IRISH REBELS ATTACK
DUBLIN POST0FFlCE
Whereabouts Of De Valera Un-
known-losses In Cork trivial

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wv SS'N '''N'"'
London. Aug. 12.--(By A.. P.)--
Telegraphic communication between
London and Dublin was restored NJ 3 :4O
o'clock this morning after susren-
sion Of about five hours as n conse-
quence to the surprise attack by irish
irregulars on the Dublin Central Post
office. The attack resulted IN temporary
cutting off OF communication not only
with England. but apparently with
other parts Of Ireland.
Mengcr telephone messages during the
early hours conveyed the news Of the
attack in only the brefcst o,t-.ines,
which reported the damage and the con-
scquent interruption Of telegraphic COM
munication was due to the frcmen's
hose az much as to the incendiarism Of
the raiders.
Rumors that Eamon de Valera was
in Cork could not be confirmed, and
his present whereabouts was still un-
known today. The official report of the
comparatively trivial losses and of
prisoners taken In the capture of Cork
indicate that the main force Of the ir-
regulars showed little resistance after
the national troops landed on the coast.
