Cork, June 80 (Associated Press).--
There was intense activity throughout
the day by the irregular forces here in
expectation of an Immediate attack upon

been no fatalities among the irregular
troops in the courts.
AN official statement issued tonight
from military headquarters says:
There were no sixty Founders used
at any time in the bombardment Of
the -Four Courts. When the situation
became hopeless the irregulars ex-
ploded some ground mines. causing a
detonation which resulted in casualties
to more than thirty national troopers
This explosion caused the conflagra.
'tion which consumed the building and
ultimately caused the irregulars to
surrender. In no instance were artil-
lery pieces beyond eighteen Founders
used.
ION Thursday twenty-five prisoners
were taken. and 10 surrendered to-day
at the courts"
The statement records q fight be-
tween Republicans and regulars at
Listowel. in which one regular was
killed and twelve wounded, and adds
that after the fight an agreement was
signed by the opposing commandants

were not served by civil war. they. as
patriotic Irishmen. decided to unite

newspapers to-day publish articles
charging that A. Bruce Bielasli of
New York practically arranged his
own kidnapping last Saturday. Secre-
tary of the Interior Gales and Secre-
tary Of War Serrano also are quoted
as making statements to that effect.
1t is reported that the Mexican
Department of State is preparing to
submit evidence in an effort to sup
port the charges. Americans here ac-
cept Mr.. Bielaski's account of his cap
ture and escape and declare 1t is a
case of pure banditry perpetrated by
Mexican army deserters with Ia
patista sympathies.

former American consular agent at
Puebla, two years ago several local
newspapers claiming to receive their
inspiration from official sources now
declare that the abduction last Sun
day of A. Bruce Bielaski by Mexican
bandits was accomplished at his own
instigation for purposes which may be
revealed later.
This same charge 1t was recalled to-
day was made against Consular Agent
Jenkins although an investigation of
his case failed to substantiate the
charge
The Excelsior says to-day it has
been informed by department Of the
Mexican Government that there is
sufficient data to cause the belief that
the Bielaski case has the earmarks OF
self-instigated abduction"
The newspaper says the Foreign office
has made representations to this effect
in its answer to the note from the
United States Department of State ask
ing for the apprehension and punish
ment Of Mr.. Bielaski's ahductors.
Several newspapers quote Secretary
Of War Serrano as saying that the case
is surrounded with many curious and
mysterious Incidents" and that a COM
plete investigation has been ordered.
Mr.. Bielaski's friends insist that a

thrown about the incident with the de.

deafening explosions that shook the CEN

picked UP in the streets showed that
they once had belonged in the offices,-of
