(AUSTRALIAN • NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 3rd July.
The restdi of the fighting in Dublin up to midnight gives evidence that the back of the rebellion has been broken. The rebels have been driven into a congested area, with a. frontage of 770 yards to Sackville-street, Margaretstreet, and Parnell-square. Many more or less important positions have been captured during the enveloping movement. During an infantry . attack the rebels exploded several mines. The civilian population is whole-heartedly assisting the Free State troops. Many girls are working day , and night. providing comforts for the troops. Men are assisting in other ways in sterner duties. Free State reinforcements are reaching the city. Bishop O'Reilly communicated with De Valera from the American Consulate, which was forced to,remove to the Shelbourne Hotel. Firing ceased at 3 o'clock this morning, when the position was described as obscure. The next pioye is being awaited with anxiety.
