New York, S.-HerGLd'S Dublin:
curious piece of information has juE
come to my knowledge. The suprem
council Of the FeHisn brotherhood q
Ireland has met and anxiously discusset
the Internal machines, and the policy o
) their sympsthizers across the Atlsntic
After long and stormy debste the coun
t Gil could not come TO any unanimous &c
cision. One section was in favor of al
emphatic reputation of the dynamit,
policy, and others advocated its adop
! ton. The split in the council is at pre-
sent complete. Meanwhile there is mucf
excitement throughout the country. A
serious conflict between soldiers and
civilisns has taken place at New Ross.
The unexpected release Of Mr.. Dillon
created as much excitement in Dublin,
to-day, as his arrest on the Sd of May
last. No reason whatever has been as
signed for the step on the part of govern
ment. Mr.. Dillon is not in bad health,
as wss At first reported. The statement
that ne had beeR released on this ground
turns out to be mere guess. The inn
prlsoned Suspect" was st his evening
meal when the governor of kilmainham
1 visited him and informed him that he was
no longer under restraint. In less than
! twenty minutes Mr.. Dillon was driving
home. As he passed up Sackville street
be did not even stop az the Land League
offices, although there were lights in he
windows. The news of the release was
| accidentally made public By 8 reporter
who called at an out of The way detective
station, but it was not credited until the
reporter inquired at M. Oillon's house
and found him in bed. In answer to in
quiries ne stated that lis release was I'M
conditional. He had not the slightest
expectation Of his imprisonment being so
| suddenly curtailed
Conjecture is busy with the motives
debating this step on the part of the gov
ernments. Mr.. Dillon's well-known hos
tility to the land bill is more likely TO
em 0srrass than to aid government in the
House at this critical moment, so that it
is not at all probable that this singular
act of clemency has been exercised in
order to obtain his aid snd Influence in
support of the fxpected opposition to the
Lords amendments when the bill re-
turns to the Commons. It ismuch more
probable that the release is the irst.of 3
series which will now take placa, Iand
doubtless in two weeks all the prominent
supporters who had been imprisoned on
charges analogous toythose brought
against Dillon, will again be at liberty.
The release of the member for Tpperary
must necessarily exercise an important
iefuence on the action of the Land
League. He was always its most ex-
IRENE sDd impulsive leader, Ind doubt
less he will once more take prominent
place in the counsels of the organization.
n one imagInes for q moment that he
has during his enforced retirement
changed his views with regard to the ne
cessity of carrying on the agitation with,
il possible, increased vigor, and in the
approaching convention al bis in
huence and power. Will be eXerted 10
throw new life into the agitation.
There are those who insinuate that Dillon
has been set ct liberty in order to rally
his forces and throw his influence against
PARCEL at the approaching convention,
thus cresting a schism IN the Land
League ranks, which in the present
temper Of the country would be grave
disaster to the agitation. Whatever
cause may be assigned for the step
Dillon will not keep the country tong in |
suspense regarding bis intentions. WHAT
ever he considers best to be said and done |
he will say or do at once. He will find |
the conditions of the Irish problem very
much changed, and on this altered |
aspect he will have to set his mind |
at work. It is not much TO say |
that the C, urse which Dillon may adopt |
within the next few days will depend the
further welfare of the land agitation. |
The news of the release Of the prisoner
caused universal rejoicing through the |
south of Ireland, especially in
All the Land Lesgue
branches have convened special meet
ings, and adopted resolutions con-
Dillon on his release. Ilu-
limitations have been extemporized
throughout Tipperary and adjoining
counties.
A RsllyhanHs correspondent tele-
graphs thst preparations are being made
q celebrate the release by bonfres and
for miles around. The
Herald correspondent says Dillon, to-
lay, while ready to speak on personal
matters, did not wish to say anything of
/ political nature Dillon stated tina. he
rot IN we'll for the first two months, but
n the last month his health had given
way and caused great pnessiaess to his
friends. d.. Kenny and the prison ply
ician both recommended his discharge
week ago, but on Saturday MIR. Dillon
vas informed that the first thrae months
II his confinement had expired and that
lis tenn had been extended for
hree months longer. DR.. Kenny
'isited him on Sunday afternoon
'ut be had no idea that his patient would
,e relieved for several weeks. Your cor
is informed that a eongratu-
atory meeting of the League was to have
'sen held as compliment to Mr., Dill
on, but he declined it. 1t is not likely
hat he will speak at the League meeting
o-morrew. II he does speak he will be
'rief. He will remain in Dublin for two
r three days. He is receiving coDgratu-
story kilograms from all parts of the
Ghntry and Of America. Reports are
egularly arriving Of bonfres and re.
ejoicing 10 all parts Of Ireland.
