EXCITEMENT PREVAILS IN ULSTER; MARTIAL ASPECT; OFFICERS RESIGN; MUTINY All Regular Troops in Central and Southern Ireland Instructed to Be Ready to Proceed North at Mo ment's Notice—Activity Among Warships in Bel fast Harbor ANXIOUS EXPECTATION THROUGHOUT PROVINCE Leaders of Unionist Provisional Party Counsel Calm. Gov’t May Be Forced to Use Rig orous Repressive Measures. At Regimental Parade Arms Thrown Down. “We Will Have No Home Rule Here.” * London —A mutiny of two companies of the Dorsetshire regiment stationed In Belfast is reported by the Pall Mall Gazette. The Gazette messages: “When the men of the first bat talion of the Dorcetshire regiment were paraded in Belfast today and notified that they were being transferred else where. they threw down their arms. A sargeant stepped forward, saluted the officers and said: ‘‘ ‘We will have no home rule here.’" This is thought in some quarters to be an exaggerated version of the re ports of unrest among the regular troops In Ulster. Disaffection. London. —Outstanding features ol news from Ireland today consisted of the disaffection among regular army officers under orders to proceed to Ul ster with their regiments. The actual number of resignations remained problematical but that It was considerable was evident from the earnest consultations of cabinet min isters regarding the best means of counteracting the movement The actual fact of this disaffection is the more discomforting to the mili tary authorities since the army Is al ready seriously short of commission ed officers. Threats of Crisis. Threats of a crisis in the army If a movement of regular troops was undertaken against Ulster had long been current. In some quarters It Is believed the sudden marching of a limited number of troops was ordered so that the military authorities might gather an idea as to how widespread the threatened disaffection was. Immediately after Col. Seely, secre tary of state for war. had been in audience with King George today, Col. Seely summoned a meeting of the army council which took necessary steps to replace officers nho had re signed. Rapidly Increasing. According to reports, the number of vacancies is rapidly Increasing and it seems possible that all regular regi ments in Ulster may have to be re placed by fresh troops as both men and officers have expressed disincli nation to take the offensive against men with whom they have been frat ernizing. This momentary shifting of the Im mediate crisis from Ulster to the army may give the peacemakers their de sired opening. The return of Arthur J. Balfour, former unionist premier, to London has given heart to the ad vocates of a compromise. He and Pre mier Asquith have served long years side by side in the political field and understand and appreciate one an other. At Moment’s Notice.

Every “Volunteer” Stands Ready to Meet Impending Crisis Feeling of Unrest is Very Strong. King George Taking An Active Part in Negotia tions in London. Great Bustle at War Office. Belfast, Ireland.—Ulster this morn ing presented a martial aspect. All the towns were occupied by soldiers oT the regular army and detachments were marelnng along country roads on their way to strengthen garrisons. At all the unionist centers there was great animation among the “Ulster Volunteers.” Throughout the province a feeling of excitement prevailed and every body seemed waiting In anxious ex pectation for something to occur— they knew not what. Belfast Lough also displayed con siderable activity. Two torpedo boat destroyers, the Pathfinder and the At tentive, arrived there this morning from Kingston and landed five offl cers and 150 men of the Yorkshire Regiment at Carrlckfergus Castle. Within 24 Hours. Within 24 hours over 3,000 Tegular troops, including four battalions of Infantry with machine guns and two batteries- of field artillery all equipp ed for active service have arrived In the various towns oT Ulster. These troops form the advance guard of a large force which military authorities are sending to the northern province of Ireland to prevent the assumption of local government by anti-home rulers. Still more troops are on their way to the north from the military ramp at the Curragh and from other army stations today. First Arrival. The first arrival s in Ulster this morning were the companies of a half battalion of the Yorkshire Light In fantry which were conveyed from their barracks In Dublin to Belfast l-ough on board the torpedo boat de stroyer Pathfinder during the night. They disembarked early this morning and marched to Corrlckfurgus Castle, a disused military station command ing the I»ugh. It lies fifteen miles below Belfast and Is oT historic in terest owing to Its having been the landing place of William 111. Guns were mounted on the field there this afternoon. Orders were issued to other batteries of artillery to occupy strategic positions around the city of Belfast. Ready to Move. It was generally expected here that a cavalry brigade would be concen trated in Belfast during the week-end. The Queens loanees and the Fourth Queens Own Hussars, stationed at the C'urraugh, were yesterday equipped with carbines and were ready to move northward this afternoon. Tnese sudden preparations by the war offices so far have not created any public demonstration In Bel fast. The leaders of the so-called Union ist provisional government, however, admit their anxiety lest their over enthusiastic followers prec’Ditate riots during the two days of Idleness at the week-end and give thqir op ponents the sought-for opportunity of enforcing rigorous repressive meas ures. First Steps. Sir Edward Carson, Ulster Union ist, and his lieutenants desire the gov ernment to take the first provocative steps, Sir Edward realizing the vital ness of preventing an undisciplined outbreak as a protest against all these troops movements, today again urged the Ulstermen to keep cool.

All the places of business were open and in ac cordance with the urgent request of the Unionists leaders all the men worked until their usual Saturday closing time. “Cabinet Councils.” Sir Edward Carson did not emerge today from Craigavon, the residence of Captain Craig, miles Trom Belfast. There he continues to hold his "cab inet councils.” with Captain Craig, the Marquis of Londerry, the earl of Ranfurly the earl of Clanwilllam and other Unionists workers. Martial law has been declared within Caittaln Craig’s estate. The old town hall of Belfast, official headquarters of the "provisional government,” has been denied to all. Important equipment, documents, ciphers and other papers have been removed from It and hid den after being distributed among Important Unionist leaders. This was done because of the announcement of Impending arrests which the Unionists contend brought about the present crisis. “Volunteers” Ready. Every “Volunteer” In Ulster still stands ready for mobilization. The provisional governments "post ing house” by which letters and dls- ? latches are delivered by hand to the urthermost points of Ulster quicker than by the government post, was busy all night sending and receiving communications to and from Union ists mobilization centers.
