A despatch from London says : â€" I Martial law has been declared through-' out Ireland, and Major-General Sir John Maxwell, who until recently | commanded the troops in Egypt, haa, gone over to take charge, the Irish; executive oflPicials having placed them- selves under his instructions. He has been given full disciplinary powers for the extension of the operations and the ruppression of the rebellion.^ The revolt which broke out in Dub- lin has spread to other parts of Ire- land, chiefly to the west and south.' This information, together with the fact that the rebels are still in pos-: session of parts of the city of Dublin, \ was given to the nation by the Minist-j ers in Parliament on Thursday. There had been a small rising at! Ardee and Louth and a rather morej seriou.s one in Swords and Lusk, close to Dublin. Truupg are Adequate. Premier .Asquith, who on Wednes- day hail fjiven reassuring news re- specting the situation in Ireland, caus^ed something of a flutter of anxi- ety by his statement on Thursday in the House of Commons when he an- nounced a spread of the movement to other parts of Ireland, the retention by the rcvolutionalists of certain parts of Dublin and the fact that fight- ing was still going on in the streets. The. government, the Prime Minister further announced, was convinced that the forces now in, Ireland and those proceeding there were adequate to deal with the situation. Restore Order First Replying to a question whether the Government had been warned of a dangerous growth of sedition. Premier Asquith said ; â€" "The first and paramount duty of the Government is to restore order and to stamp out rebellion with a'l possible vi;ror and promptitude. That we are doing. "Behind that there is undoubtedly an obligation which rests upon the Government of making a searching investigation into the causes of and the responsibility for these events. That obligation we fully recognize and intend to discharge. "Our allies already have been made aware by Sir Edward Carson and Mr. Redmond," the Premier added, "that the movoment is sectional only, and has no sympathy from the repres- entatives of the Irish leaders." Mr, .-Vsiiui-h said that for obvious reasons he did not like to name the other places to which the trouble had spread, but there had been in the west and ;outh, but particularly in the west, places where thert' was a de- velopment of the movement. Very stringent precautions vk;j!re being taken by the military authorities to deal with these places. Ufficial Report. "The military operations for the suppression of the rebellion in Dublin are proceeding satisfactorily," says a communication issued by Field Marshal French, commanding the home forces, late Friday night. "What may be described as the organize<l forces of the rebels," the communication adds, "are confined to a few localities, the principal one be- ing t'he Sackville Street district, in which the rebel headquarters appear to be the General Post-office. The cordon of troops around this district has been drawn closer, and the rebels in this locality are now confined be- hind their line of barricades. "Sniping from houses in which small parties of the rebels have estab- lished themselves in various parts of the city still continues. The district where this is most prevalent is that north-west of the Four CourtJS, which are still in the possession of the re- bels. The clearance of these snipers is a matter of time. "In other parts of Irelanii the prin- cipal centres of disturbance are in County Galloway and in Enniscorthy. j Disturbances are also reportsed at , ICillarnoy, Clonmel and Gorey. Thew other parts of Ireland appear normal. "The general trend of the reports | indicate that the disturbances are lo- cal in character." Rebellion's Back Broken. A despatch from London says: An official statement issued on Saturday night by the Official Press Bureau regarding the situation in Ireland says : "The general officer commanding- ing-chief, the Irish command, has re- ported the situation in Dublin much more satisfactory. Throughout the country there was still much more to be (lone, which would take time, but he hoped that the back of the rebel- lion had been broken. ' "Saturday night messengers were sent out from the rebel leaders in Dublin to the rebel bodies in Galway, I Clare, Wexford, Louth and Dublin > Counties, ordering them to surren- j der, and priests and the Royal Irish j Constabulary are doing their utmost i to disseminate this information. "As regards t-he situation in Dub- lin, rebels from the areas of Sackville Street, the post-office and the Four Courts are surrendering freely. More \ incendiary fires took place in Sack- ville Street on Saturday night, but j the fire brigade is now able to re- sume work. "It is further reported that up to the present 707 prisoners have been \ taken. Included among these is the Countess .Markievicz. i "The rel)els at Enniscorthy are re- ! ported to be still in possession of this ' place, and a mixed column of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, including 4.7 j guns, has been sunt from Wexford wil)h a view to engaging the rebels. I The latest information from Ennis- corthy shows that the rebel leader at this place (joes not believe the rebel leaders' message from Dublin, and has proceeded to that city in a motoi- car under escort I'd verify the inform- 1 alion. I "A deputation for a similar purpose from the rebels at Ashbourne ( County Mci'.rh) has also been sent to Dublin. .