LONDON, May 10.-The man who was
arrested at Chester last night on a telegram
from Dublin gave a satisfactory account of
himself and was released to-day. The man
who was taken into custody at Milford
Haven yesterday has also been released. The
name of the American Irishman who was
arrested at Castle Bellingham yesterday and
brought to Dublin is Heybourne. He has
since been released.
At Hayerford West an Irishman has made
a statement that last week while he was in
Dublin, he refused an offer of 4100 to assist
In the murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Mr.. Burke. His statement has been
communicated to Sir William V. Harcourt,
home secretary. The man has been taken
to Liverpool. He still adheres to his previ-
GUS statement. His knowledge of the To-
cality of the crime and his description of the
men give his statement every appearance of
truth. The police anticipate that something
important will transpire from his statements.
He says that he can lay his hands on the
assassins.
1t is proposed that the citizens of Dublin
should contribute sum to augment the
amount offered by the Government as a
reward for the arrest of the assassins of
Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke.
The Freeldn's journal thinks the subscrip-
ton ought to take the form of fund for
the erection In Dublin of monuments in
memory of the victims.
Yesterday crowd of the lower orders
gathered around car in Dublin with red
panel and partly obliterated number, and
insisted on the police taking it and the driver
to the station for identification. This is
considered most significant change as com
pared with the reluctance of the populace
| in all previous crises to render assistance to
| the authorities.
Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
| has signed a minute forbidding executive
officials to go beyond the precincts of the
city without police protection
A number of Dublin carmen to-day waited
upon the chief of detectives and asked per-
mission for general parade of all the cars
and drivers in Phoenix Park for the purpose
of identifying the car in which the assassins
escaped. The request was refused, and All
inspection has already been made. The
carmen have resolved To meet at the park OF
Sunday to denounce the crime and TAXI
measures to aid the authorities in capturing
the guilty driver.
Placards appeared in Dublin to-day an
nouncing the formation of society for tn
restoration of legislative independence
They contain hostile references to Castl
officials.
At meeting of the Parnellites in Londo
to-day the opinion was expressed that if MI
Gladstone's bill be confined to its nomint
objeets-the improvement of the admins
ton of justice and the suppression of secr'
societies-it would meet with general accep
ance.
The Times in leading article says thl
no vindictive legislation is demanded by pul
lie opinion. 1t repudiates any desire to en-
bGrrass the Government and says it shoul
regard its overthrow in the present positiC
of Irish affairs as public misfortune.
The Standard gives currency to the bell
that Sir Thomas Brassey, member of Parli
ment for Hastings and at present a Lord
the Admiralty, will succeed MIR. Trevelyi
. as Secretary to the Admiralty.
LONDON. May n.-Michael Davitt h
written letter to the Standard dated NJ,
. 10, on the subject of the assassination

of the Standards language since the terrib
murders, he says: "For the opinion yC
express Of the sincerity Of my condemns
tion of the murders, and for your beli
that Mr.. Parnell Mr.. Dillon and myself al
guiltless of alliance with the assassins, / al
thankful" In answer to the Standard
request to come forward and make clea

on the murder, he recalls the fact that he cam
out of Portland Prison at 3 O'Clock on Sa
urday afternoon. after having been contine
in solitude for fifteen months without seein
newspaper or a letter that did not pas
through the hands of the governor of tn
prison. He rebuts the implication that h
and other leaguers must possess informatio
that would enable the authorities to trac
the assassins He declares that Messri
Parnell and Dillon cannot lend any MOI
assistance in bringing the assassins to justic
than that given in their manifesto.
DIR. Davitt refers Mr.. Forster to the speec
he (Davitt) made before his arrest, in whic
he predicted the accumulation of crime tina
would result from the policy Mr.. Forste
was pursuing, and held him responsible
before God
DUBLIN, May 10.-The two bicycle rider
