-Ultimatum is Ignored

Dublin, June 2S-(By A. P)-Mich-
ael Collins, head of the Irish free
state government took active meas
ures today against the Republican
insurgents under Rory O'Connor. in
their stronghold in the center Of Dub
lin, Four Courts. An ultimatum for
the surrender of the insurgents was
ignored, and at the expiration of a
brief time limit free state troops in
armored cars and motor lorries began
a movement against the insurgents;
which was met with an immediate
fusillade from the building.

We're heavy exchanges although at
intervals the firing ceased. Small ar
tillery. trench mortars and machine
guns were employed by the attacking
forces, but the irregulars confined
themselves largely to machine gun
and rife fire. No attempt was made
to carry four courts BY assault, but
one of the walls of the building was
preached at various places.
The casualties are few in propor-
ton to the nature of the fighting, and
they consist for lie most pair of civ
ilians caught in the line of fire. So
far as is known tonight, seven were
killed and a score more or less seri-
ously wounded. This does not include
any casualties that may have been
suffered by the irregulars, these being
impossible to ascertain.
Less than 1000 Free state troops
are engaged in the present operations
and it is known that the irregulars
number several hundred.
The free state troops did not inter-
fere with activities at Republican
headquarters in Suffolk street, where
canon DeNalera and his colleagues
met as usual. Mr.. DeValera declined
to make any statement on the present
warlike situation.
The provisional government, once it
decided to suppress the revolt of the

measures. 1t is handling the situation

Nevertheless, his eccentricity is