\t Galway the rebels are believed to be disbanding, and few arrests have i been made. ".At New Ross, Gorey, Wicklow, Bagenalstown and Arklow the sibua- tion is reported normal. Carlow and Dungarvin .iie believed to bo quiet." bent L,BOt WEEK'S NEWS OF THE W.VR. The English coasb was again visited by German warships on Tuesday morning. They were sighted off Lowestoft by the British local naval forces and wore engaged. They fought for twenty minutes and then fled. Before fleeing one of the vessels fired into Lowestoft, but little damage was done. Two men, a woman and a child were killed. Ab the sam e time fire was opened on Yarmouth, and one or two buildings were slight- ly damaged. About the same time a fleet of Zeppelins made a raid over the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. This is the region in which are situated Yarmouth and Lowesboft Some bombs were dropped, but a fog made it im- possible for the enemy to get any ac curacy of aim. The British fleet shelled the sea coast in the neighborhood of Zeebrugge on the 24th. It is reported that three German desbroyers, after being hit, were forced to withdraw into the harbor. Little opportunity is being given the enemy forces to concentrate in Egypt. Aeroplane reconnaissance keeps the authorities advised of any hosbile movement. During the week an attack was made on Quatia, but the force used was not sufficiently strong, and a withdrawal was necessary. But this was only for a day. Stronger forces were brought up and the enemy had to flee. Canadian troops have been in action almost continuously during the week. In the neighborhood of St. Eloi the Germans have been making frequent attempts to recapture the crater positions taken from them on -March 27, but the men from bhe Dominion have repelled every attack and caused much loss to the Germans. In the neighborhood of Verdun the French are taking the offensive more and more. They are also proving the superiority of their artillery fire over that of the Germans. There has been considerable fighting during the week, especially in the neighborhood of Dead .Man's Hill, but the French not only successfully defended that position, but even retook some trenches on the northern slope which had been captured from them some time before. ( The campaign in Mesopotamia gives ground for anxiety. The Tigris is still in flood, and the advance of the British force to the relief of Kul-el-Amara is delayed. There has been some fighting with the relieving force, and the enemy have made groat claims which have been discounted by the despatches of Sir Percy Lake. The Russians, since they captured Trebizond, have kept up bheir advance westward along the shore of the Black Sea. No sooner had the first Russians who landed at Marseilles got half-way toward the battle front than an- other force equally big was reported as having landed there, boo. There is now no doubt of any intention of Russia to make any peace before the .Allies do. The Leading Markets J BraadBtnffa. Torftnto. Muy 2. â€" Manitoba wheatâ€" NoJ 1 .Noithein. $1,2R; No. t. do..

Townshend SurrenderH With 9.000 Troops. A de.spatch from London says: After holding out for nearly five month.s the liribish army under Major- General Charles V. Town.shend, which had been be.sieged by Turkish armies at Kut-el-Aniara, has been compelled to surrender because of the exhaustion of supplies. In the of- ficial announcement of the surrender which was issued on Saturday after- noon, it is stated that Major-General Townshend's army consisOed of only 2,P70 Briti.sh troops and l),00() Indian troops. To prevent the Turki.-^h foi-ces from capturing them all the British guns and ammunition were destroy- ed before General Townsheiid sur- rendered. The surrender of a British army is an event of very rare occur- rei'oe, and much sorrow was caused in I ondon by the announcement. -*-- BRITISH CASUALTIES UIKING APRIL. Total- From .Ml Fields of Operation in Excess of Those of March. \ despatch from London says: British cu.siinlties for April, as com- piled from puljlL-ihed lists, are slights ly in excess of those in March. The total from all fields of operation is l,25r> officers and 19,250 men, com- pared with 1,107 officers and 19,317 men in March. BELGIAN COAST AGAIN SHELLED BRITISH E.VIl'LOY .1 BATTLE- SHII'S, 18 DESTROYERS AND JO MLNE-SWEEPERS. The Rotterdam correspondent of the London Daily Mail, telegraphing Thursday, says: ".\ Briti;h squadron resumed the bombardment of the Belgian coast at 4 o'clock on Thursday morning. Mine-sweepers have cleared the coast waters of mines, and nets have been laid to guard against submarines. The Germans anticipate a severe at- tack. "In Thursday's bombardment the British force consisted of three bat- tleships, 18 destroyers and between 30 and 40 mine-sweepers and mine- layers. Two of the battleships bom- barded the coast between Zeebrugge and Knockc, including Heyst and Blankenborg. The fire was answered by the German batteries. The third battleship concentrated it-j Are on three German torpedo boats which left the harbor immediately after the attack began. One of these was hit several times, and returned to the harboi- seiiously damaged, supported by consorts. "Thorough preparations were made by the British before the bombard- ment, Dutch territorial waters being marker by colored buoys." I GER.MAN OFFICER ' MUST STA.ND TRIAL. Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus Was Denied. Boston, .Vpril 27. â€" Werner Horn, who attempted to destroy the Inter- 1 national Bridge at Vcnceboi-o, Maine, ' on February 2, I'.tl.'), must stand trial | .on a charge of illegal transportation i 1 of dynamite, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals ordered on Thurs-j day. J, ' SWISS FRONTIER CLOSED BY GEK.MANY. A despatch from Paris says: The (ierman-Swiss frontier has been closed ' since Monday afternoon even to mails, I says a despatch to the Matin, from Berne.

