information reaching here from Cuer-

Replying to a question in the House
Of Commons regarding the Irish out
break. Winston Churchill, the Colonial
Secretary, said this evening:
This morning at dawn the forces Of
the Provisional Government attacked
insurgent bands occupying the Four
Courts in Dublin. This decision in no
way arose from debate in this house
or communications TO the provisional
from the British Government. It is
the result of further aggressive
anarchical action by Rory O'Connor
and his followers. who seized one OF
the officers of the Free State army.
The PROFESSIONALS solely are responsible
for the operations and so far have
made no communication on the sub
ject
The PROFESSIONALS declined all assist
ance by the imperial forces. except in
so far as equipment was concerned.
THE fighting is still in progress The
Four Courts appear TO be in a posi-
tion Of considerable structural strength
and no definite results have been
achieved by the heavy firing which is

Civil war in Ireland, which broke
out at dawn yesterday morning, was
still raging at midnight, with the stu
alton not favoring either the Repub-
licans. who hold the Four Courts, or
the Free State troops. who are be-
sieging them there because the pro-
visional Government decided to assert
its authority after it had been openly
challenged by Rory OConnor, leader
of the irregulars.
The known casualties are eight dead
and more than a score wounded. ex-
elusive of the losses of the rebels in
the Four Courts. which, one of the
handsomest buildings in Dublin, is
practically ruined. The rebels under
OConnor are doggedly withstanding
the siege. and there is promiscuous
firing along the banks of the Liffey.
opposite, and sniping in the streets in
other quarters of the city. The Free
State forces surround the Four
Courts and are expected to launch a
big attack at dawn.
The Free State forces have many
emplacements OF field pieces and ma.
chine guns. most of which ceased
firing early this morning, but sniping
is still active.
No Panic in City.
Dublin is in the throes of the ut
most excitement, but the people are
disciplined to shot and shell. There
Is no sign of panic or symptom of
terrorism, and most persons have
gone to bed. Probably the majority
have fallen asleep by this time, but
their attitude is such that they feel
that this strange battle which has
broken out in their civilized COM
munity will, In a few hours, determine
the whole future OF their beloved
country.
All day they have listened TO the roar
OF field pieces and mortars, and the
crackle of rifles and machine guns. They
have been curious. even bold, as they
lodged in and out of the fighting zone,
spurred on by Irish curiosity. But they
have no doubts of the seriousness OF
the crisis. and they accept It as battle
for and against the Free State treaty
and the supremacy OF the Provisional
Government under Michael Collins and
Arthur Griffith.
Dublin. in all its history OF violence
and bloodshed, had never seen a day
like yesterday. Six years ago the
Easter rebellion was started when
British guns rained shells upon the
city; but these are Irish guns. fired by
Irishmen and directed against Irishmen
