NO CREDENCE GIVEN TO THE
STORIES AT WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-The al
legged attempts in different parts of the
country to organize Fenians for raid
into Canada have not as yet been
drawn to the attention of the State De-
partment, and nothing is known upon
the subject beyond the matters set out
IN the newspapers. The officials do not
give the smallest credence to the stories
and are Of the opinion that the purpose
IN setting them afloat is to brighten the
Canadians into keeping their soldiers
at home and failing to answer the ap-
peal OF England for volunteers.
ambassador Pauncefote is too well
experienced in American matters to
make this the basis of official repre-
sensations at this stage, and indeed,
1t is said at the State Department that
he has not even found it necessary to
demonstrate against the alleged viola
ton of neutrality in the reported re-
cruiting of soldiers for the Beers with
In the United States. It is suggested
that the explanation for s ast.st &.
is preference on the part CO the Bril-
1sh to deal with such persons as may
enlist here for the Boer army after they
leave the United States. And it is not
doubted that all of these movements
that really promise to amount to any,
thing are being fully watched with a
view to catching the volunteers at some
convenient point by a fleet cruiser.
Should it turn out that a Fenian
movement of this kind alleged to exist
is actually discovered and brought to
the attention of the United States Gov
eminent, sharp and prompt repressive
action will be taken, not only to pre-
vent the violation of the neutrality
laws, but also to save the raiders them
selves from such consequences of their
actions as befell the unfortunate Fenian
raiders of 1866. The talk of a Fenian
raid is we'll calculate dto cause alarm
on the Canadian side of the border. as
the people of that section were great
~ agitated during the former Fenian
excitement. Although an actual move
ment occurred then, the chief trouble
occurred over alarming reports of in
vasions which never took place. Some
thing of a panic took possession of the
Canadians on the border, and many wo-
men burned their valuables on the ISL
ands of the border river
