14th.— Ap
investigation
by
a
military
commission
on
the
fires
which swep:
the
city of
Cork
on Satur
day night and
Sunday
was
expected
(o
be completed
there
today.
Major
Gener-
al Strickland,
Commander
of the military
forces
in Ireland,
is the head
of {he com-
mission,
and
the raking
of evidence
be-
gan vesterday.
The Major
of Cork
and
twe
Sinn Fein
members
of
Parliament
have
been
called
to
explain
allegations’
they have
made
in
a despatch
sent
to
vi-
rious foreien
Ambassadors
here
relalive
tn
ouvtrages
which they
declare
to
have
been
perpetrated
in Cork during the past
week.
The
announeement
of the
com-
mission
was
awaited
with keen
interest
by
the people
of
London
today,
as
the
question
ol who
was
responsible
for
the
fires
in Cork has
assumed
great
import-
ance
since
the
conflagration.
In
the ab
sence
of clear
evidence
rival
elements
have been
doing their
ufmost
to fix the
blame
on
the
military
police,
or
the
Irish
extremists
respectively.
Sir
Ha-
mar
Greenwood,
speaking
lin
.the
House
of Commons
last
night,
asserted
that the auxiliary police did not
start
the
fires,
and
pointed
aut
shat
thev
were
nor
equipped
with
incendiary
bombs
which
new
despatches
assert”
were
used
o
stread
the flames.
Prospects
of a
tence
in
Ireland
aopear
1o
have
been
biasted
by the
most
recent
aevents
1n that island,
deciared
Sir
Hamar,
so far
as the.
repre-
senta‘ives
at
iine Kncelish
neople
and
the
representatives
of the
rish
are
concern-
ed.
Newspapers
generaily
deelare’ the
investigation
in
Cork shouid
:establish
the guilt
of
those
who
set
fire, and
they
demand
rhat
vurishinent
be
meted
out
to
those
respensibie
for
the
outrages.
The
wauonal
eredit
says
one
journal”™is
deeply
involved
as long
as
doubt persists
or
as
iong
as
any
proper
measure
re-
mains
to be
taken.
Some
newspapers
ex-
pressed
dissatisiaction
with the fact
that
the Cork investivauon
is
not
being
con-
ducted
by
civilians,
but
others
deciare
General
Strickiand
was
a
high
reputa
tion
tor impartiality and justice.
It was
recalled
by
Sir
Hamar
Greeawood
last
night,
that
following
a
rvecenr
atrempf™
against
the General’s
life that officer im-.
nediately
and
suceesstully
-took
steps
to
prevent
reprisal.
The telephone
ser-
vice between
England
and Dublin, whizh
