GREAT BRITAIN,
Especial Cablegram to the Globe

LONDON, Nov. 8.-Every possible en-
barrassment. it is said, is being thrown in
the way of O'Donnelrs defense. To-day
a cablegram was received by O'DonnelPs
solicitors in London from Mr.. Donald
Currie, of the Currie steamship line, which
is likely to compEcate matters in regard
to the production OF the Cape Town wit
nesses, whose favorable testi-
mony O'Donnell's solicitors are
most anxious to produce at
the trial. The cablegram makes pereIn-
tory demand for $500 for the transpor-
tation of McHardy, one of the witnesses
who IS also an employe of the company,on
their line between Capetown and Port
Elizabeth. There are five witnesses com
ing from Capetown, and as the iii of ex-
| penses for the transportation - fonr Of
these has been agreed upon, and amounts
to only $1,000, the charge OF 81, 500 for the
! other Is regarded by O'DonnelFs counsel
as exorbitant, and they have cabled arefQ-
sal to pay the sum demanded. The presence
at the trial of the Capetown witnesses is
deemed absolutely necessary to The de-
Tense, as they are to prove, according to
the testimony of O'Donnelrs counsel, that
| Carey was killed in self-defense during the
row following the sudden discovery of his
identity. Public feeling in England has
been greatly intensified by the recent ex-
plosions in London end the claims set by
O'Donnelrs subscription agents IN New
York that these outrages were the work of
their emissaries. It is feared that
if the large sum now demanded by
the steamship company for the transpor-
tation of McHardy is not paid the company
may refuse TO land any of the witnesses,
H. AIn
way of O'Donnelrs defense. 1t is also
feared the company may. in making out
their BILL charge lamp sum for the whole
fve,Iand unless that sum, ($28, O00) is guar
anteed they will Immediately turn the re-
fusal into an excuse for not performing
their contract as to the delivery of
all the witnesses. Mr. Currle's action
in this matter has greatly embarrassed
ODonnelPs solicitors, and, although up to
the present time they have protested
against the payment of the $500 demand
) ed for McHardy's transportation, they
will have to give way in order to make out
even plausible case of self-defense. The
case is already considered practically lost,
because OF the irritated condition of public
sentiment against the Invincibles, of whom
it is now believed O'Dopnell Is one, and
, this fresh misunderstanding has complete
ly discouraged the prisoners counsel, It
is openly asserted that the government
means to secure the execution of
O'DonHell, and Mr.. Carrie is charged with
/ abusing his privileges as the monop0list
of tho Capetown steamship line for the
purpose of facilitating the plads Of his
close personal friend, the prime minister,
/ in this respect.

counsel is novelty in England and no
ground IS shown for making an exception
in this case. Gen. Pryor says he has not

Tense, and does not propose to make an
application. He ID aware of the rule ex-
