and incendiarism, coupled with ac-
counts of fires started by men in uni
form, are now being told by those who
went through the terrors of Saturday
night and Sunday.
Eyewitnesses of the burning of Cork
graphically relate how men masked
with 'scarfs removed loot from the
flame enveloped shops. Some OF them
had leather bags Overlooking with
plumber and additional plumber slung
over their shoulders. 1t is reported
that large number OF the employees
of the destroyed establishments, antici-
pating their destruction, insured their
salaries with English companies.
1t is said that looters removed from
n jewelry store several large trophy
cups, which. being too heavy for them
to carry Off, were thrown into a blaz-
ing street car standing in thorough
fare.
Mrs. Wren. the proprietress of Elan

Saturday night she was ordered to
clear her hotel of it's guests, but that
she remained inside the building.
Shortly afterward the front door lock
was blown away by a revolver bullet
and a crowd of men, some of them in
uniform, entered and broke bottles I'M

whiskey and beer. She was then per-
mitted to leave the hotel with her four
children before the place was set on

martial law and that the military in

of the irregular police.
More than 800 buildings are now said
to have been destroyed in the fires which
laid waste a great part of this city.
