5lapsing everywhere except in the
Cork district where. it is believed
important events may be expect
ed soon.

Whereabouts are in circulation,
one to the effect that he still is in
the vicinity of Dublin and plans
to attend the funeral of Cathal
Grugha there today, in which
case it is said his arrest may be
expected.
The supposition that the Re-
publican leader would be arrested
upon his appearance in Dublin IS

is suggested the provisional gov

at liberty believing his capture
would be rather an emb barrass-
ment than otherwise.
