London, Sept 25-Several mem
bers OF the British cabinet whom
Premier Lloyd Georges reply to the
latest communication of canon de
Valera is said to be going round,
have not yet conveyed their views to
the premier concerning the situation
and it is regarded as not unlikely
the premier's note will not be ready
for dispatch to Dublin before Tues
day or Wednesday.
No intimation has been vouchsafed
as to the probable term of the note;
but opinion both in England and
Ireland seems to be hopeful that it
will be counched so sa to accommo-
date the position of the Sim Fein
leaders and enable them to come into
another conference.
In the meantime disturbing re-
ports of new provocative acts, all
legged to have been made by Black
and Tans in Cork and elsewhere, are
causing apprehension among those
hopeful of a settlement of the Irish
situation. According to Cork dis
