TROOPS AFTER DE VALERA.
LEADER BELIEVED TO BE DISGUISED. By Telegraph—Press Asso-w.r'jn—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received April 14. 11.25 a.m.) LONDON, April 13. Free State troops under General Protit are scouring the mountains to which De Valera, Breen and other rebel leaders escaped when Liam Lynch was captured. The Belfast correspondent of the “Daily Express” states that De Valera is attempting to reach Cork. It is believed that he assumed a disguise. His escape hitherto has been due to his skill in making up. He escaped after the fall of Four Courts in the garments of a hearse driver. Breen is one of the worst and most desperate of the rebel leaders. He always carries two revolvers. He declared that he will never be taken alive.
