Boston, May 7.-Leadipg Irishmen de-
Dounce the assassination Of -Cavendish and
Burke IA a cowardly and outrageous act,

gress. The duty of the Land League at
home and in the United States is plain and
simple. Ii must dtnource The assas4inations
openly and earnestly; il must give assis-
lance to the authorities in hunting down
the butchers and bringing them TO a speedy
justice; it must proclaim its freedom from
any connection with men who would use as
