GUNS NOT SILENT.

IRISH OUTRAGES CONTINUE. FEELING IN DUBLIN. NO FAITH IN PEACE MOVE. By Telegraph.—Press Amu.— Copyright. Received April 30, 9.5 p.m. London, April 30. live armed men drove in a taxi-cab to Messrs. Lee and Rathmine’s drapery store in Dublin and exploded a mine, completely wrecking the premises. The damage amounts to £20.000. The attack is believed to be dne to the firm’s refusal, to obey the republicans’ orders not to advertise in certain Dublin newspapers. The Earl of Midleton’s sister, who has been actively co-operating with irregulars in Kerry, was called to a halt while cycling at Sneam. on Saturday. She refused to stop and Free State troops opened fire and wounded her in the leg. She is reported to be in a critical condition. The signal cabin at the Great Northern terminus at Dublin has been destroyed by the explosion of a mine laid by th: Irregulars. A passing passenger train bad the windows shattered and seventeen persons, mostly girls, were slightly inhired. A correspondent states that this outrage is believed to be a protest by the extremists against de Valera’s peace jverture. De Valera is no longer able to control the unruly elements, who xtseess large quantities of mines, and ire able to do unlimited damage to private property. Nobody in Dublin puts much fait a m the peace move. As the Free State Government ignores it and will not make anv compromise with the rebels, it is feared further outrages will be mac ted in the next few days, but as in organised force the Republicans have seased to count.
