LONDON, May 3.-The following man
ifesto of the Land League was adopted
this afternoon by the summoned meet
ing at Westminster Palace Hotel:
To the People Of hsland:-On the eve
Of what seemed 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 sorrow-
full gloom we venture to give expression
to our profoundest sympathy with the
people Of Ireland in the calamity that
has befallen our cause through this hor-
rible deed, and with those who are de-
tsrmined at the last hour that the pol
icy of Cancellation should supplant that
Of terrorism and national distrust. We
earnestly hope that the attitude and ac-
tion of the Irish people will show to the
world that assassination such as had
startled US almost to the abandonment
of the hope of our country's future, is
deeply and reliaiously abhorrent to their
every feeling and instinct. We appeal
to you to show by every manner of ex-
preston that amidst the universal feel
ing of horro- which assassination has
excited, no people feel 80 deep dstes-
tation Of the atrocity or SO deep sym
pathy with those whose hearts must be
scared by it as the nation upon whose
prosperity and reviving hopes it may on
tail consequences more ruinous than
those that have fallen to the lot of un-
happy Ireland during the present gener-
alton. We feel that no act that has
ever be-. perpetrated in our country
during -. exciting troubles of tho past
fifty years has SO stained the name of
hospitable Ireland as this cowardly and
unprovOked assassination of friendly
strangers, and that until the murderers
of Cavendish and Burke are brought to
justice that stain will sully our country's
name.
