fectly tranquil. A small .mber OF rebels con-
way tc the coast, but the national troops have
been SO disposed that escape is thought tc be i'm
possible: Troops have been sent to ,MalaAide, a
watering place in Dublin County, Ireland, in the

disaffected districts are again working, and COM

wounded. AS far as known at present, he is the
only person who has been hurt. The police Of
Cuherciveen got news Of the trouble by other mes-

band stopped the mail on the road from Killarney
to Caherciveen, but they did no violence to any
one. In fact, nowhere has life been taken or prop
erty destroyed. -.
The Fenian plan was to attack Killarney, capture
the place, and then march to Cork. But the i'm
mediate dispatch Of troops from Cork to Killarney,
by Cen Bates and the oeiesy Of Co. 6 a9rsfords
the insurgent band to disperse:. The horse OF
Fenian courier was caught by the troops, and q
couple Of swords were picked up i; but no men have
