RE-APPEARANCE OF DE VALERA. LONDON, Aug. 25. A new rebel attack in the nortli is feared. Do Valera is reported to have appeared in Dundalk, and his presence synchronises with reports of a fresh blow which the robels aro planning against Dublin. Do Valera dramatically reappeared in Louth, where there is a formidable band, commanded by General Aiken, who recently recaptured Dundalk for the Irregulars, and who has his headquarters in the Carlingford Mountains. Mr Mulcahy, backed by the Provisional Government, proposes to adopt stronger tactics in dealing with the rebels’ guerilla warfare, which Dail has been invited to approve when it meets. It is considered certain that Mr Cosgrove will go to London shortly to confer with British Ministers. Many telegraph and telephone wires in County Dublin liavo been cut. Errigal House, a handsome mansion, has boon destroyed by (ire. The Government troops carried out an extensive sweep in County Limerick and drove tho rebels from Glenstal Castle, inflicting casualties and taking many prisoners. With the capture of Kinsale and Buinanway by the Nationals, the Irregulars no longer ’hold any posts in Cork. Tho seizure of Kinsale was effected by a surprise landing in open boats at the western end. Fire was opened when tho disembarkation of the Nationals was noticed, but it was quickly silenced. The Irregulars fled, having destroyed the military quarters. It is understood the Irregulars, whose drooping spirits have revived since the death of Michael Collins, are planning a new dash on the capital.—A. and N.Z. cable.
