of the ambush, shortly after curfew,
two brothers named Delaney are
reported to have been taken from
their homes and shot, one subse
quently dying. '
During 'the hour before curfew,
terrorism held sway, and yhen the
streets were emptied of civilians,
loud explosions and rifle and re
volver shots kept up until early
morning. The explosions appeared
to come from incendiary bombs, as
persons who ventured to look from
their windows saw fires break out
in St. Patrick street and daylight
revealed the full extent of the dam
age. Several Missing.
It is not improbable that lives
have been lost in the fires; already
several persons' connected with the
destroyed houses and busmess
premises are reported missing.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon people
were just beginning to yenturi again
into the streets; the whole city was
then in control of the military and it
is understood that the officer ;n com
mand assured the populace that the
military would remain on difty in
definitely to prevent further destruc
tion. The troops are in full fighting
order, pickets with machine guns )
ing posted at all vantage points.
Only one large drapery establish
ment is left intact in Cork.
At 6:30 p. m. a special train left
Dublin for Cork, carrying Captain
Myers, chief of the Dublin brigade,

building. This is the third time it

but this time the hall was set alight
in many places.
The great hall seating 3,000 and
having a fine organ, shared the fate
of the municipal premises.
The fact that no serious casualties
were caused by the bombs is ex
plained by the statement that prelim

the attacks.
This Man Dead Twice,
But Still Says He's Alive
Chicago, Dec. !2. Fred Emich is
getting tired of telling people he's
still alive. When a report goes out
once of a man's death he can cap'
talizc, on it like Mark Twain and
ated."
Riit whpn the reoort iroes around
a second time, and you even receive
flowers, it gets tiresome. At least
Fred thinks so. He was reported
first as being killed while in the
front line trenches in France. He
did have three bullets in him. but
they didn't suffice to kill him.
Just the other day Emich was out
automobile riding and had a smash
up He wasn't even hurt, but next
day he received a big wreath for his
funeral.
He ,returned the wreath with
thanks, and now asks that his
friends wait for positive confirma

Yank FinWln Spain Lose ,
Millions by Exchange Drop
Barcelona, Dec. 12. The dollar
exchange has reached seven twenty
here with nothing on top of it to
keep it from goin higher. It is
estimated that American firms h;ryc
lost several millions of doflars in
contracts through the sudden rise
and there is -a decided tendency at
retrenchment on the part of the
many Americans here engaged in
importing American goods.
Banking experts are pessimistic
concerning the future of the peseta.'
All indications are that it will con
tinue to drop in value and some
predict that it will range itself by
the side of the French franc in thq
near future. The balance of trade
for Spain in the last six months has
been at a ratio of 2 to 1 in favor
of the United States. Now Spain
has embargoed nearly every export
able article, including oil; leather,
and skins, and manufactured pro
ducts. -
