shibuya Jugiro, the Japanese sailor who
is now confined in Sing Sing prison, await
ing execution by electricity during the
week beginning January 10Th next, refuses
TO eat or drink, and endeayOrs to refrain
from sleep. Obviously he is attempting TO
commit suicide. and for lack Of other
means, is taking this course.
IRISH KNvOYs PREFER SILENCE.
Dillon, O'Brien, Gill. O'Conner, and Sui
Ivan decline TO be in eryiewed. The fol-
lowing statement written by Mr.. O'Brien
was made on behalf Of the delegation to-
day: THE situation Is one ofeXtreme del
icacy and may involve consequences affect
ing the whole course Of Irish affairs during
our generation. Under these circum-
stances we must ask our friends to believe
that il is under deep sense Of responsible
ity we continue to maintain an attitude Of
complete reserve, having still strong
hope that the Irish people may be
spared the calamities of internal dissentions,
and being persuaded that we will have aid
in that direction by avoiding all unneces-
sary publicity, we are all in complete ac-
cord as 10 our action, and we must beg the
public not TO believe ridiculous rumOrs to
the contrary"
fhe enyoys are liable to leave for Europe
at almost a moments notice. There is no
telling just at present, however, what they
will do. They have received numerous
offers Of support here, and have the con-
seryative and money element endorsing
them. But the rank and tile are unmistaka-
bly, for Parnell.
no PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
John Dillon says: "At present it is unde-
termined whether we shall return TO Ire
land at once or resume our tour OF the
United States. Our public meetings for the
present are suspended, and will remain 80
until some definite settlement of the trouble
on the other side has been reached. We
have absolutely no plans at present as TO our
future movements. They will be guided
entirely by future events"
