Dublin Customs
House Is in Ruins
As Result of Fire
Building and Important Docu
ments Destroyed by Fire
Sinn Fein Blamed for ,
Outrage. j
Dublin, May 26.-(By The Asso
ciated Press.) At noon today th.;
cuKtoni house, which was set alirc
Wednesday .afternoon by a raiding
party of civilians, officially declarer
to have been Sinn Seiners, still was
burning. All the interior had been
destroyed at that hour, but the main
walls were standing., as was the
dome, the chief architectural feature
of the building, and the clock wai
keeping time.
A high official stated that th:
most important document of the
local government board had been
saved. ,
This, Dublin castle announces, is
the work of Sinn Fein forces, which
Wednesday, made the most formi
dable attack against government
property that has been engineered
since the present rebellions began.
Employes of the departments
housed in the buildings were made
prisoners,, vast iiuantities of petrol
were poured over the interior of the
building and the light was applied.
Soon military lorries crowded with
soldiers appeared and a battle en
sued.
The Sinn Feincrs occupied the
iisfnms house and from the win
dows met the soldiers with a heavy
fire. Machine guns and rides re
sponded and a strong cordon was
thrown around the building.
When the flames became too hot,
the raiders attempted to escape, but
several were hot and killed and
many wounded. According to tli
official statement, seven civilians
were killed. II wounded and 111 cap
tured. -Four .' auxiliaries verk'
Meet Death in Flames.
Crown forces, in a sortie, entered
the" building and made many cap-
i turcs. Soiiie raiders were saturated
with petrol and it is believed several
met their death in the flam:s.
Destruction of the Dublin customs
house constitutes the most serious
damage since the rebellion. The
building, of which notihng remains
but the shell, was erected during the
Irish parliament and was one of the
most beautiful in Ireland. It had
little to do with the customs, but
housed many of the chief adminis
tration departments and its destruc
tion is more detrimental to the. or
dinary machinery of the government
than if Dublin castle had been
burned. -
