NEW YORK, October 13.-The following
cables to the Irish World are from the
Secretary of the Land League at Dub
lin:
DUBLIN, October 13.-Parnell was ar.
rested in bed thismorning and immedi-
ately lodged in Kilmainham Jail. Ireland
is in ferment. Dublin is in state of
terrible excitement. The city is an
armed camp, showing this has been pre-
meI-tated, and prepared for action.
No event in the history of Ireland has SO
stirred Dublin, and the only parallel is
Paris at the destruction of the Bas-
| tile.
"JosEPH P. QUINN, Secretary"
''DUBL1N, October 13-Noon.-The
condition of things at this hour is awful
The wave of indignation gathers force as
the moments fly, and there is no telling
when it may break, or what the conse-
quences may be. The Land League Ex-
ecutive is at this moment sitting, with
John Dillon in the chair. The worst is
being prepared for. 1t is rumored the
Governments will take military possession
of the Land League headquarters, and
| proceed to the utmost extremity of brute
force to repress the organization. Calm,
but deliberate and decisive, action can
be looked for from the men at the head,
If the men in America stand firmly by
us, there need be no fears of the ultimate
result. JOSEPH P. QUINN,
Secretary Land League"
! New YORK, October 13.-The following
cable has been received:
"DUBLIN, October 13.-Parnell was ar
rested to-day at Morrison's Hotel, where
he was stopping previous to starting for
| the Kildare Convention at Mas. In
spector Mallon called at the hotel at nine
so'clook this morning, and sent up word
to the Land League leader, who was
still in bed, that he would like to see
him. The hotel porter returned word
that he would be happy to see the in
spector as soon as he was dressed. Soon
after he sent for Mallon, who, with De-
tective Sheridan, went upstairs. Par
nell met him pleasantly, and asked: DO
you intend to arrest mey Yes replied
Mallon, handing him warrant still wet
with Forster's signature, for the Chief
Secretary only returned from London by
the morning mail at eight o'clock.
Parnell then glanced at the warrant
and said: "All right" He put on his
hat and walked down stairs with the two
policemen. A cab was waiting at the
door, and the three men entered it. "Kil.
mainham Prison!" said Mallon to the
driver, and they drove off. There were
four other policemen in citizens clothes
in another carriage. On arriving at Kill
mainham Parnell was at once assigned
to cell. There was no demonstration
as no one knew about the arrest beyond
the parties concerned.

detectives of Dublin on the arrival there
of the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Fors-
ter, who left London Immediately after
