Land-League AIanifestoes.

The following manifesto of the Land League
was adopted this afternoon at a hurrfcdly
Summoned meeting at Westminster Palace
Hotel:
TO the People of Ireland:
On the eve of what seemed a bright future
for our country, that evil destiny which has
apparently pursued us for centuries has strI ck
at our hopes another blow which canuot be
exaggerated in its disastrous consequences.
In this hour of sorrowfuI gloom we venture
to give expression to our profoundest
the calamity that has befallen our cause
through this horrible deed, and with those who
determined at the last hour that the policy of
concfliation should supplant that Of terrorism
and national strlIst. We earnestly hope that
show to the world that the assassination, SUCK
as has startled us almost to the aban.
donment of hope of our country's
future, is deeply and religiously abhor-
rent to their every feeling and instinct
We appeal to you to show by every
manner of expression that amidst the univer-
sal feeling of horror which the assassination
ton of its atrocity or so deep a sympathy
with those whose hearts must be scared by it,
as the nation upon whose prosperity and
reviying hopes it may may =, entail conse-
fallen to the lot of unhappy Ireland
during the present generation. We feel
trated in our country during the exciting
struggles of the past fifty years has so stained
the name OF hospltabIe lreiand as TINS coWara-
ly and unprovoked assassination of a friendly
stranger, and that until the murderers of Cav
endiSh and Burke are brought to justice that
stain will sully our country's name.
CHAs. S. PARNELLs,
JOHN DILLON,
MICHAEL DAVITT.
All Irish members heard from concur in this
declaration. Orders for the immediate print
ing and posting of the manifesto throughout
Ireland have been given. Parnell has sent
kilograms to the Mayors of Dublin, Cork,
Waterford and Limerick suggesting that they
Immediately call a meeting of their respective

The assassinations in Dublin Saturday
called forth the following proclamation:
To the Land League of America:
The execrable and cowardy assassinR.
ton of Lord Frederick Cavendish, newly APP
pointed Chief Secretary for Ireland, and
Under Secretary Burke has Mortified tho
world. and is especially painful and abhOT-
rent to every true friend of Ireland. We de.
nounce the awful crime and exhOrt our breth-
ren in ireland to use every effort to bring its
perpetrators to justice, and to show their de-
testation of the fiendish act which only the
arch enemy of our race or some irresponsible
idiot could have conceived or executed.

The bloody deed could not have been the act
of a lover CT ireland. 1t would be productive
of nothing but harm to Ireland. It would
doubtless check and retard Gladstones new
departure, and perhaps cause him to retrace
his steps and have recourse to sterner meas
ures than ever He would be wrong, however,
in holding whole people guilty for the wick
ed and insane act of few. The Land League
would deplore the murder"
A Philadelphia special says: Several prom
inent Land-Leaguers were interviewed to-
night on the assassination of Lord Cavendish.
They all expressed horror at the deed, and said
the men who did it could not have had the good
of Ireland at heart. Some thought they must
be insane. Not one of them could speak il
strong enough terms OF horror. DR.. William
Carroll put the murderers on par with Gui-
teau and the man who atteIapted TO shoot the
Queen"
BUFFALO, N. Y, MAY Z.
Several of the most prominent members of
the Irish National Land League in this city
execrate the horrible crime and trust the per-
petrators of the fiendish act may be brought
speedily to justice. The assassination IS corr
sidered to be direct blow at the interest and
rising hopes of ireland, and is particularly to
be deplored at this time.
The following telegram was cabled tonight:
To the Hon. William E. Gladstone, Premier,
London:
AS President of the Land League in America
/ beg to express the deepest abhOrrence of the
terrible crime Just committed in Dublin, es-
change of policy, looked brightest for Ireland.
