Though desultory firing recommenced on Tuesday night, it was quickly suppressed.
The firemen are pulling down burnt and shell-shattered houses.
Twenty-six dead rebels were found in the offices of the Dublin Express.
The Exchange correspondent at Galway states that 500 Sinn Feiners, who have led a fugitive existence outside of Galway for the last few days, are being brought in in dozens and lodged in gaol.
They offered no resistance to arrest.
The authorities hold evidence connecting the rising in Galway with Germany.

The Daily Chronicle's correspondent, who toured the west of Ireland, says he is left with the impression that the action of the rebels was sheer lunacy.
He watched the rebel prisoners brought in from the Galway hills, which parties of armed police in motor char-a-bancs are scouring.
Many peasant farmers, through the assistance of the Congested Districts Board, were beginning to taste prosperity, with new homesteads, the latest agricultural appliances, and excellent breeds of cattle and sheep; yet these men by desperate gambling are thrown back to the old days of crime.
A rebel army about 1000 strong, of which 200 carried firearms and the rest picks, pitchforks, and home-made bombs, was under Captain Mellows, who was recently deported from England as a dangerous conspirator, but who immediately purchased priests' clothes and returned to Ireland in disguise.
Directly the rebel scouts announced that the military were approaching, the rebels retreated and took refuge in the mountains.
Those arrested include Professor Steinberger (a German teacher in the university), Professor Walsh (of Galway University) and Coroner Nicholls.
• Representatives of the Maoris interested in the fishing in the Washdyke lagoon waited upon the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. G. W. Russell) on Monday, in reference to a dispute with the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society (says the New Zealand Times).
They stated that from time immemorial the Natives had possessed fishing rights in the lagoon.
The right had now been questioned by the Acclimatisation Society, largely owing to the misconduct of a European, who had shot swans there.
They asked the Minister to secure for them their ancient right to take eels, flounders, and whitebait from the lagoon.
The Minister said it was clear that as far back as 1868 two acres of land bordering on the lagoon had been granted to the Maoris for a site for their huts.
He was inclined to think that, owing to encroachments of the sea, the huts were now on the side of the lagoon opposite to the original reserve.
He would have a report made by his officers, and would then place himself in communication with the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society.
Mr Russell added that he was strongly of opinion the rights of the Maoris under the Treaty of Waitangi should be respected by the Government at every possible point. - ODT, 8.5.1916.
