REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.
BRITISH AND FOREIGN. London, October 19. The Land League has issued a manifesto, exhorting tenants to refuse to pay rent until the Government abandon its terrorism and restores to the Irish their constitutional rights. The manifesto, which was issued yesterday by the Land League, was signed by Prtrnell, Davitt, and others. The document, in exhorting the tenants to refuse to pay rent, states that those who may be evicted for so acting will be supported by American money, and need not fear starvation. Serious disturbances occurred in Dublin, arising out of the excited feeling now pervading the masses of that city over the strong measures which are being adopted hy the Government for the suppression of the Land League. Large mobs of people gathered today in various parts of the city and wrecked several houses, robbed a number of shops, and otherwise committed serious depredations before the constabulary arrived on the scene of the disturbance. Owing to fears that an attempt may be made on the life of Gladstone, he is now under strict police protection.
