THE REPORT CONFIRMED.
LONDON, Oct 10-The startling report which
reached this city from Tippsrary this morningt to
the eject that the Irish leaders. Msssrs. Dillon
and D Brien, had departed from the country is
confirmed There is little, if any. doubt that
their objective point is the United States. II
is, however, known that they have avoided the
ordinary routes Of travel between the two coun-
tries, and up to the present hour absolutely
nothing is known Of the manner in which the
two gentlemen succeeded in eluding the watch
fulness OF the large police and military force
gathered in and about Tipperary.
THE NArIoNALIsrs ELArED
Bail in the case Of both men, Dillon and
O'Brien, will be at once escheated, and already
the announcement lie made on behalf of the
Irish National League OF its intention to recoup
the sureties. The escape has excited great adj
mlratlon and enthusiasm in the ranks of the
nationalists both in England and Ireland, while
the government is confused by the readiness
with which officers cautioned to be especially
on the alert have been hoodwinked.
