Dublin Under Guns
Of British Warships
By SYDNEY B. CAVE,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, April 27.—Dublin has
been brought under the guns of Brit
ish warships that have anchored in
Dubjin Bay. It is believed, however,
that the military authorities have the
" revolutionary situation so well under
control in the Irish capital that it will
not be necessary to fire upon the city.
Reports that the rebels had sacked
part of Dublin were given official cog
nizance when Premlier Asquith an
nounced that there was no reason to
believe that the banks were unsafe,
The Government and the financlal in
stitutions in the Irish. capital are
guarded by troops and machine guns
have been mounted upon the roofs of
many bulldings to sweep the streets,
The proclamation stating that civil
aw has been suspended makes it evi
dent that the Sinn Feiners who took
part in the uprising witil be tried for
sedition, and some of the leaders may
e tried for treason,
OfMicial Information reaching the
public this morning was optimistie,
aithough the Government's policy is
pot trying to disguise the full serious
ness of the situation. The military
authorities have made progress In
putting down the uprising The
troops are making many arrests, and
all of the county of Dublin is being
disarmed.
Suspects’ Houses Searched.
Nm{m of suspects are being
searched, and a number of newspa
pers have been suppressed by the
Lord Lieutenant
The case of Sir Roger Casement,
the Irish nobleman who was cap
tured while trying to smuggle arms
nte Ireland, is closely Interwoven
with the present rebellion, and the

Teutons Believed Determined to

Prince’s Birthday.
WAR
By CHARLES F. BERTELLI,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
PARIS, ‘April 27.—~The German
bombardment of the Verdun front is
increasing in violence and it is be
lieved that the mass attacks which
usually follow such a terrific cannon
ade will be launched tonight or to
morrow. It is understood in {’nrh
that as May 6 is the birthday of
Crown Prince Frederick William. the
Kaiser is anxious to capture Verdun
by that date or secure dominating
positions for the German troops that
will assure their final victory,
The official communique issued this
afternoon reports only one infantry
attack by the Germans. This was
made in the Vaux sector by small
forces and was repulsed.
According to the communique, the
Germans centered their bombardment
last night ¢n the French positions
near Avocourt and at Cote du Poivre
(Pepper Hill). These two points, sit
uated on the west and east banks of
the Meuse River, respectively, are key
positions in the defense of the French
fortress, .
The fighting during the nine days
that are to elapse before the Crown
Prince celebrates his birthday is ex
pected to surpass in flerceness all the
sanguinary conflicts that have marked
previous German operations against
Verdun. Immense French forces, sup
ported by Russian reinforcements,
have been concentrated to meet the
attacks.
The Germans have brought up fresh
troops also. The Teuton military
roads have for several days been
bringing large bodies of picked Prus
slan trcops to the Meuse front

EL PASO, TEXAS, April 27.—Gen
eral Gabriel Gavira, Mexican - com
mapder at Juarez, informed the ln-}
ternational News Service today tht,
Minister of War Obregon had ar
rived at Chihuahua City on his way‘

Hugh L. Scott. General Gavira pre-|
'di"tfid a quick settlement of the Amer- |

“Everything is going toibe all right
when General Obregon arrives,” smd}
General Gavira. “He and the Ameri- |

rv, e Ouregon-Scott conference, as was
' stated In these dispatches yesterday,
\h the withdrawal of the ;\n)wrl--an,
troops in Mexico, It was learfied to- |
day, however, that the Mexican .\Hn-’
ister of War will ask an explanation
‘:uf the fact that the expedition sent tu!
hunt down Francisco Villa has been
&(wmnédnru‘z-l,\ increased since the de
'!;u-tn Government demanded the re
call of the expedition.
; At present there are at least l."-n‘l!
troops south of the border. 1t is un-|
derstood that all of the 2,200 rein
forcements which were hastehed U',
Columbus have crossed the boundary
into Mexlcan territory. I
General Obregon is also expected to |

Spanish Singer’s Beautiful Voice

Splendidly Displayed in Florid

E bl
| By DUDLEY GLASS.
; An audience not so large as that
lwhlch marked the opening per
formance but which comfortably
filled the Auditorium Wednesday
night sat in breathless atiention be
neath she ‘spell of Muria Barrfentos’
flawless voice, exhibited in the 90-
[,\'Oar-nld Bellini opera called “La Son

|after the news of her Lucia had
li[!l?lld, and it was not' disappointed
; Mme. Barrientos made a splendid
i.xmv:v».nn with the two lovely airs
| which come early in the first act, Her

| highest notes and floated down agaln
:‘n a bird seitles to earth She ‘.m-‘
peared to be singing absolutely with
‘mlt exertion and. indeed, to be rather
holding something in reserve, Only
the absolute silence the audience, ln-3
"nm on hearing ci»»e‘\ note, gave the
delicate coloratura made her voice
clearly audible in the further seats.
But she never falled to receive this
tribute
The duet with the tenor was beau
tifully sung by Mme. Barrientos, as
were the airs allotted he in the
chamber scene In the second act It
was not, howevey unt the last .u-'?1
that she found the opportunity for
voeal display which alone keeps l.a}

credea’” sung as the sleep-walker re-|
calls her happy days and the even|
mo™ ornamental aria at the very
close, “Ah, non glunge "
Voice Fairly Dances.
In these the singer ran the scale
in seeming deflance of difMiculties
Her voice danced up and «ln, the
pearly way as a Paderewski's n ger
