FURTHER DETAILS OF FIERCE ENCOUNTER.

SINN FEINERS USE BOMBS.

LONDON, February 26. Latest details of the ambush near Macroom show that the preparations for the attack were extensive. It is stated that the road was mined where it was attacked, and that intense firing followed the first explosion. Accard ing to another account the road was completely blocked by fallen trees, boulders and other obstacles, so that the police were forced to dismount and take cover. The attackers also used bombs. After a lengthy battle, the attackers closed in on three sides, compelling the police to retreat to- wards Macroom.

GERMAN REPARATIONS.

PARIS DECISIONS DECLARED IMPOSSIBLE.

BERLIN, February 26.

It is semi-officially stated that the final sitting of experts presided over by Herr Simons inanimously came to the conclusion that acceptance of the Paris demands was impossible on economic and financial grounds and that any attempt to find a solution on the basis of the Paris decisions must lead to collapse of the world's economic life. A memorandum approved by the experts demonstrates in detail that this is an impossiblity. The experts are declared to be unanimously agreed with the standpoint of the Imperial Government in its willingness to go to the limits of Germany's ability in

the firm counter proposals that must be made.

Kapp revolt, proposed to the industrial magnate Hugo Stinnes that if the German Government again broke down in its negotiations with the Entente, Stinnes should overtbrow it and assume a dictatorship. Stinnes, "who refused, described the plan as crazy. It is stated that General Ludendorff previously refused similarly and that Ehrhardt's following was not more than 4,000 men.

ANOTHER SEAMAN GROWES.

To the Editor of the " China Mall.”]

Sir.After reading the controversy regarding the desertion of seamen from their ships in American ports, British shipping, why it is that sea- I beg to ask those interested in men are living under the same filthy conditions as they were 30 years ago. Considering the part the British seamen played during the War, sacrificing life and everything that was dear to them, in order to provide England and her huge Army with food, it seems to me, the least, that could be done, would be to have similar conditions as the Americas ships. It is a degrading sight, and an everlasting shame to the English shipowner to see British seamen joining their ships each one carrying their straw beds commonly called Donkey's breakfast" through the streets. I myself am one of the many, who were driven from British ships, by the degrading conditions

under which no self-respecting man wishes to live. I would be glad if some of the many people would explain through your valuable paper. I am Sir,

Your faithfully,

D. E. ROBINSON.

AT LEAST SIXTY-SEVEN PERSONS KILLED.

LONDON, February 26.
