SUCCESS OF REBELS. TWO TOWNS RECAPTURED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Aug. 15, 7.4 p.m. London, August 14. Irish rebels again control County Louth. All the telegraph lines are cut and many of the civilian population have fled. This is a sequel to the rebels’ swift and unexpected descent upon Dundalk and Drogheda. The irregulars only recaptured Dundalk after severe fighting and through force of numbers. Surrounding the town, they released .prisoners from the gaol, took possession of all public services and commandeered trains to carry a force to Drogheda, which was also seized. The destruction of a number of railway bridges prevented the Free Staters sending reinforcements.
