errment expects the early arrival of
two Bristol fighting planes, which have
been purchased from the British, and
which are reported to. have left
Croydcn for Dublin to-day.
with a general expectation shat the
O'Connell Street fighting will soon be
at an end the public here has turned its
attention to the prisoners in Mount
JOY prison. These captives demanded
q. full status as prisoners of war, and
the governor of the prison ordered that
they should be so treated pending a
decision as to their status when hos
tiiities are at an end. He also warned
them that certain facilities they now
enjoy will be withdrawn in the event
Of disturbances and that those attempt
ing to wreck their cells are liable to
be shot.
The irregulars disregarded this in
junction, however, and this afternoon
numbers Of them, having broken the
bars on their cell windows, climbed out
on the stills, singing and shouting to
the crowds on the roads beneath in
definance of the authorities.
A chron illogical record of the battle
in Dublin to-day begins at a. m. with
a bombardment of the Gresham Hotel.
Machine gunners appeared to search
out positions in the hotels, only re-
sorting to drum fire when they had
located definite targets. The garrison
replied occasionally with rapid fire, but
tho response seemed weak. At O'Clock
three armored cars and a truck ap-
peared and went into action at once.
The armored cars varied action BY
driving close to the sidewalks so that
their crews could easily throw hand
grenades through the windows. Free
State troops in buildings on the west
side Of O'Connell Street Joined in the
attack, raking the windows of the re-
publican buildings. At o'clock a lorry
filled with troops drove up and a
sto,ming attack was expected, but q
mere reconnoitering trip resulted.
Soon after this the armored cars
moved away and the battle died down.
Republican Fire Slackens
In second attack which began at
10 o'clock the republican fire was no.
tlceably weak, coming sometimes from
one point and then from another. II
seemed as if the members of the gar
rison were passing from one building
to another in an effort to concentrate
their fire.
The Free Staters were busy all day
erecting barricades designed to prevent
the escape OF the beleagured ones. All
sorts OF vehicles, boxes and barrels
were used and all civilians passing
were closely examined. All bridges
across the river and canals were closed.
In the surrounding country besides
the important capture Of the Millmount
barracks the Free Staters scored in
Tipperary, where the irregulars were
driven from positions at Nenaeh in
Rosscrea and'eight captured with muni-
tions, and the Killsheelan and Cloeh-
leen barracks were recaptured. The
Free State troops now control all Of
Kilkenny, while barracks at places in
Donegal and Westmeath have returned
to their control.
