IRISH REBELS WILL
LAY DOWN ARMS
A. P- A Service.
KINGSTON, Ireland, May i
—After severe fighting through
out Sunday, during which many
of the Sein Finn rebels were com"
pelled to surrender, a proclama-J
tion was issued by provisional
President Pierce advising the(
surrender of all rebels and their
followers in order to prevent fur
ther slaughter of unarmed people-'
The proclamation says that,
resistance against the troops is]
futile as the republican forces are
hopelessly outnumbered and sur-j
render is inevitable. Pierce warns
the rebels that in order to save
the lives of their followers who
are surrounded and facing certain
death they should give over the
unequal contest
Closely following the Pierce
proclamation, the members of the
provisional government announc
ed that they would treat for terms
but were informed that the only
terms that would be conceded
were unconditional surrender.
After a conference with some
of the leaders it was decided that
commanders of the various units
of the republican forces will or
der their followers to lay down
arms With the surrender of the
Dubin rebels the pacification of
the remainder of'the country will
be speedily aconiplished. The
fighting yesterday was of particu'
lar severity in the n?ighbodhood
of Ballsbridge- An announce
ment reaching here this morning)
/B ates that the party of rebels
who have been in possession of
the College of Suregons since the
beginning of the outbreak sur
rendered.
Much fighting occurred in the
streets with the troops using ma
chine guns. Among the prison
ers taken was the Countss Mark*
ievicz, who has been an active
supporter of the republican cause
and has also assisted in the fight-!
ing of the past week.!

ft. P. A. Service.
SEATTLE, May 1.—Engineer
Kramer of the Alaska road com
mission arrived in the city last
night on his way to Fairbanks
where he will make preparations
for the commencement of sum
mer operations at the interior end
of the line.
Kramer says that there will be
an immense amount of work on
the Fairbanks end this year. “We
do not contemplate any rail lay
ing this year, however,” he said i
Our operations this summer will
be almost entirely directed to the
work of preparation. We are go
ing to get things ready for actual
construction next year The work)
to be done this summer consists
of clearing the right of way,!
grading and also the building of!
wharves and docks at Nenana for
the handling and storage of sup- i
plies brought in by the river
route.
We also intend to commence
the construction of wagon roads
from Fairbanks to Nenana coal
fields'which will mean the open-;
ing up of the fields to the Fair
banks market. The work ol
grading, etc., will proceed both
ways from Nenana and'all pos
sible efforts will be made to have
everything ready for laving the
rails next year There will be
three engineers with residence?
at Fairbanks.
The entire force will be under!
Riggs and wilk consist of mysell
as special disbursing officer, with
Williams as my assistant, W. }.
Hubbach, chief accountant, sev
eral stenographers and the neces
sary clerks. The force at Nenana
will be in charge of F. H. Bailey,
who will direct all construction,
M. A. Defoe will be superintend
ent of construction. H. P. Curtis
will be in charge of the commis
sary store, M- P. Murray will be
in charge of accounting matters
assisted by W. B. Rayburn and
Francis Roths jp, together with
a large number of engineers and
draughtsmen.
The work of placing the Ne*
uana coal fields in touch with
the markets of Fairbanks will be
hastened as rapidly a|s possible
as it is the intention of the gov
ernment to make the coal availa
ble to the public as quickly as
possible.
The opening of the Nenana
beds should be a matter of great
importance to the people of Fair*
banks owing to their bearing on
mining operations at or near that!
town. Kramer estimates that at.|
least five hundred men will bel
employed at the Fairbanks endl
this summer. He expects to take;
north about twenty five men on|
the next steamer.

ADMINISTRATION LEADERS
SPEEDING LEGISLATION
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, May i.—
The administration leaders are
making every effort to speed up
the work of legislation so as to
bring an early adjournment but
so far there has been little evi-j
dence of their efforts as congress!
appears to be in the same dilia~
tory mood as was displayed dur
ing the earlier months of the
present session.
Legislation is moving but at
a very slow pace- Having finish
ed with the submarine contro
vcrsy the legislators are are still
wasting much useful time in dis
cussions of army bills. By many
it is thought that he efforts to
reconcile the house and senate
army increase bills is a hopeless
task and it is even surmised that
the matter of increasing the mil
itary forces may not be decided
during the present session. The
prospects for trouble with Ger
many over the diver situation is
just now prominent in the dis
cussions in both branches of con
gress although the majority ad
tnit the belief that there will be
no breach in the relations of the
two countries.

GERMANY IS
WITHHOLDING
ANSWER
A. P. A. Service
W ASH IN GTO N, M ay i
Despite the expectations of an
early reply to the American note
to Germany and the early reports
of Ambassador Gerard indicating
belief that the German reply
be in his hands by Saturday, no
answer has yet appeared.
Announcements from the state
department today indicate a be
lief that the German answer is
not expected now until the end
of the present week The with
holding of the answer by Get -
many is causing much specula
tion and several officials express
the opinion that something has
happened to cause the Berlin
government to reconsider their
earlier intentions. Owing to the
earlier indications of the German
intentions as expressed by Gerard
and others it is not thought that
the -raiser has changed his mind
concerning the main issues but
is desirious of thoroughly sifting
matters before giving an answer
which must be in the main essen
inal final.
