'! J. M. E?TIU B n'lltif n l 4*jVopri, ,-inr the national league disa grees WITH DAVITT. I Evictions Continued Notwithstanding the Showers of Boiling Water—The “Thunderer” Keeps Up Its Denun ciatory Articles—O’Brien's Level- Headed Course Indorsed. I Dublin, June T. —The evictions at I were continued to-day. Tenaut McNamara, I who was behind in his rent, defended his I house, but the bailiffs broke a hole in the I wall. Logs and boiling water were thrown I through the hole at the force. A policeman I who was holding the Colonel’s umbrella I dashed through the opening, and the other I officers followed him. A tight ensued, and I the tenants were evicted and afterward I arrested. The bailiffs charge the tenants I with having thrown vitriol upon them, but I this is denied. A tenant named Murphy I also made a resistance against eviction from I his holding. THE LEAGUE THINKS DIFFERENTLY. At the regular fortnightly meeting of the I National League, held here to-day, the con- I sensus of the opinion of those present was I that the course of Mr. Davitt in advising I the tenants to resist eviction bv everv means I in their power was not wise. ’Timothy Har- I nngton. Secretary of the League, announced I that tiie organising council would implore I tiie tenants not to allow anything to drive I them to violence, which would be to play I into their enemies’ hands. He, in his ad- I dress to the League, quoted fully the closing ■ words of the speech made by Mr. Parnell on I the night the Irish crimes amendment act I was introduced in the House. APPROVAL FOR O’BRIEN. At a meeting of the National League to- I day the resolution of the Executive Com- I mittee endorsing Mr. O’Brien's action in I regard to the labor meeting in New York I last Saturday night, was read and ap- I proved. THE “TIMES” STILL WAXING FIERCE. London, June 7.— The Times this morn- I ing publishes another installment of its I “Parnollism and Crime” article. Opposite I its leader page, it prints a fac simile of the I tenth page of the Irish World , of New ■ York, of Feb. 16, 1884, and also the greater I portion of Patrick Ford’s address, published ■ m tiie same issue. The publications are ae- I companied by an explanatory article de ■ scribing the various funds mentioned and I the fate of the men connected therewith. In I an editorial on the subject., the Times says: I “The whole conspiracy, whether carried on I by the mealy-mouthed gentlemen who I sit at the London dinner tables, or by I the foreign men who organize for arson I and murder, is one and indivisible. It is I paid out of the same purse, worked by the ■ same men, directed to the same ends and is ■ inspired by the one universal hatred of Eng ■ land, and a determination to bring about, if ■ possible, the complete separation between I England and Ireland. Whether the money I p>es to support Gladstonians in Parliament I or to equip the desperadoes in the English I towns is a mere matter of tactics. Wher ■ ever we find the constitutional agitators; ■ with their mask laid aside, as in the case of ■ Davitt, we find that their language and I aims are identical with those of the ruffians I by whose support they live, and whom they, ■ in Parliament, pretend to be ignorant of.” CARDINAL GIBBONS.

THE LEADERS PREPARING FOR THE GREAT STRUGGLE. Consultation of the Irish Loaders— Gladstone in London —Sparring in the House of Commons—Mere Pall Mall Gazette Cases—Mr. Chamberlain Has His Hands Full. London, June 7. —In‘the House of Com mons to-day Mr. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, in reply to a question by Mr. Dillon regarding the employment of the gunboats to assist in the evictions on Clare Island, declared that the government would not hesitate to employ any of the forces at its disposal to execute the decrees of the law courts. W. H. Smith, in reply to a question by Mr. Robertson stated that the government was unable to inform the House what measures besides the crimes act it would proceed with. The progress made with that bill was too slow to enable him to anticipate when the measure would pass th House. Possibly it might be his duty, but he hoped it would not to take measures to expedite the public business. He refused to disclose the nature of the measures. Mr. Odohertv having moved an amend ment to the crimes bill, Mr. Parnell inter posed, saying that, owing to the advanced stage of the session and the large number of important matters that had not yet been re bated, he would suggest that "his friends move only such amendments os they re garded as indispensable. It was obvious, he udiled, that the time would not permit the discussion of the smaller points. Mr. Odo lierty thereupon withdrew his amendments. The next five amendments on the paper in the names of the Farnellites were not moved. An amendment to exclude cases of treason and felony from a trial by a siieeinl jury was defeated by a vote of 107 to 180. Several more amendments were rejected, the last with the aid of the cloture, the vote being 219 to 93. Mr. Smith then moved that clause 3 stand as part of the bill. The Chairaian said that there were still several amendments to be discussed before he could put Mr. Smith’s motion. Three further amendments were dlscuesed and re jected, and Mr. Smith’s motion was then carried—JH to 83. GLADSTONE IN LONDON. Mr. Gladstone airived at 6:10 o’clock this afternoon. He was much fatigued. He spoke at Newport, Gloucester and Swindon, principally on the Irish question. At New port. Mr. Gladstone addressed an immense crowd.

