THE IRISH CRISIS.

SERIES OF OUTRAGES BY SINN FEINERS. LONDON, Nov. 2. Telegrams from Dublin state that the series of outrages seem to suggest a pre-arranged attack on the Royal Irish Corfstabulary throughout the country. Between Sunday night aud noon on Monday attempts were made on the lives of 52 policemen. REPRISALS AT TRALEE. LONDON, Nov. 2. Further reprisals are reported to have occurred at Tralee. Uniformed men fired through the streets, one man being killed and several wounded. Notices posted in Tralee state that unless two policemen now in the custody of Sinn Feiners are released by this morning, reprisals of a character unprecedented in Ireland will occur at Tralee. It is reported that the bodies of the two missing men have been found in a field outside the town riddled with bullets, and the -inhabitants, expecting a night of terror, are fleeing. The shops are shuttered, aud the streets deserted. One hundred and twenty men ambushed a police patrol at Carrick, on the Shannon, one being killed and three wounded. The remainder, with the lorry, were captured. TO BE COURT-MARTIALLED. LONDON, November 2. The Hon. Winston Churchill, in the House of Commons, stated that as a result of inquiries into recent events in Ireland, several non-coms, and men wil be court-martialled.
