preparing to offer stubborn resist
ance. Numerous houses IN the vicin-

Stocks of provisions sufficient to last
several months have been placed with
in the walls.
The situation of Glenveagh Castle is
ideal from the standpoint of defense
and it will be most difficult to take it
by storm. Nothing is likely to be done
in the way of attack until the situa-
tion in Dublin is cleared sufficiently
to release large number of troops. It
probably will require artillery, air.
planes and armored cars to carry on a
successful siege if the early routing of
the insurgents is determined upon.
The monotony Of the Dublin bom-
bardment was varied somewhat at noon
to-day when the Hamman Hotel. sup
posed to be the headquarters of De
Valera, burst into flames. At 1890
o'clock the white flag was hoisted, but
when the Free State troops advanced
with party of firemen fierce firing met
them from the Granville Hotel, next
door. One fireman and one soldier
were wounded. The party that had
advanced under the invitation of the
white flag then retired and the bonn
bardment was resumed
Flames Spread to Postoffice
The fire in the Hamman Hotel spread
south to the Hibernian Bible Society
Building, which is next door, and then
to the Offices of the streetcar com
pany, which is at the southern extrem-
ity of the posts held by the repub
llcans. According to one message the
flames also enveloped the general post
office and the Gresham Hotel, the larg-
est building of the group. The latter
was declared to be burning fear

There has been no explanation of the
emblem Of surrender, in the form of a
large white sheet, was waved by man
in civilian garb. He was posted on the
roof of the hotel and remained there
frantically waving the sheet, until the
flames forced him to retreat.
The snipers, who had grown more
numerous, did not spare the firemen
and many lines of hose were made use
less by the constant fire directed
against them. The firemen remaining
on the scene were made helpless by the
bullets which cut their hose and found
shelter behind the Free State troops.
Meantime the artillery continued to
pound the positions of the insurgents
particularly the postoffice, which seems
to be the strongest position held by
the republicans. This building has
been badly damaged by the 18-pound
shells. The besieged men are replying
only sporadically and spectators are
crowding around on the edge of the
firing zone watching operations.
Dwellers Unmindful of Battle
Most of the city dwellers have be-
come blase toward siege warfare and
move about from place to place freely
For this reason only small crowd is
watching the bombardment in O'Connell
Street. At intervals they see flashes
of fire from the muzzles of the 49,
Founders, then a cloud of dust when
the she'll hits and pulverizes the
masonry of building.
One incident that brought a smile
out of the spectators occurred this
afternoon, when cab driver, with no
sign Of fear, calmly drove his ancient
nag the full length of O'Connell Stree.
