UNREST IN IRELAND.
PROTECTION FOR MR DE VALERA LONDON, July 30. A Free State ,senti-y at Tallaght Camp was astounded at dawn to hear a shot, accompanied by a shout of “Hands up.” He returned the fire. Thirteen gunmen had approached the camp, and concentrated their shots on the guard tent. The guard replied with 60 rounds, driving off the attackers, who disappeared in the darkness. General Duffy, says the Dublin correspondent of the Times, declares that the police are protecting Mr de Valera, because they recently discovered he was in danger of assassination. Mr de Valera, however, declares that he did not desire this protection, and had refused to allow a detective to accompany him in a motor car. “The arrangement is small safefuard,” ho added. “My house has been urgled since the protection started.”