GERMANS FELL VIQIMS TO THEIR OWN FRIGHFULNESS Gas Directed Against British Front Broke Back Over t:nemy Trenches With Satisfactory Results. A despatch from London says: The Germans have made several attacks against the British lines during; the past> 48 hours, but have everywhere been repulsed. Under cover of gas an assault was attempted opposite Hulluch, but the gas broke back over the enemy trenches, and the Germans were seen leaving their trenches and running to the rear on a front of about seven hundred yards. .Judging h\- Ihr- n'.'ni!)er of ambulances seen coming up Oj Hulluch, declares Sir I Douglas Ihiig's repoit, the enemy must have ."uffeiod considerable cas- ualties fioin our artillery and his gas. The giouiid behind the enemy lines was colored by gas on a front of about a thousand yai'ds to a depth of three thoiiHainl yards. Gas was also libeiated nor#i of the Messines road on a 2,000-yard front, but' the infantry attack which follow- ed was broken down 1)y tho British j lire. An attack with bombers at an- other point wa.-; etjually unsuccessful. NO MORE FARM HANDS FROM UNITED STATES. Only Poor Glass of Men Can Be Secured Now. A despatch fioin Toronto says. The Ontario Department of Colonization and Immigration has recalled its spe- cial officers from Michigan, where they have been drumming up farm hands to relieve the scarcity of help in Ontario. The venture proved a suc- cess, close to five humlrcd men having been secured, bub the floating supply of good men has been exhausted, and those available now are not considered of proper quality. There are lots of good farm hands in the State, but the special officers when they went after them found that the farmers had mosb of them tied up under contract. The schenu' to get farm hands has helped more than the farmers. Some of tho men secured, after landing in Ontario and getting wibhin the sound of the bugles, have promptly enlisted for overseas service. The Department of Agriculture is now satisfied that with the men secured and the help of retir- ed farmers and High school boys re- leased for farm work the .situntio;i this summer will b« well met. The Lowestoft correspondent of The London Daily Mail says: â€" i 'The scream of shells and their dc- ; tonation as they burst inland wa.-- ; the first intimation the people of Lowestoft had that for the second time German Dreadnoughts were otT their shores. The people sprang from their beds, peering, toward the sea, where, looming througlj^ the mist, could be seen great gray shapes here and there picked (Uit with flashes of flame as another shell came inshore. "The inhabitants scraml)led into their clothes and, catching hold of their little ones, hurried out, not in panic, but out of curiosity, to the shore to watch and count the German shells. Seaplanes Chased Back. "The enemy did not have his own way for long. The watchers aw Ger- man seaplanes, which a few minutes before had left the vessels, come hur- rying l)ack. The reason was soon ;ipparent. b'roni the south came little clouds of smoke, drawing nearer every moment. A rousing cheer was â-  given as it wa â-  .seen that the smoke was coming from British cruisers and destroyers. I "The l)ig German ships loosed : stieam of shells at tho approaching \ ships and then swung to tho oa t, but ; the German .Admiral again changed ; his course when ho found that tho i British (orce was not nearly equal t( ' his five great cruisers and many de-' stroyers. j "'Every moment wo expected to! sec our ships blown out of the water,' said one of our watcher^-. 'Our com- para'ively small ves.sels were seeking to get at close quarters to the Ger- man giiints and a perfect storm of shells screamed aross the water to- ward them, but whoevei- conimar.ded our ship:- had great courage. Raiders Hit Frequently. "'The German shells were falling all around our craft but they did not reply until well within range. Then' time and again they hit the (ierman monsters. Once we saw a volume of flame leap from a funnel of one of the, great warships. .Another suddenly! : taggered bu^ in a second righted it--' self, though we could see steam and] smoke coming from uini ual place.s. "•Our ships were bit -they could, hardly escape, so thickly did tho (Ger- mans plaster the water with shells. The sea w;i;i so churned by the fast moving ship.; ;!nd the expliuling shell , that V. looked like foam, .Suddenly we saw a aeroplane coming from the, north at a terrific latc. Whatever i message it brought the Germans lur'i- ed tail and made off at h-gb speed ti-' thy nor h .'ast. .\s they fled one of the; giants seemed in troul)le.
