The General Officer Commanding in Ireland is, as was inevitable,
having recourse to isolation tactics. On Wednesday he reported that a complete cordon of troops had been drawn round the centre of the town on the north side of the river. In addition, news reached the G _vernment on Wednesday that Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the Sinn Fein military organization, had been wholly or partly destroyed and occupied by the troops. There was a small rising at Malec, in County Louth, and more serious ones at Swords and at Lusk, near Dublin. Finally, it is stated that our casualties were fifteen killed and twenty-one wounded, besides two loyal Volunteers and two policemen killed and six loyal Nationalists wounded. The casualties suffered by the rebels are not stated.
