Belfast.-The Union street and Kent
street areas of Belfast again have been
scenes of wild excitement, heavy fir
ing going on for 20 minutes. A con-
stable was mortality wounded and the
Sim Feiners engaged in the HOSTILE
ties are reported to have suffered heav-
fly. Many dead are said by the police
to have been carried into houses
nearby. -
The trouble started when q police
searching party called at house in
the district. Fire was opened upon
the party and in response to police
hurry call, reinforcements were
rushed up. A battle ensued, and the
police were fired at from the street
corners as well as from houses which
had been picketed to guard against
surprises from the crown forces.

GUNB0ATS TO TAMPIC0
Secretary DENLY Orders Vessels
to Mexican Port.
Authority to Use Necessary Power 10
Given In Event Of Possible
Disturbances.

Washington-Two United States
gunboats, the Sacramento and the
Cleveland, have been ordered to Tam.
pico as a precautionary measure in the
event disorders develop.
Upon the strength of information
furnished US by the State department
regarding conditions resulting from the
suspension of shipments Of oil and the
consequent unemployment, the Navy
department has sent two gunboats
there to be ready for possible disturb.
ances requiring their attention." said
Secretary of the Navy DENLY.
1.-THE gunboats have their orders to
station themselves outside the three
mile limit at Tampico and there await
Developments" he added. "They have
full authority to take whatever steps
are necessary for the protection Of
American property. It is simply pre-
cautiOnary measure.
There are 173 men aboard the Sacra-
mento and 265 aboard the Cleveland,
but they are carrying four and five
inch guns"
Information which prompted the
Navy department to this step came
from the American consul at Tampico,
via the State department. Obviously,
those reports pictured the situation as
a result of the oil companies contro-
versy with the Mexican government
over the 100 per cent export tax. The
companies have protested vigorously.
On June 30 the shipment of oil was
stopped, presumably as protest
against the export tax. Reports from
the Mexican fields have it that the un-
employment question is becoming ser.
ious. Feeling is running particularly
high against the American companies,
because Of the general impression that
the Americans are alone in this discon.

agreement to End Hostllities
Follows DevaIera's Ac-
ceptance of Invitation
TO CONFER IN LONDON
SHUTS May Be Chairman Of Meeting;
King Taking Hand In Effort to
Secure Peace; Events Move
Swiftly In Capitals.

LOndon.-A truce has been declared
between England and Ireland. Devel-
opments leading to the truce were div
ided between London and Dublin. In
Dublin Eamonn De Valera, Irish re-
publican leader, and his nationalist u.s.
s0clates, renewed their conference
with the Southern Union!sts. Earl
Middleton, a Unionist who recently
conferred with the British prime min
fster, read u letter from Mr.. Lloyd
George to the effect that hostflities
must cease If negotiations looking to
peace were to succeed.
Announcement Made.
General Sir Nevil MacReady, Brit
fish military commander in Ireland, ap-
peared at the De Valera conference,
and it was not many hours later that
the announcement was made at the
prime minister's official residence in
London that in accordance with the
premier's offer and Mr.. De Valera's
reply, arrangements were going for
ward for the cessation of hostilities.
King Is Leading Figure.
The king of England has been a
lending figure in the developments up
to the present, while Gen. SHUTS, the
South African premier, has acted as the
pivot on which the peace movement
has turned. There is hope in London.
and in Dublin, too, that peace must
engaged in seeking a settlement.
Farley to Be Held.
Events moved swiftly both in Lon
don and Dublin. Not only has Mr.. De
Valera, contrary to the general expec-
tation, consented to come to London
to discuss with Mr.. Lloyd George the
basis on which settlement of the Irish
question mi ht be reached by the
prime minister's proposed London con-
ference, but a truce has been de-
clared
This has given reasonable assur-
nnce that the original conference to
which the prime minister invited the
Irish republican leader and Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, will be held.
Confer at Buckingham.
The day started hopefully with The
king summoning the Ulster premier
to a conference at Buckingham Palace.
This, following upon the kings con-
ference with Gen. Jan G. SHUTS, the
South African premier, is an indica-
ton of the intense interest the king is
taking in the Irish problem, and, al
though under the traditions Of the
British constitution. the king has no
real voice in the direction of govern
ment affairs, that does not prevent his
exercising great influence in the policy
of the country.

TO 'uNMAsK' U. S. OIL MEN
Mexico Secretary Of Interior Describes
Actions as MScandalous.n

Mexico City.-Plutarco E. Gales,
secretary of the interior, has told Mex
lean newspapermen informally that
the Mexican government is prepared
to unmask oil producers" whom he
charged with "scandalous actions, not
only against the Mexican treasury, but
against the United States as WELL"
This statement was published in three
Mexico City newspapers and there was
much speculation on its meaning.
Although the wording varied in the
newspapers, each printed interviews
which attributed to the. secretary the
same sentiments. He was said to have
referred to alleged attempts by Amer
lean oil companies to dodge income
taxes by dissolving the parent corpor-
ations and formingg numerous SUBJ
salaries.