Mr. Gladstone’s next slop was made at Swindon. In his speech there he invited his opponents to follow th 6 ex ample of Wellington and Disraeli.and them - selves propose what the country wanted. If they did this, Mr. Gladstone promised that they would receive the support of the Liberals. Intense heat prevailed during the homeward journey, and many persons fainted in tho crushes at the various stations where the train stopped. MORE PALL MALL “GAZETTE” CASES. Sinre the revelations made by the Pall Mall Gazette and the passage of the crimi nal law amendment bill the public have be lieved the traffic in children to be impos sible. The case in the Lambeth Police Court has therefore caused a sensation of universal horror. Edward Procknell and three women were arrested charged with keeping houses of ill repute, and with hav ing procured for their patrons scores of girls from 10 to 14 years of age. The pris oners and their victims were all of humble rank, and the evidence so far adduced proves that the seducers of the girls belong to the same class. The government will prosecute the prisoners, all of whom were remanded. Detective Stephens, who is in the employ of the Reformatory and Refuge Union and who has taken the principal part in bringing to light these crimes, states that during thr past four years he lias rescued 400 girls between the ages of 4 1-9 ami 14 years from lives of crime.

A reply was received this morning saying passengers from infected districts are detained in quarantine fifteen days, their baggage dis infected. Coast, counties, south of Tampa, have also established quarantine against Key West. In order bo insure thorough fumigation of mail at Tampa employment of extra help has been authorized. NORSKS AND GUARDS PROVIDED. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day authorised the employment of six nurses to attend the sick in the barracks hospital, Key West, and four guards to protect the property of persons remov'd to the hospital. THE FEVER AT HAVANA. The subjoined letter from Dr. I). M. Bur gess, United (States Sanitary Inspector at Havana, Cuba, to Dr. J. P. Wall, President 1 of the Board of Health at Tampa, Fla., will bo perused with general interest: Havana, Juno 1, 1887. Dr. ./. P fl'olf, Port Physician, etc., Tampa, Via: Your letter of Slav 30 is received hut too late to answer by the Olivette of to day, which hns already sailed. The enclosed letter from the I’resident of the Board of Health of Louisiana, is also received. You may rest assured that everything has been and will be done here which your quarantine regulations demand and even more. Not one person since your quarantine commenced on May 10, has lieen given a certi ficate of acclimation who was not known to be protected from yellow fever and small pox. As for the baggage, that has invariably oome Irvin hoalthy localities in this city, or from some place outside understood to as healthy as Ma tun/Hs, Cardona, etc. This very trip of the Olivette she has taken from here only eight passengers for Tampa, one the American (ion sul from .Mstanzas, acclimated, a family con sisting of six persons, all natives of Mfttanzsa tmt Hie father, and he bos lived on the island for t wenty eight years. The other passenger is a priest from nere, and he was living in fine, healthy house in the city. Ail dial baggage was put in the hold and fumigated, though previously unexceptionable. As you suggest. I act and always have on a basis of moral cer tainty, and as now vou think Ihe lower classes 1 letter not liuve certificates, 1 will give none to them, I agree with you that I he fumigation of trunks ami rrm tents tears closed is not, a very powerful preventative, hut I have been very careful to know where tlmt tiaggnge canto from, which I* a thing of consequence. As first-class I gees do hot generally get aboard until the nru last moment before the departure of a vessel, 1 have really no time or opportunity for opening their trunks and fumigating that unless time should be given me. how woiu.n IT DO for t/oi/ to fumigate that baggage at your qusr ant Ine.y You could do it efficiently in two hours, and perhaps it would sat isfy your people better. You ask me for my opinion as to the advisa biUty of keening niien communication, and if 1 think it can fie carried but with safety. Situated n* t wm herw, imd knowing everybody and every thing that goes, I have felt that up to the present that it could. The fact is that, three-fourths of all the coses, and oven more, Of yellow fever which have occurred here this season have been among recently arrived troops from Spain, who have been quartered in the dirty infected fortifications of the island and in the military hospital. OCT OF EIOHTY-TWO DEATHS from yellow' fever here during the month of May at least sixty of them have been among the army and navy. The merchant vessels in the harbor are entirely exempt from the disease so far. It is to be greatly regretted that yellow fever should have occurred in Key West, for that being in tho territory of the United States it scares the public there awfully, I am well aware. It also gives any disposed to frighten something to harp upon. I am morally certain that the line is not in the least at fault in consequenoe of that accident, but that those cases of yellow fever wen caused by a lot of old hotel furniture, pillows, mat tresses, etc., which were carried over from here during the winter. The hotel (Bolio’S) where that furniture liad been used here liad had yel low fever in it time and time again to tny per sonal knowledge, as w’ell as to that of several physicians hero who have told me so. THAT STUFF WAS STORED in Key West, as well as here, in just such a way as to preserve the germs or cause of disease God only knows how long 1 feel that Florida, the mainland, Is safe so far, except those Araim who went over before your quarantine commenced, and for which nellher you nor i can lie held ac countable. Moreover, they did not go on one of Plant's steamers. For awhile now, aa you suggest, I will give no certificates to Tampa to people who arc not going further North (certainly) than Charleston. Indeed, scarcely anyone since May 10th has gone to any Southern city except Tamm J scarcely remember one for Newt irioans, Mobile, etc. The President of the Board of Health of Louisiana in some instances lias exaggerated in his letter and rather convey* somewhat of mis representation in It. Do you not think so? I improve the opportunity of closing t his long, dull letter by assuring that everything I can do hi re in the line of my duty as your agent and gauitary inspector wifi be done, and that thor oughly. Kxcuso imperfections and omissions, and believe me, most cordially yours, I). M. Buiweks. ENCOURAGING REPORTS. Key West, Jime 7.—There has been one new case of yellow fever since yesterday and no deaths. WHAT CUBAN DOCTORS SAY. Dr. Moreno and other Cuban physicians here deny positively the prevalence of yel low fever, and assert that the disease is merely an acclimating fever of a peculiarly fatal ty)ie, unless properly treated.
