LONDON", April 20.?Parts of the

city of Dublin are in flames, an Even-,

last night says.

I nireti ugntuig continues onu more

<>Y AMOCIATBD

LONDON, April 29.?Although the

story of the early hours of the Dublin

uprising has now been disclosed

In considerable detail, England Is still

I without authentic information as to

the progress of later events. Normal

telegraph, telephone and mall service

with Ireland have not been resumed

and the existing means of communication

are subject to such strict censorship

that it Is possible to obtain

only fragmentary information. Such

news despatches as came through

j tills morning added little to the information

contained In last night's official

advices and stories of eye witnesses.

So far as official reports show the

situation In Dublin is gradually being

brought under control. The

most Important recent news that the

rebels had been driven out of St.

Stephen's Green with bombs sustaining

heavy losses in killed, wounded

and prisoners has not been con-}

firmed officially. There seems to be

no doubt, however, that the rebels

j still control vnrlous parts of Dublin

and that street lighting continues

with a lengthening list of casualties.

It is reported the casualty list already

exceeds 100. _

isl me situation outside (Dublin jlittle

is known beyond the ofllcial ad-..

mission that the disaffection has

spread to various localities in the I

] west and south of Ireland. Field

Marshal French's statement of last j

night described these disturbances as

local in character and so far as has

been revealed by information, which

has passed the censorship, they have

not been attended by heavy fighting.

REBELS STILL HOLD

CAPITAL OF IRELAND

DUBLIN, April 27, via London.

April 29?Fifteen hundred or so

armed men of the Sinn Fein had a'

hold on Ireland's capital today. After;

four days' of fighting their rebel flag j

still flow from a number of central I

points.

Since Monday some of the chief po-,

sltlons in the city have hen In tho

hands of the rebels. In defending

these strongholds against rebel

troops and Irish Nationalists volunteers

the rebels are fighting with desperation

for their lives, which they

know may be forfeited on account of

treason.

Regulars now command all the

rebel positions, the fal lot which is

merely a question of time.

When the Associated Press correspondent

landed early this morning

at the quay, the pinging of bullets

from rifles of snipers In the vicinity

was frequent. Augustine Blrrell, the

secretary for Ireland, had made the j

papernten. As he stepped ashore, ho

M shouted:

M "I wish you luck, gentlemen. I

don't know what will happen to you

I now that you are here."

j ; Soldiers and rebels flred at each

m ether from street corners, wharves,

III roofs and windows. Sentries with

I fixed bayonets on loaded rlfiles staI

tloned every few yards, shouted their

M commands to halt. Naval guns Joined
