was being carried on as usual.
Fowler hall on Parnell Square,
occupied by irregulars, also was at
tackled by the Irish government
troops.
The official troops command the
Four Courts building from all
Sides, but the nature Of the struc-
ture made an assault difficult and
as the building contains fireplace
able legal documents there was no
disposition to fire the structure as
a means of ousting the insurgents.
The number of casualties on Ell
ther side was not known definitely,
but fourteen had been reported up
to mid-forenoon. Three irregulars
were carried out Of the -Four CourtAs

surgents stronghold. This had been
strongly fortified by the irregulars
who replied vigorously to the fire
Of the attacking parties.
About 700 men were engaged on
the government side, and the rattle
of rifle and machine gun fire was
punctuated by the explosions Of
bombs and the occasional rattle Of
IL FOUNDER artillery.
Orange Hall, taken over by the
insurgents as "refuge" for Bel
fast Catholics, was also attacked.
The entire city was awakened by
the din, even to the remote sub
urbs.
The first casualty reported was
amongst the provisional govern
ment troops. Private Long was
wounded while on duty in Chancery
street. I
1t was learned during the MORN
ing that the official force were US

BY II 80 o'clock breach had been
made in one wall of the building.
The attack on the insurgents
was preceded by the sending OF
two ultimatums to Commandant
O'Connor. One of these demanded
the release of Lieutenant General
O'Connell, assistant chief Of staff
of the regular forces, who was seiz-
ed yesterday by the insurgents. The
other set a time limit after which
an attack would be made.
Five casualties among the Free
State troops had occurred up to

 If foreign ships loaded with liquors, contrhband in this country, although outside the three mile limit, establish connection with the shore of the United States through the1r own agencies, they theE will be liable to search or seizure by the prohibitson authorities of the United States. Otherwise they will not oe interfered with by this government, no matter how bulgiug their holds may be with liquor for American consumption.
