Rounding Up Sinn Feiners

London, June 8.

An official - communication from Dublin describes the Mill-street affair—in which, as already reported an encircling movement by military ended in a battle—as "ordinary search operations."

'A number of men were rounded up, but most of them have been released. Three who attempted to evade arrest were shot and killed.

The wire cutters who were surrounded in a wood at Gateacre all night long escaped at daybreak.

Four men suspected of wire cutting were arrested near Birkenhead after a pistol fight with the police.—Reuter.
