Great Interest in Cork.

«'orl{. Irland. <lct. 25— Feverish in-
terest In possible developments caused
bv thp d «a1h of Lord Mayor MacSwIn-
ey of t1114 city, which occurred In Brix-
ton PrMon,' London, this morning is
mingled with the grief in which his
death hauhged South Ireland. Al-
though tlie people ap(H>ar stirred to
the highest degree of hltterness, It is
regarded as extremely improbable that
there will be any outbreaks or dlsor-
deily demonstration in tills city.
It is expected, however, there will be
a considerable extension and intensifi-
cation of guerilla warfare against the
police and military forces, which, an-
fieipiiting reprisals are doubling their
vigilance, especially in remote dis-
tricts. •
Cork Jail, where a number of hun-
ger strikers are I" grave condition,
is gnaidel inside and out by soldiers
equipped with mil chine gnus.
There Is an exceptionally large gar
risen here. «
It Is equipped for any eventualities.
Ihih a number of tanks and armored
cms and Is ready for Instant service.
Military forces are so strong that It Is
considered Improbable that any at-
tempt ill three will be made here.
It Is understood the Irish parlia-
ment had been making appeals to all
elements of th(. population to refrain
from violence. This Is also believed
to he tbe policy of various influential
leaders of tin* Sinn Fein movement.
Whether such counsels will be follow-
ed hv tb" younger element or by mem-
bers of the Irish repubh-an brother-
hood. cue ot the most militant or Irish
^secret societies, irmains to lie seen.
