The lrish uerrsf.

gives additional points of the assasslna-
ton. The attack was SO sudden and ST.
lent that it scarcely attracted any notice,
bu. the, scuffie was observed from The
Garden Of the vice-regal lodge OF Earl
SPENCER. who had arrived shortly before.
Imagining that it was merely brawl, he
gave directions that policemen be sent to
see what was the matter Though the
murder took place in a rather secluded
par, OF the grounds, there were three or
four witnesses who saw the occurrence,
but no outcry having been raised no one
seems to have suspected the nature OF the
encounter and it vas thought to be only
a drunken braw,. All the accounts agree
that the assassins were four in number
and drove TO the park in car. A post
mortem examination of the bodies at the
chief secretary's lodge showed eleven
wounds on Burke and eight on Caven-
dish.
Notes Of the Assassination.
4 special messenger left London for
Dublin this morning.
Two men on horseback also watched
the procession in suspicious manner.
1t is nov thought that Cavendish and
Burke were deliberately selected for
assassination during the procession IN
Dublin, Saturday. A man inquired
three times whether Cavendish was in the
procession. The chief secretary at last
lifted his hat and told him his name.
The man replied, "Thank you; that will
do"
The head of the London police de-
scribes the evidence which the Irish po-
lice have to work on as very meagre.
The official and private residences OF
cabinet ministers are now guarded by
special constables.
Shutters are closed upon all business
houses.
1t is rumored the driver of the car
which took the assassins to and from the
park was murdered by them to prevent
discovery, and that his body has been
found
Manifesto Of the Land Lea ne.
To the people Of Ireland: On the eve
Of what seemed a bright future for our
country that evil destiny which has ap-
parently pursued us for centuries has
struck at our hopes another blow, which
cannot be exaggerated in its disastrous
consequences. In this hour of sorrowful
gloom We venture to give expression to
our profoundest sympathy with the peo-
pie of Ireland In the calamity that has be-
fallen our cause through this horrible
deed, and with those who determined at
the last hour that policy of concilia-
ton should supplant that Of terrorism
and general distrust We earnestly hope
that the attitude and action of the Irish
people will show to the world that assas-
sination such as has startled US almost to
the abandonment Of hope Of our coun-
try's future, is deeply and religiously alb
horrent to their feeling and instinct. We
appeal to you to show by every manner
of expression that amidst the universal
feeling of horror which assassination has
excited, no people feel so deep detesta-
ton of the atrocity, or so deep sympathy
with those whose hearts must be scared
by it, as the nation upon whose prosper
ity and reviving hopes it may entail con-
sequences more ruinous than those that
have fallen to the lot of unhappy Ireland
during the present generation.
