"The rebel preparations were ostenta

"Is It expedient or even safe that In
the crisis of the great war such a man
should hold the chief executive office of

The Dallu Telfiiraph says:
'This week's happenings In Dublin are
the result of moral weakness and lark

would urge that he Is not the man to

RISING SET FOR K ASTER
The mysterious "cipher message"
from Ireland that told on Monday of
the Dublin uprising hours before the
English censor let tho new through con
tinued yesterday nnd brought what
many Irish Americano believed to bo per
fectly reliable Information that tho Irish
situation Is far more serious than news
despatches said.
These messages, received by several
Irish Americans here .mil printed In at
least one (lei man newsteipnr, told of nil
Irish revolt that spread far beyond Dub
lin. Tlie contents of one was communi
cated to Jeremiah A. O'Letity of .is I'arlt
How, president of Ihe American Truth
Society, and anld the revolt was on
throughout all Ireland except I'Uter,
Another message received In Mnn I'cln
circles here was Unit Holn MacNelll,
otherwise known an l'rof. John M.ic
Nelll of Dublin University, leader of the
Irish Volunteer, had been ahot In the
Dublin righting. He was also editor of
tho Irhh Volunteer, which In Its I'sue f
April 1 denounced violently Ooi eminent
efforts tu disarm the Volunteer?, who are
now leadline the Dublin molt Irish
ewspapers here had no conllrmallou of
this report.
Still another message stated that the
Insuntents exceed lO.oOO.
German Offlrcra la Ireland.
One nioM circumstantial message,
printed In a German newspaper, told ot
the return to Herlln after a long espio
nage trip through Ireland of VTupt, Kd-
uard Hollmann und a lleuteiMlit-com-
mander whose name was tot given, both
)f the German nav According to this
meuage, the two officers were well dis
guised and were nb1 through their pro-
nciency in rcngusn ana even in speiia
Ing with an Irish brogue to confer with
Irish Nationalist leaders and to ascer
tain valuable military secrets.
Another cipher message repeated the
report that came to many Irishmen here
that l.ord tmd I.ady Wlmbome had been
taken prisoner by Irlstj Volunteers, along
with Gen. Friend, commander of the
uritlsh troop In Ireland, and other offi
cials. This meauige repeattvl also the
version that they were held as hostages
for air uogcr aseniem.
Of Sir Roger himself, the "under
ground route" said cterday that Ihe
expedition that resulted In hie capture
was not the first trip he had made, to the
Irish coast In a German vessel loaded
with munitions. The other Irtys, It was
said, wore successful.
These mysterious cipher cable are
being sent. It was said yesterday, by
fneans of a cleverly concealed code that
was worked out In this country months
ago by Sinn Keln sympathisers and
members of the German aecret service.
The messuges are said to be on the luce
of them harmless private communica
tions about plain, everyday affulrs. The
arrest of Sir Roger Casement U 9ald
to have been "grapevlned" here In a
message telling of the Illness of a rela
tive of the addressee.
Every Irish leader, every English or
Irish Matcaniaii as well as every town
and county of Ireland Is said to have
a name In the secret code, which In
turn has n number of substitutes In case
It Is lost or dlbcoverrd.
Revolt Korelala Weeks A.
This was one explanation of the mys
terious advance Information of th Irish
situation that has como here In the
last few days. Jeremiah A. O'Leary.
who said the news of the capture of
Ixrd and laidy Wlmbome. (apparently
Incoirect) was told him by telephone as
the. capture of "himself and herself,"
said yesterday, however, that he be
lieved the news of the Dublin revolt
mine from a Hrooklyn Irishman who
got a letter two weeks ago that In
some unexplained manner passed the
censor.
Thli letter, he said, foretold the re
volt, saying that the Sinn Keln had
planned the seize the Dublin post office
and olhnr points, kidnap the Lord Lieu
tenant and start revolution all through
Ireland. Tho recipient of tho letter
spread the news, he said, and as the
uprising was set for about I'-aster Sun
la. It was taken for granted It had
been begun on time Mr. O'lary would
not glvu tlie name of tho Hrooklyn Irish
man. Shane Leslie, nn associate editor of
Iflunil, which favors John Redmond,
sain yesteruay mm tie ntarn lernally
some time ago that the revolt was
likely because of pre. helium disturb
ances and the postponement of home
rule during the war.
'The real and moving cause was Ger
man conspiracy." said Mr. trestle, who
deplores the revolt. "The blorsl of the
slain lies on Germany. The Irish people
are. not responsible; the source of the
revolt wa.1 outside. I expect soon to
hear from Mr. Redmond about tho sltua
Hon. Ilo probably will si ml a message
to Irish Americans. '
