New YORK, Dec. 9.-In consequence
of the publication of misleading versions
of the cablegrams between Parnell and
O'Brien, on the subject of the negotia-
tions for the reunion of the Irish party,
O'Brien makes the whole correspondence
public. Under date of New York, De-
cember 7th, O'Brien cables Parnell as
follows:
81 shrink with horror from taking
sides against you IN struggle which
opens up such an appalingl prospect of
ruin and disgrace to our cause.
Throughout this unhappy business
have abstained from saying one person
ally offensive word to you, and have
read with the deepest disgust some of
the personal attacks made on you. And
now, before Ireland is irretrievably com
mitted to ruinous conflict, appeal to
you as the leader 1 haye for ten years
been proud to follow, and as the friend
for whom l still feel warm affection,
can you see some way by which, while
safeguarding your own reputation, the
country may be saved from the destruc-
tion which threatens it ?''
Parnell replied December 8th: ''Had
you wired prior to Saturday, some sug-
gestion from me might have succeeded :;
now 1T is too late for me to rescue the
seceders from their false position. /
shall, however, be very glad to see you
and consult you on your arrival in
Europe"
O'Brien replied to this: "Your reply
shows a total misunderstanding of my
message, which was prompted by my
regard for your past services, and still
existing personal affection, and with the
knowledge Of my colleagues. 1t is our
earnest hope that you NAV, in con-
sonance with the will of the majority of
the party, whose election of chairman
we have endorsed, find a way by which
the country might be saved from
ruinous conflict. The tone of your reply
leaves little ground r hope, but hav-
ing regard to the horrible consequences
to the country of a prolonged struggle,
am still anxious to have an interview,
and shall start Saturday for France, on
my way to Ireland.'
The ENJOYS have decided to send Gill
with O'Brien to Havre on Saturday.
They will consult with Parnell and the
anti-Parnelltes.
PARNELL STARTS FOR IRELAND.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-Parnell started for
Dublin tonight. A large crowd OF Irish
residents of this city assembled at the
railway station and cheered him wildly.
He spoke briefly, expressing gratitude
at the demonstration, which he said
would help in the fight he had under
taken. They would have no. cause to
regret that thew stood hv him ond 10
gether they would win for Ireland what
God determined she should get.
Parnell will be the guest of the lord
mayor of Dublin. There will be large
procession on his arrival, and he will ad-
dress the people. He has been invited
to visit Mitchelistown, and is assured of
an audience of twenty thousand there.
A number of the Mccarthy faction
were on the same train.
THE E'ANTI-PARNELLrTEs
At meeting of the anti-Parnell Sec
tion today, a manifesto to be issued
was discussed, but nothing definite was
decided upon. A telegram was received
from the delegates in America, saving
they were cooperating. They believe
1T best to secure Parnell's withdrawal
and the reunion of the party.
GLADSTONE WRITES A LETTER.
Gladstone has written letter regard
ing the crisis in the Irish party. He
says there appears to be no question
affecting himself. The only unexplained
contradiction is between Parnells state
ment OF November 9th and those on for
mer dates since the Hawarden inter-
view.
