THE DUBLIN TRIALS.
Special Dispatche, TO TIE BHK.
WASHINGTON, Msy 3.--There is no
truth in the London rumors that the
United States government consented
to extradite lyman, Walsh and Sheri.
dan. The department have not re.
oeived any communication upon the
subject.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The Express
says the necessary fidavits to secure
the extrsdition Of lyman, mo. 1.)
have been here for nearly two weeks.
A diligent search for Sheridan and
Walsh, who have been indicted In
Dublin for the murders of Cavendish
and Burke, were made to-day, but
neither could be found.
New YORK, Nay 3-John Welsh,
who was seen by . Tribune reporter
t,.night said: IT am of course not
guilty of any connection with the
Phoenix Park murders. If I could
have obtained q fair trial in Dublin
before an impartial Jury I should
never have left England. But In
Dublin at present on the testimony oil
p~erjured informers they could a.
easily find an indictment against you
as against me for completely In the
Phoenix park muruers. We are used
to that sort of that thing In Ireland.
A World reporter asked Sheridan
ID you regard the murder of Caven,
dish aud Burke as q political offsnse2'
Sheridan replied, II do not think
anybody should think otherwise. The
government officials themselves admit
1t to be q political offense. Trevelyan
chief secretary for Ireland, in one o.
his speeches, raid it was one of the
first political offences ever committed
In Ireland and If no regards 1t as {
political offsnse l am willing to acoep'
him Of sufi ,ient authority on the sub
act at least Certainly no person Car
be extrsdited from this country FIR
political %offense."
The World reporter called on Alex
ander Sullivan, of Chicago, presiden'
of the Irish Natlonal Lsague of Amer
lea, and asked what action, IL any, the
League would take officially If q de
mand wss made for the extrAdition o
