THE IRISH PROBLEM.
UNITED SERVICE TELEGRAMS. # NATIONALISTS FLOGGED. LONDON, July 31
At Belfast a commission has s> ntenced to varying term of penal servitude, some rebels convicted of being in possession of arms, ammunition, or bombs. Nine of the prisoners have been ordered floggings.
CORK SITUATION. *f/L (Received this day at 9.50 a.m.) LONDON, August 1. The following represents the situation in Cork, though all Munster favours the treaty. Republican gunmen are in full control seizing reveftue and generally administering the province. All means of communication between Munster and the rest of Ireland have been severed. The only possibility is a bi-weekly Boat via Liverpool. Republicans have commandeered all ears and lorries and are carrying food provisions from shops. They intend to prolong the guerilla warfare until December, in the hope that the Treaty will then automatically lapse, owing to non-rati-fication. Because of the rigours of Republican censorship, the newspapers in Munster find a difficulty in publishing. The Cork “Examiner” threnten- , ed to close down, but was informed that the premises would be blown up if it did so.
