city, presumably for
suspects in connection with Sundays
assassinations. Before the curfew
hour several of THE streets were sur
rounded by barbed ire barriers and
the soldiers examined all persons
passing.
An atmosphere Of distrust and sus-
picion was noticeable on every hand
yesterday and last night. Travellers
on trains, pedestrians in the streets
and loungers in hotel lobbies showed
reluctance TO venture any opinions
No one would give any indications as
tc his personal sympathies.
The thirteenth death as a result of
the Croak park shooting occurred to-
day when an 11-year- old boy died of
his wounds. Only seven of the croak
park victims have as yet been iden-
titled.
