DUBLIN, Oct. 10.-The case against
O'Brien and Dillon, who are charged with
melting tenants not to pay their rent, was
again called at Tipperary this morning.
Neither of the defendants was present.
Both are members of the committee ap-
pointed at the committee meeting of Irish
Nationalists, held in Dublin, to visit
America for the purpose of soliciting aid
for the Nationalist cause A rumor is cur
rent that they have forfeited their bail
e10o0 eacl-in the conspiracy case, and that
they sailed yesterday from Queenstown for
the United States.
Much excitement prevailed when it be-
came known that O'Brien and Dillon had
abandoned the defense and left the place.
There is report that they sailed from
Queenstown yesterday for the United States.
The information thus far received shows
that they did net leave by the ordinary
channels of passage. Their bail will be
paid by the National League.
At the request of counsel for the crown a
court certificate of non-appearauce was at
tached to the bail-bonds of Dillon and
O'Brien. An adjourcment was then taken
TO enable the crown to consider what steps
should be taken. Warrants have been is
sued for the arrest OF the missing Nation
alists.
LONDON, Oct. 1O-The steamship COM
panies' agents know nothing of the fugi-
tives. Nothing is known at Queenstown or
Moville of their whereabouts. A cor
respondent of O'Brien's paper. the Free
mans Journal, sailed from Queenstown
yesterday on the City of Berlin, and it is
thought Dillon and OBrien may be aboard
the same vessel.
Detectives have boarded all the outgoing
steamers and searched in vain for the men.
They are convinced that they are already
on their way to America. 1t is possible that
they sailed on a yacht and boarded the
steamer outside of Queenstown harbOr, and
a dispatch to the News from Tipperary
says: "Ihough sbadowed as men were
never shadowed before, Dillon and O'Brien
joined q liner by the aid of friendly craft,
and are now we'll on their way to New
York. 1t is impossible to convey any idea
of the frenzy of delight here
The News, in an editorial, compares the
escape of Dillon and O'Bren to the mar
velous escapes of Mazzini, and says they will
be received in America as kossuth and
other patriots escaping from Continental
expressions have been received here The
News adds: IF the Golfers OF the league
are empty, as their enemies boast, Balfour's
blunderiDg will soon replenish them"
The Chronicle says: The Inference is
that the Government for some reason did not
desire TO keep them in the country, other
wise they could not have escaped the vigil
ance of the police. The stage is now left to
obscure performers, and Ba!four may ring
down the curtain.
OConnor's paper. the Star. says Dillon
and O'Brien went to Waterford and from
there to Havre on Wednesday, and pro-
ceeded from that port to New York.
New YORK, Oct. 10.-'rhe intelligence
that O'Brien and Dillon had succeeded in
escaping was received with joy by Irishmen
in this city. Last night the leaders re-
ceived knowledge that O'Brien and Dillon
went from Dublin to Havre where they
boarded Hamburg American vessel.
Dunlap's London cable quotes Davitt as
saying in reply TO Consul Hoare: "l will
undertake to prove each one Of my charges
and to press them up to the hilt on the sworn
testimony of agents who were actually en-
ploytd by Hoare and his predecessor, Archi-
bald, if am only given chance to do So"
