DECEMBER J. leo
The Is OF January or thereaboui, was the time fixed
br James stephens IN his American speeches for the com
ucncemcnt Of the nsurrccuonary struggle IN this eoun-
try bat the pace at which matters are proceeding
venture 20 say the attempt cannot be delayed al then IL
is likely take place day much nearer to tins LIST of
December
Al thi, moment a consciousness OF impending danger
seems TO III every heart in Dublin. The people look un-
woatcdy serious and troubled, nervous and alarmed.
The sbopkccpors doleiul faces Very little business
j. being done beyond that which caanot possibly be
people sat up several nights during the week fearing
10 20 their beds lest IN the mean time the dreaded out
brrah might be commenced
10 dav as pass through the streets perceive
usual number Of oiter evidently strangers TO the city,
They arc able young fellows apparently from tho country
Whether there anything in it, is more than can say,
the presence these young fellows IS very noticeable
In many OF the country districts tho alarm felt u still
greater dreadful OF insecurity peryades the loyal
,t in outlying parts remote from the military garsonsi
and applications for the dispatch OF troops 20 them are
constantly pouring into Dublin Cattle Many OF the
landlords have put their mAn0ns into condition 10 stand
siege in fact some of them adopted that precautionary
measure months ago, but Others are now going on
with H. As specimen, take tie following extract from
private letter which received from friend within the
Ia Il few days:
Lord Darney hA arrived at his Irish country Trim,
from England For month before bis arrival his mansion
il into little Cronstsdt Wooden ships OF date iron
plating all the goso iron shoproof window shutters and
doors have been placed IN this mansion ana nave

he avcs home o'clock midday nor does he prudent soul
think OF returning TIL the hour on the following day
Many similar instances could be referred TO. The pre-
cautions above mentioned but trivial compared TO
those the residence Of Lord Cabery Castle Feke in
the west part OF the county OF Cork Where measures
not csored TO- the course taken by the land
lords is TO provide their houses with good supply OF
arms and ammunition, 10 be used by themselves, their
sons and their dOmestcs against any maraudng parties
that may present themselves.
Meantime panic letters pouring into the loyal news
papers and panic Headers being published in them.
One writer The Times complains that at every street
corner of this city may be observed doubtful unemployed
military men, Of the Hankee-lrsh stamp. They have
been docking here in from all parts during tue
week" Then he makes suggestion: Allow me to
recommend the immediate sending 10 Ireland OF at
least three bsttaous Of the Guards and one regiment OF
Household Cavalry; and in another month dozen further
regiments Of English Scottish soldiers should follow;
otherwise may be involved in civil war before we are
expect it, Another correspondent OF the same Journal
puts forward four prOposons lst the drafting Of add
tonal troops from England and Scotland I'd, that the
troops serving in Ireland should be the first TO be supplied
with the breecl-lOa1cTs the immaculate pTOclamu-
ton Of every county in Ireland, without exceptions 4h,
all the young and able-bOdied men Of the enrolled pen
soners 10 be called and placed in charge Of the mill
tary barracks. In the Dublin journals there IL much
camof for the getting up of loyal organization Of the
citizens 10 be armed and Differed blythe Government ana
it is argued that the very least that can be done is to have
Thousands Of special consabes sworn an some OF
the ofcourse fierce. One OF them says no
mercy should be shown 10 the mscals, II an outbreak
should be attempted "Giye them drumhead court mar
ia and il guilty string them up street gbbetsto strike
country ever again being similarly disturbed oy foreign
Adventures" correspondent Of another journal docs
not suppose the terrible warning would be remembered for
quite long time Approaching better tho whole facts
Of the case and the lessons of Irish history ne fances that
II it should defer the present generation from another
:Sn IiS s TsSe .a sSSd & law
should be directly proclaimed, and the action OF the
military authorities be quick sharp and decisive that
don.' Well it would appear that really as much as
could be expected Nearly every generation OF lrshmen
for hundreds Of years has rebeed against English rule
and could hardly be supposed that rebellion in 1900
would 80 change the hearts Of the race that they woud
rebel no more.
While the subject of tho press allow alude to an
article published in The Times OF Tuesday, which has
evoked very bitter feeling here and which likely to DO
as long remembered that In which short time after
the famine and emigration Of H-Sg Il gave vent to It's
feelings in the extant cry the Irish are gonegone
with vengeance In last Tuesdays article ~ tels the
Irish in very plain terms that in case OF rebellion they
would meet with exactly such treatment WIS dealt out
20 the rebels in India aud Jamaica over and over
again II says we have in foreign papers the ex-
pessve taunt that II England do nothing else she
knows how to suppress rebellion That taunt we have
seen before the Jamaica rebellion and before the Indian
nuiiny. Should there be another Ipsh rebellion
there will be 10 false sympathy nor even respect for
those who take part IN II. NO government ON
earth tie the hands and restrain the passions Of sub
Drddates the spot in the heat ~ the conflict and half
naddened by the sight and report of recent atrocities
We would rather give the warning now while warning
an be gwen than have 10 make, days too late
die remonsrdnoes and months too late st ider com
laints. How vain IL ~ 10 talk about Jamai'a now that
~ - over How vain Il may possibly be to t.I about
