Dublin, July 5.--(By A. P)-
Bombardmcnts on the buildings oc-
cupied by the republicans remaining
in their Sackvllle street stronghold
was resumed at o'clock this aft
crnoon after few hours lull.
The Hammam hotel, which has
been one of the principal points of
the defense, was abiaze shortly after
midday and the flames were spread
ing to adjoining buildings on the
south. Shortly after the fire was
observed in the hotel what appeared
to be white flag was hung out, but
when troops and hremen approached
the building they were fired at and
the supposed flag was withdrawn.
The national army forces then
trained an Is FOUNDER on the Ham
nam and on the general postoffice
next door ON the north, where the
main force of the irregulars was
believed to be concentrated.
Sharp Rifle Fire.
The postofIice is more solidly con-
structed than the other buildings of
the block in which the republicans
have been making their desperate
stand, and it is believed that it is
there they will wage their final fight,
the end OF which is now thought to
be near.
The Free State forces are reported
in full possession of the Gresham
hotel, which is separated from the
postoffice by the Crawn and the
Granville hotels. From the upper
stories of the Granville the defenders
were continuing to maintain sharp
rifle fire.
Dense volumes of smoke were
pouring from the blazing buildings
and occasional explosions were heard
as the FIRE reached stored ammuni-
ton.
People Disregard Danger.
A vast crowd on the O'Connell
bridge, the southern terminus of
Sackville street, watched the tragic
spectacle being enacted few hun
dred yards away, needless of the peril
OF flying bullets. Red Cross workers
were carrying on their work fear
lessly in the heart of the danger zone.
1t is not known whether Eamon
De Valera and the other republican
leaders, including Henry Boland, are
still with the garrison. 1t is believed
a considerable number of the defend
ers have managed to escape and it is
considered probable that they have
gone to join the bands organizing.
The Gresham hotel, in Sackville
street, was blazing furiously at z
o'clock this afternoon.
Ten buildings in Sackville street
were ablaze at 3 p. m. The irregu-
lars were still holding out in the
Granville hotel, firing from the win
dows, while surrounded by an inferno
OF flames. Five men, the last occu-
pants of the Gresham hotel, have sur
rendered. The end of the battle is
believed to be near.
Art O'Brien, former representative
of the Dali Eireann in London. and
Sean O'Kelley, who used to represent
the dali in Paris, were both arrested
last evening, it was announced to-
day.
Quiet IN South.
Cork, July 5.-(By A. P)-The
south generally continues quiet
though the republicans are active.
The government forces forming
the garrison at Broadiord have capit-
ulated to the republicans, whose
forces after a short engagement also
captured the barracks at Patrick's
We'll.
