IRON ne NeD York Tribune.
The embryo Fenian bud appears to be slowly ex-
panding under the genial influence of these soft
April showers and warm sunshine, so that probably
the early summer VIII bring the iu bloom and long
ported avorabY YESTERDAY on their future prospects
Hardly even for an instant do they doubt their
ability TO cope with the force of England, army,
navy, police, volunteers and all The sailing of the
expedition already announced in the Tribune, is
confirmed and they evidence desire to add or re-
tract the statements q ready published.
1t is declared, however, that the announcement of
bermuda as the destination is intended as blind,
which the Canadians appear 10 thoroughly under
stand, If an opinlon may be formed from the alarm
created in that quarter which scores OF kilograms
and messag es to Fenan dIPnItaries announce to eX
lst there. We have authority Tor stating that there
is no lack OF Fenian arms and munitions OF war,
which have, it Is said, been purchased for little or
nothing. 1t Is confidently asserted that of the
Enfield rifles and cannon captured on southern bat
te-feds during the ia Rebellion will find their way
back to British territory, win at least Of the
fast steamers let loose on American commerce will
again be armed TO do good service against the flag
from beneath whose neutral folds it issued.
1heintelligence published recently in reference to
Fenlan movements drew large numOer Of persons
10 the headquarters to satisfy Themselves by per-
sonal inquiry that the information is founded on
TACT. Among those who visited Union square yes
with ISL yer locks and ia tering step" but whose
heart still throbbed ardently for his own loved
Emerald Isle" He rushed up the steps of the
mansion, and, as soon as he entered the building
anXiOusly inquired for Colonel O'Mahony When
asked hls business vito the Head Centre he declined
to answer and waited more than two hours Tor
audience. Finally, whom he admitted TO the
presence of the Colonel in whose breast are hidden
all the arcana of Fenanlsm, the old man SAID enthu
slastica ly -
"Colone is 1t thrueS'
"What do You mean my manY
"Tel me, for Gods sake, is 1t thrueY
Coonel O'Mahony-"I do not understand you"
Old Man-"ls 1t thIue that they have gone TO the
oUld land and that they are going to give the
saXons batIngY and as he spoke the old mans
Gs kndled and sparkled with all the concentrated
hate with which his race regard their hereditary
foes"
Colonel O'Mahony assured his visitor that an
petition had sailed, be could not tell hIm for what
point upon which came the eoinder:-" May the
Lord bless you, Colonel, and God sind the boys
luck, and cd be good 10 ther sOws dead alive"
and alter giving expression TO this questionable
benson the old man left to communicate doubtless
TO large circle of nquring friends the intelligence
which appeared to give him such hearty satisfac-
ton 1t IS no uncommon thing for the Bond Agent,
Mr.. Collins, to receive the price of bond bv in
staments, from 25 cents at q time to 81. There
few days.
Many of the persons who joined the Brotherhood
some weeks ago and subscribed money, in the Deief
that boslties would be Immediately commenced
but who subsequently fell away and lost courage at
not seeing the immediate realization of their hopes,
have again come forward with renewed earnestness,
ardor, and enthusiasm. Preparations are being made
for the reception OF Mr.. Stephens whose arrival has
been all eady officially announced, and probably the
excitement in Fenian circles will reach its acme when
the President of the Irish Republic stands freeman
beneath the standard OF the Great Republic.
