with rioting by Sinn .FFHH‘T! (Separ

Commons this afternoon. British
forces have also been moved into
Southern Ireland from Belfast. The
Fremier also stated that martial law
has been declared in " Dublin and
throughovt the county.
The Premier's statement says, in
part:
“Troops have arrived at Dublin

law has been proclaimed at Dublin
and throughout the county.”
Mr. Asquith indicated that part of
Dublin is 2till held by the rebels, say
ing Liberty Hall and Stephens

Stens ;ifl“ being taken to arrest all
concerned.”
Birrell to Go to Dublin.
It was officially announced that Au
gustine Birrell, Secretary for Ireland,
would leave this afternoon for Dublin
if the city could be reached by an
available route,
Some anxiety was felt here over the
whereabouts of Lord Wimborne, the
Lord Lleutenant of Ireland, although
no advices had been received up to
the time this dispatch was written to
indicate that he was in any danger.
Private advices which came from
Irish guarters outside of Dublin said
that machine guns were used in the
streets in Dublin and the loss among
the separatiste (rebels) were heav Y.
Fires were started in the Irish capi
tal at the height of the fighting and
some bulldings were destroved. The
postoMice bullding., about which some
of the flercest fighting raged. was rid
died with bullets and all the windows
smashed
Government Scored
The Government was bitterly critl
«»4 by some of the leading lL.ondon
papers today for not having aken
precautions sxtanaive enough to pre
vent an uprising It has been known
for some time that the revolutionary
feeling in Ireland has been growing
This has heen fostered by the follow
ng aAagencies
1. The proposal that conscription be
extended to Ireland
>. The action of the British Gover
ment in not allowing the home rule
Wil to go into effect
