One thousand prisoners were taken to Dublin. Half were deported to England. The city is safe.

About the same hour (10 o'clock) in the county of Meath, the rebels came up with the white flag, offering to surrender on behalf of their comrades. They were taken to Dublin Castle where they interviewed Pearse, who told them.the actual state of affairs. Shortly afterwards the rebels in Four Courts and St.'Stephen's Green surrendered. The few remaining at Jacob's factory and the College of Surgeons surrendered at 3 o'-clock in the afternoon.

The rebels at Enniscorthy on Sunday night offered to surrender their leaders and arms if the rank and file were allowto return to their homes, but they were informed that the surrender must be unconditional and they accepted the terms at 6 o'clock this morning.
