to the Government rsPprt OF his OBJ
servations and opinioa, OF .shieh the tpliow-
ing is 4 synopsis: First no actual organized
rising Is feared at present. A determined
leader might have iucited rising, but the
precautionary measures of dispatching extra
forces throut hout the country which have
been adopted, have greatly legseued the
probability OF such an occurrence Second,
there is no occasion to fear that the presence
OF additional forces will aggravate the dis
order. Third if her Msjesty's Government
at once take strict measures for repression
of lawlessness, peaceful solution of the
present difficulties and a cessation of out
RACES and disturbances may be looked for

with the intentions of the Land League state
that rising was never intended, at least not
at present.
