The prime minister was able to sa} however, that Liberty hall, the head garters of the Sinn Fein party, and St. Stephen’s Green, which seemed tc have been the center of the rising had been reoccupied by the military who were being reinforced by troops from England and Belfast. Nationalist volunteers, Mr. Asquitk said, had turned out to assist the au thorities, while many local persons had offered their aid.
