Excitement in Ireland-The Fenians
Giving Trouble.
We find the following cable dispatches
in our daily exchanges and give them for
what they may be worth:
Dublin, Feb. It.
News has been received that the Fenians
assembled this morning at Killarney and
marched toward Kenmore Troops and
artillery were sent in pursuit.
london, Feb. 1t
The government denies the truth Of the
stories about the landing of ship loads of
Fenians at Valentia. It is admitted that
there is a serious revolt at or near Kilar
ney. The telegraph wires near Valentia
we're destroyed for a long distance, and rio,
and pillage were rampant. A coast guards
man was killed.
London, Feb r.
Later.-About 500 Fenians, commanded
by Col. O'Conner, retreated to the hills
near Killarney. British troops have been
posted at Mallow junction, in the county
Of Cork, commanding the hill district.
The excitement in the neighborhood is
intense, and many are leaving precipitately.
An ex United States officer has been ar
rested at Killarney, on suspicion Of being
Fenian.
A large number Of marines at Portsmouth
have been ordered to proceed to Ireland
Immediately.
London, Feb. Is.
The telegraphic lines in the insurrecton-
airy districts Of ireland, having been cut in
all directions, and the news received from
tha; quarter is suppressed by the authori-
ties for prudential reasons.
A large Fenian party has been surround
ed by the national troops in Loomis' wood,
and the chances for escape look exceeding
ly small The band Of 500 which r6treated
to the hills of Killarney, are still at large.
The uprising is TINS far confined to Kerry
and Cork counties, and it is not believed
that the trouble will spread any further.
The government stated to Parliament to-
day that Colonel Towards force was alto
gether too small to follow band of armed
Fenians into Loomis' wood, but the colonel
had already some hope OF surrounding the
invaders and preventing their escape.
The authorities of Ireland have assured
the government that the present rising is
totally stopped.
London, Feb. l6,
Ireland is entirely, quiet. Chief Stepk-
ems is reported to be there, but the danger
seems to be past. LOOMS wood, where,
when severely pressed, the Fenians took
refuge, was secured by the British troops
and the insurrectionary bands were dispers-
ed The government, however, will imme-
diately send mois ships and troops to Ire
land.
London, Feb. l6.
Eve.-The county of Kerry is proclaim
ed to be in state of seige.
The policemen who was shot was not kill
ed. A large sum is offered by the govern
ment for the arrest of the assailant.
1t is now said that Col. O Connor is none
other than Stephens.
Twenty Americans are reported as acting
with the Fenjans.
Dublin Feb. Il.
The outbreak at Killarney has come to an
end, and the band of insurgents have dis
appeared. A hundred and forty Fenians
have been arrested and are now in jail.
London, Feb. IS
Noon Ireland is perfectly tranquil. A
number OF rebels are concealed in the woods
and endeavoring to escape to the coast, but
the troops are so disposed as to ftustrate
them.
Troops have been sent to Maahila to ar
rest Stephens, who is supposed to be in that
vicinity.
London, Feb. 1S-Evening
The cause of the Fenian outbreak in
South ireland is yet buried in obscurity
| though the telegraph lines through the
! dlsatfected districts are again working
Some say that it was caused by the arrest of
| an American officer, Captain Morrlarty,
while others say his prompt arrest prevent
ed general rising Of the Irish. The British
government had news Of the affair early on
| the 18th. 4 servant III the household of
| the Earl Of Kenmore lad received two
anonymous notes. stating that a rising was
planned in Killarney, and the leader would
reach Killarney from Coharicveen that
night A constable was Immediately sent
, to intercept him. They met wagon on
which they found Morriartg, whom they
| took into custody, and upon searching bis
person found letters confirming the asser-
| tlons made IN the anonymous note.
A courier named Duggan, was sent to
Coharicveen to warn the police. A party
Of rebels caught him while on his way, and
demanded his dispatches, which he refused
| to give up, and attempted to escape. They
fred upon him, and he was badly wounded.
As far as known at present he is the only
person hurt. The police of Coharcveen
got the news of the trouble by another lncs-
senger, and from several spies among the
Fenians. They were strengthened by de-
tachment from the man ofwar Gladiator,
which was lying off Valentia One band cf
fenians, ninety in number, took horse
from Kills tor their leader. OCoEnell.
Another party stopped the mail on the road
from Killarney to Uohaficyeen, but did no
violence to any one. In fact, nowhere has
life been taken CT property destroyed
The Fenian plan was to attack Killarney.
capture the place, and then march to Cork
but the Immediate dispatch of troops from
Cork to Killarney by Gen. Bates, and the
celebrity OF Howard's movements d feated
the whole plot, and caused the insurgent
band to disperse.
