FEN1AN INVASION.
Sensational Report from Dunkirl<, N.
Y, That an Invasion of Canada
Ii Contemplated.

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. 27.-A special
from Dunkirk says: ''The Fenians are
said to be organizing here for an inva-
knowledge of the condition of Fenian
affairs in Dunkirk says this city has
been called upon to raise 600 men to
form a part of New York's quota of the
125, 900 men that are to be enrolled
throughout the country. AT the pres
eI1t time 500 men are known to be mus
tered with the Fenians here, and the
remaining 100 will be obtained with
little difficulty. 1t is currenhy report-
ed and extensively credited that the
Fenians have two carloads of arms and
munitions of war in eoncealment in or
near this city. This material is said to
have been in the possession of the Dun
kirk Fenians for some years."
Boston, Dec. 27.-A movement look
ing to the invasion of Canada by The
Fenians and Advanced Irish Ma
tionalists has been agitated for some
time by leaders of these organizations
in and around Boston. Col. Roger f..
Scanned, who has been identified with
Irish agitations for many years, said
that there was to be a, meeting Of
prominent Irish Nationalist in Phil
adelphia next Sunday or Monday to
discuss the question of invading Can
ada. Col. Scanned said that the pres
ent would be good time for the in
vasion, as the troops of Canada are be-
| ing sent away to take part in the AT
| rican war. ~
Washington, Dec. 27.-The British
ambassador, Lord Pauncefote, has
made no protest to the authorities
here relative to the reported organized
mQyements in various parts of the
country in behalf of the Beers, includ-
ing the alleged Fenian movement, al
| though these matters were subjects
for discussion between Secretary Hay
and the ambassador as late as Tues
day afternoon, The only attention
which the embassy is giving to these
reports is to keep advised through the
British consuls at various points as
| to any movements of Importance. Thus
far, however, nothing has come from
the consuls to indicate that any Of the
| movements were more than local and
trifing. All of the advices show there
has been nothing in the way of gen
eral organization. AS is usually the
case in times of war, the British off.
Gals receive many letters offering to
disclose secret movements or to sell
balloons, explosives and various other
novel war inventions. But as most Of
these are anonymous they receive nc
| attention,

county of Swain from the State Of Ten
