[Of Mr Egau, the secretary of the Land League, in a cablegram from New York, it is said that he denies that the funds of the League have been employed in connection with the Irish outrages. This denial shows that the charge has been made, but it does not indicate the disposal of tho .£70,000 said to be unaccounted for.—Ed. D. T.]
