patch of three additional Russian steam
ships filled with officers and sailors, which
sailed recently from Finland. The Russian
authorities are supposed to be making ready
to take advantage of the scanty protection
OF British interests on the Canada coast
The English Government has taken steps to
keep itself thoroughly informed of every
hostile move that can be made in this coun-
try, and swarms of British agents are con-
stantly at work.
The British representatives have positive
information that the chief object of the
negotiations of Irish leaders with the Rus
sian authorities is the giving Of assurances
that Ireland will be assisted, and that in
case of war the revolution i'll Ireland will
have the aid and cooperation of Russia
1t is understood that i'll case an attempt is
made in Canada to enlist men for the Eng
lish army for foreign service, the Irish
Brotherhood in the United States will make
feint ii not direct attack ON the Cana
dian border The point selected is near
Buffalo, where the International Bridge af-
fords means of crossing; and James Cas-
sidy, of Boston, is said to be in the vicinity
of the bridge at this day in charge Of the
preliminaries
This information comes from New York,
although the headquarters of the Brother
hood are In Philadelphia, where the nego-
tiations are managed. The men for dash
at Canada will be recruited in the coal fields
of Pennsylvania, Northern Ohio and Western
New York. Transportation will be effected
speedily and without notice.
The British Government is so convinced
that an attack on Canada is in the Russo,
Fenian plan of the campaign that the ex-
preston has been made that no quarter
would be shown any Irishman taken in the
prosecution of such an invasion.
