Manifesto to People.
Dublin, June 30. (By A. P.) A
manifesto to the people of Ireland
issued toilay by the provisional free
state government says:
For forty-eight hours the soldiers
of your army have unflinchingly
borne the brunt of battle against the
forces of anarchy in your capital.
Some of them have given their lives
and many others have been wounded
in the defense of your rights as
citizens,
"You are faced with a conspiracy
whose calculated end is to destroy
the treaty signed by your representa
tives and endorsed by yourselves.
Under that treaty the government
and control of your own country
and its resources have been sur
rendered back to you after centuries
of usurpation, lou are asked to re
ject this surrender and engage in
hopeless and unnecessary war with
Great Britain.
Fighting for Republic.
"The people in the Four Courts
say they are fighting for a republic.
In reality they are fighting to bring
the British back. Remember, we
ask no man or woman to yield up
any ideal or principles. Liberty will
oe secured to all under constitu
tional guarantees, but it will be a
constitutional liberty and no man
shall be permitted to do violence to
the views of his neighbors or the
will of the majority.
"Least of all will profession of
ideals or principle be permitted as
an excuse for undermining the peo
ple's right to security of person, se
curity of property and freedom to
live their lives in their own way as
long as they do not trespass on the
rights of others."
Lincoln, June 30, (Special.)
iieorge fc. Johnson, state engineer, in
an open letter today, declared W. H.
I'hetk. chairman of ioint road com
mittee of Omaha, had given out in
terviews criticising the slate depart
ment in charges that are absolutely
untrue.
In his letter Johnson repeated each
charge and answered it. They fol
low:
Denies Irregularity.
I. That the Mate department and
Douglas county had awarded a con
tract for hitutithic pavement.
"This is untrue, says Johnson's
reply, "and Cheek could find it out
if he cared to look it up at the court
house."
Z. That there is an irregularity in
the contract with no time limit set.
"If Cheek will just read the con
tract." Johnson answers, "he would
see there is a time limit."
3. That the contractor is required
to pay the expense of inspectors,
which virtually gives him control of
the inspection.
State Furnishes Inspectors.
"This, too, is untrue," conies back
Johnson. "The state furnishes its
own inspectors; the work is checked
up by independent inspectors; and
there is a legal provision forcing this
procedure."
4. That the contract is illegal and

Chen, Reported Slain,
Active Against Sun
Canton, j'une My (Ry A. P )
The hostilities which Dr. Sun Vat-
Sen, president of the overthrown
Canton government of China, ha
been promising as a rc.ult nf In
ousting from that city, seemingly an
about to begin, but the at!greor. it
appears, is to lie Suns conqueror,
Chen Cliiuug Ming, rather than Dr.
Sun.
I hen, it is reported, ha sent a
regiment of men under the leadership
of a brntadier acneral, Chun Win
Sen, to attack about 5.000 of Sun
troops who have been operating
some distance southwest nf Canton.
Chun, who is a isle graduate, in a
statement yesterday declared that
Chen had refrained front action up
to the present because he desired to
have any aggression that might de
vclop come from Sun.
Latest advices indicate that the
navy still is loyal to Sun, hut Chen
is reported to entertain no fears that
it will attack Canton, largely because
of his faith in his artillery, whirh is
stationed along the river over which
the ships would have to operate.
It is reiterated that Chen has of
fcrcd Dr. Sun safe conduct out of
Canton, and this safe conduct now
has been made to include Sun's more
immediate followers as well.
