1 GLADSTONE IN THE FOx's SKIN. | His Hand Seen In The Intrigue Tha, | Is Getting The Irish Leaders In A l snarl-The Princess of Wales An Oh. feet of Pity-No News From General Prendergast.
 LONDON Jan. 1.-The Boston Globes rep | resentative has cabled tonight as fol. lows:
 The special dispatches from Dublin which agree in reporting a state of excitement over the growing dissensiens among the Irish leaders seem to confirm the hints cab1ed to you within the past few days that a deter mined effort is being made to break the strength of the purely "home rule' policy which MT. Parnell represents. You may ex- pect to learn shortly that MT. Gladstones
 hand has been discovered in this intrigue.
 By again forcing the land reform question to
 the front as in 1880 the Liberal
 leader hopes to become master of the situa-
 ton and demoralize Parnell. He takes pains
 as yet, however, not to openly break with
 the Irish leader. He wears, like Richelieu,
 the fox's skin until it is time to show the
 lions. Even the real basis of the intrigue
 is itself obscured and the quarrel between
 Callan and Parnell is taken advantage of as
 the best means immediately at hand for
 making Parnell trouble. The Liberal leaders
 meet in private conference with Mr. Glad
 stone tonight The sudden development of
 important movements in Dublin is said to
 be the reason for this meeting and the re-
 suits of the consultation will become appar-
 ent in MT. Gladstone's policy during the
 exciting days which are expected to follow
 to-morrow's opening of Parliament
 Notwithstanding the fact of a private
 theatrical performance having been given at Sandringham the other evening, the belief remains that the health of the Princess of
 Wales is in lamentable condition. Toole and his fellow comedians were ostentati- ously sent down from London for the evil dent purpose of giving the public to under stand that the reports of the illness of the Princess were wholly unfounded. The position of this universally osteemed and pitied lady is too well understood by the public from observations during many years past to be much misunderstood She is regarded as martyr to the exalted duties of her rank and toward her family. and it has been a wonder to many that she has 80 long with fortitude and serenity the appearance of happiness which has been denied her. Club gossip of the the Prince should seek by well advertised theatricals to avert an impression that Alex ander is at least breaking down.
 No news has been received from General since he announced his arrival at Bhamo more than week ago. Reports rom the interior or bur1nun SHOW tnaJ .he rebel armies are constantly gaining | strength and the situation of the British | army of occupation is, it is feared, daily | growing more precarious. As cabled you a | :ew days ago a portion of the rebels be- | ,ween General Prendergasts detachment and | lis main force at Mandalay and his return to he capital will certainly be impeded by se vere fighting Lord Dufferin is said to favor | second Anglo Indian expedition to Burmah | % act in conjunction with General Prender. | ,ast i'll his return movement to Mandalay, | put the Conservative ministry hesitate to au- | horize this course pending the opening of | Parliament.
