REBELLION INCIDENTS.

MISSING SOLDIERS FOUND. HOSTAGES TREACHEROUSLY KILLED. (Received May (>, 1.35 p.m.) LONDON, May 5. Two soldiers in Dublin who were missing, escaped on Friday from the Post Oflice, where they were imprisoned. They have now been found unhurt, under the ruins of the Colosseum Theatre. Two officers and 15 men were imprisoned in a cell of the Post Oflice. Some bombs were placed outside the door and the prisoners asked if they must be left to burn like rats in a trap. The rebels opened a side door, liberating them into the street, but then fired a volley at them, killing two of the hostages and wounding a lieutenant.
