NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-O'Donovan Rosa,
who as recently deposed from the leadership
of the Feuian Broth erhood, having declared
in his paper and in published interviews
that he has declined to attend the convention
at which the decapitation took place. because
he had already decided to cut loose
from it and follow different
line of policy in connection with
the United Irishmen's society, the Fenian
brotherhood has broken the seal OF secresy
which has heretofore been put upon their
proceedings, and have issued long address
to their friends on the subject. The address
| accuses Rossa of falsehood, treachery, insub-
ordination and many other crimes against the
order They assert that he not only attended
the convention, but for the first time paid up
his dues, so that he could appear in good
standing; that he packed the convention by
getting his friends in on proxies; that these
friends when they learned he facts, denounced
him: that he sent other friends not in good
standing in the order, who did the same,
when apprais d of the facts, and that he was
thereupon unanimously bounced, and that
the United Irishmen has not had an existence
for FIVE ears. The letter continues: O'Dono-
van Rossa saws he will still work with 1.-The
good men, of the Fenian brother hood. The
only bad men who ever got into the secrets or
the brotherhood since the days of the trio or
wretches, Corydon. Massey and Nasle'
McDermott and Phean, Of Kansas
CITY. Neither of these were members
of the organization, but he fraternized with
them unknown to the council. TO McDer-
mott. who wou not be allowed in the broth
erhood he gave. unknown to the council,
credentials virtually making him an agent OF
the brotherhood The result was the life
long Imprisonment Of Featherstone and
others, and the driving OF men from their
| comfortable homes mo cold cand cheer-
| iess exile. Against the express commands OF
the council he took Phelan to his heart and
made arrangements whereby Phean could
meet skirmishing agents within the jurisdic-
ton of English law On his own RESPONSE
biIity alone, O'Donovan Rosa entered into
and kept up negotiations with the woman
Dudley No misfortune has befallen the
brotherhood of late years for which Rosa is
not personally responsible
The address adds that Rosa has again and
again declined to account for the ''skirmishing
fund" and still holds the key to the post
Office box to which it las been the custom to
address contributions to that fund since 1885,
and declares that he will take whatever comes
to it. Therefore another box has been
secured. The document is signed by George
Smith, Greenpoint, l.. l.; Edward Whelan,
Patterson, N. j.; Rudolph Fitzpatrick. West
chester; John Murphy. New York; John l..
Duffy, Philadelphia, Pa: W. j. GIeeson. New
