IRISH IRREGULARs
 ARE FORWARDED


 London, July IA Dublin despatch nant of the irregular strongholds in .up- per Sackville street is being bonbarded with heavy guns
 The Dublin correspondent of the Press Association, teleg1aphints early in the evening, says that the national forces are making steady progress. The battle of O'Connell street continued with vary ing intensity throughout the day, the firing on the whole, being much heavier than yesterday.
 In the afternoon the post office was rushed and captured by a bombfng par ty, twenty irreguIars being taken
 The correspondent says it is persist ently rumored that De Valera has left Hammam's hotel.
 Fifteen irregulars are believer to have surrendered under the white flag at this hotel and it Is reported that Countess MarkieviN was captured while unop- ing.
 During the course of the day. continues the correspondent. there have been fierce duels between national troops lying in the road behind light barrfcaEdes and snipers from windows and roofs. There are several indications of the diminished strength of the irregular forces and that they will no longer attempt to fight from all their positions simultaneously. The deserted appearance of the Gresham suggested that the hotel had been evacu- ated. ssupecting that. the place had been mined. and later republicans were again seen firing from the windows
 The irregulars Iconeentrated their at teption specially on threatened points, moving about in under7ground tunnels. large number of irreeufl 2 I-ss yss 5,r,r,.u,, to have left the oaConnell area. Crowds in the city still watched the fighting in one case. national snipers were firing clear over the heads of the spectators at Hamnram's hotel
 The evacuation of Barry's hotel near Parne.l square was a complete surprise 1t was quietly deserted Sunday or Mon- day by a hundred irregulars. with about thirty women acting as cooks and 1 typists It appears they lacked arms sufficient to resist a big attack, and therefore slipped away in twos and threes through a breach into an adjoin- | ing building.
