CONTROL LOST.
DE VALERA DISCREDITED. ANOTHER OUTRAGE BY REBELS. Bt Tolegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received April 30, 12.10 p.ra.). LONDON. April 29. A signal cabin at the Great Northern Railway terminus at Dublin was destroyed by the explosion ot" a mine which had been laid by Irregulars. A passing passenger train had its windows shattered, and seven persons, mostly girls, were slightly injured. A special correspondent states that this outrage is believed to be a protest by the extremists against De Valera's peace overture. De Valera is no longer able to control the unruly element, who possess large quantities of mines and are able to do unlimited •damage to private property. Nobody in Dublin puts much faith in. the peace move, as the Free State Government will ignore it and will not make any compromise with the rebels. It is feared that further outrages will be enacted in the next few days, but as an organised force the Republicans have ceased to count.
