i OF BLOODY BATTIE WITH DEFEAT OF IRISH IRREGULARS Victory of Free State Troops Gained at the Cost of Many Lives and After the Destruction of Valuable Property All the Important Leaders of Revolution Made Prisoner Except De Valera. A despatch from Dublin says : The siege of the strongholds of the insur- gent Irish forces virtually ended with the surrender of small groups of the men who had been fighting for the past week behind the barricades, and the capture of one of the pricipal lead^- era, Cathal Brugha, former Minister of Defence. But the success of the National cause has 'been purchased at the cost of blazing buildings and ter- rible destruction in O'Connell street, to say nothing of the lose of life end the many seriously wounded. There is still no information as to the whereabouts of Eamon de Valera, who has apparently escaped from the Free Staters' net. While ten buildings, including 1 three hotels, were aflame, the remainder of the irregulars, driven into Grawville Hotel, with fire on all sides, still main- tained a desperate resistance with automatics and, rifles, but It was al- ready seen that they could) not long delay the inevitable end. The O'Connor-de VaJera insurrec- tion is ending in smoke. Throughout Ireland the rising has been a fiasco. It may be said that the whole north, centre and west of the Free State is quiet. Between Dublin and Galway one can travel without incident. Cork and its population are almost wholly against the irregulars. The most diffi- cult nut to crack will 'be in South Tip- perary, where the irregular force has withdrawn into Clonmel and has trenched and barricaded the roads leading into the town. The farmers throughout Ireland have been bitterly opposed to this in- surrection. As the days pass the opin- ion of the country becomes more and more solid against the men who have precipitated this folly. It is known de Valera himself was opposed 1 to it, and that he was "rushed'* by Eory O'- Connor, and only joined the movemenl after two days of wringing his hands, through fantastic motives of chivalry Arrests of leading members of the minority party include Art O'Brien President cf the Irish Self-determina- tion League of Great Britain, who with S. T. O'Kelly, former Dail envoy HI Paris, was taken in the latter": house, and Alderman R. J. Little, chief of the publicity staff of the de Valera party. A large number of prisoners are now in tJie hands of the Nationa army, but it is known that many ir regulars escaped during the attack on the buildings occupied by them. A member of the National army taken prisoner by the irregulars was held in the O'Connell street post-cfnee, and he describes the fierce nature of the bombardment that drove out the gar- rison, including Commandant Sean MaeEntee, former deputy for Monag- han, who with others seized a favor- able moment to make a dash for liber- ty toy a back street. It is already becoming apparent that some of the more youthful of the irregulars are tired of fighting. Unobtrusively they are drifting back to their homes and their work, and no one comments openly on the fact. It is felt, therefore, that the rebel leaders would not be able to command a very big following. In any case, they are not the only people who know how to wage guerrilla warfare, and with public opinion behind them the National forces would have the ad- vantage. CANADA'S ENVOYS TO LEAGUE MEETING Will be Represented at Geneva by Fielding, Larkin and Lapointe. A despatch from Ottawa says: Hon. William Stevens Fielding, Can- ada's veteran Minister of Finance; Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and Hon. P. C. Larkin, Dominion High Commissioner in London, will represent Canada at the third assembly cf the League of Nations, which opens at Geneva, Swit- zerland, on September 4 next. The two Cabinet Ministers will leave for Europe about the third week of August, and 1 they will be joined in London by Mr. Larkin. Mr. Fielding, in addition to attending the League Assembly, will spend considerable time in London and Paris on, matters relating to his department. One of the matters which it i thought may engage his attention while in Paris will be that of i uming negotiations with the French Government for a more comprehensive trade treaty between Canada and France than now exists-.

PANIC CAUSED BY FIRE IN NEW YORK SUBTERRANEAN RAILWAY Gas Fills Ten Cars in New York Tubes 75 Feet Below Sur- face with 500 Persons Aboard 160 in Hospital. A despatch from New York says: Fire, smoke, carbon monoxide gas and panic imperilled the lives of more than 350 men and women trapped in a short-circuited Interborough subway express train, 50 feet below the sur- face of Lexington avenue, at east 69th street, shortly after 11 o'clock local station, and the express tracks' are depressed ten feet below the leveK of the local track, there was a flash on fire and a loud detonation. Clouds of smoke rolled up from burning insulation as the train came to a stop in darkness broken only by small storage battery lights at either on Thursday, and 125 passengers were) end of each car. Guards played the chemicals from small emergency hand extinguishers on insulation ablaze be- neath the three forward cara and one fire in the emergency motor-man's switch box in the front of the car. The smoke, occasioned im ate discomfort to passengers through- nut the train. As the tunnel filled with smoke and the noxlou* gasj alarm grew into panic.

Eighty-seven persons were attend- ed in Bellevue, Flower and other hos- pdtals in the central section of the city for partial asphyxiation. Of that number 57 were able to go to their homes after being treated, but the condition of thirty was so serious that they had to reman at the hospitals-. The comfortably filled ten-car train, bound uptown, had just left Grand Central Station, when passengers and guards smelled smoke. The train's next stop would have been Eighty- sixth street.
