Fire Bombs Wreck City Hall in Cork Six Explosions Destroy Part of the Building; Volleys of Bullets Follow the Blast CORK, Oct. 9 (By The Associated Press).? Tart of the City Hall here was ! destroyed by bombs about 4 o'clock this morning. Six explosions were j heard. Then came considerable ride I fire. So far as known there were no j casualties. The damage was confined chiefly to : the rooms in the west end of the build ' ing. One of these, which was used by i the water department, was burned out by fire following the explosions, and the ? departmtn's books and records for fifty ! years were destroyed. The bla:'.e was prevented from spread : ing by the stone partition walls. The adjoining rooms, occupied by the j Department of Public Health, worn I damaged by explosions. The theory is i that bombs were thrown into them through the windows. Large pieces of cast iron, like shell casings, and bits of metal similar to shrapnel were found in the debris. The offices of the engineering depart? ment, above the wrecked rooms, were ' not damaged, but many windows in front of the building were pierced by j bullets. A bullet was tired through the ; window of a room occupied by Daniel i Ring, the night watchman, who tele ? phoned for the fire brigade when the first explosion occurred. Although the curfew limit had ex? pired an hour previous to the attack, the fire brigade was halted by patrols at Parnell Bridge, leading to the Al I bert Quay, upon which the City Hall is ' situated. The firemen, after some de? lay, were permitted to proceed. They quenched the flames and saved the re : mainder of the building. It has not yet j been decided whether the fire was caused by an incendiary bomb or from j the ignition of gasoline. The reports on the occurrence say ? that from four to six explosions took i place.

"Then suddenly they seem to strike a new stage and drop down. "The skin is now drawn over their faces as tight as a drum and all of them are hollow-eyed. Every day their cells are freshly sprayed." The official expressed admiration for the care being given the men by the nuns. "I never saw anything like the nurs? ing the hunger strikers are getting," he declared. "There is not O bed mark on any of them. They have new mat- \ tresses made of eldc rdown. These mattresses are more than two feet : thick and the sheets lire stretched so tightly there is no crease whatever. The patients lie on air cushions reach- ; ing to their shoulders. They are covered with blankets as light as down. ; The temperature of the cells is never allowed below 63 degrees fahrenheit, and the water bottles with which each prisoner is surrounded are renewed with hot water day and night. Most of the time the prisoners lie absolute? ly inert, and onl; the breathing and the heating of their hearts show they are alive." Secret Treaty Story Denied U.
