IRv the Associated Press)

Dublin, July 22.-With both flanks
of the Republican insurgent army
broken, through yesterdays capture
of Waterford and Limerick, the irre-
gular troops today were reported to
be retreating toward Cork. They are
believed to number some thousands
of soldiers, sufficiently equipped
with all arms except artillery and
they are expected to give the nation
al army forces considerable trouble
in guerilla tactics, but it is doubted
if they will make determined stand
before reaching Cork.
Telegraph lines from Cork were
partially restored yesterday and mes
sages reaching Dublin indicated the
city was comparatively quiet. The
inhabitants feared the city might
soon become the scene of fighting.
The national forces are said to be
in complete control of Limerick ex-
cept for a few insurgent snipers. The
city was reported to have suffered
little from bombardment but was
greatly damaged by fires that were
ignited by the irregulars when they
were compelled to evacuate. ..
Reports reaching here through
Free State channels charge the Re-
publicans with having looted the Linn
erick stores of practically everything
valuable. The loss is said to have
to several thousand pounds.
Eamon De Valera is said to have
been in the city for some time but
left when the attack began, going to
Republican headquarters at Clonmel.
Word reached here early today that
the nationalist forces captured Cast
lerea, county Roscommon yesterday,
after shelling the local headquarters
of the irregulars who surrendered.
The prisoners captured in Water
ford by the national army total $50.
A large quantity of ammunition was
obtained together with large num-
bers of mines. The national lists lost
four killed and eleven wounded. ~,
In Limerick the irregulars are re-
ported to have lost twenty killed and
many wounded. >. g..

st. Paul, Mimi, July 22.-An en-
bargo on perishables and less than

Officials of other northwest lines
said they have no intention of de-

few days, but said that such action
may be necessary if the continu-
ance OF the shipments. strike seri-

tions. w..
The reason COR the Montana en-
barge, officials of the Great North
