Firing in Cork Barracks

London, Feb. 11.

Both the Ballykinlar police and the military authorities immediately launched a detailed investigation into the raid, which was a small-scale repetition of the recent raid on the Dublin arsenal, when ammunition and small arms were seized.

Another report from Ireland stated that several shots were heard in the Cork military barracks today and that two sergeants were seriously wounded. Both received man; wounds and one of them was in critical condition this afternoon. All troops in the barracks at the time of the shooting were Eirean and there could be no question of terroristic attempts. One member of the garrison was jailed after the incident, it was learned. Seemingly he was responsible for the affray.—Havas.
