GENERAL CABLES.

London, June 14. His Eminence Cardinal Michael Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, has returned to Ireland from his visit to America. Cardinal Logue declared that the “interview” with him “in New York,” cabled on May 14, was a pure invention. He never stated that Australia and New Zealand were on the verge of rebellion, and he never referred to India. He admitted stating in a New York drawing room that when Britain became old and infirm she would be likely to receive her.coup de grace from Irish subjects whom she was sending to foreign lands, and who went with vengeance in their hearts. The Prince and Princess of Wales opened the RotherhitheStepney Tunnel, 6883 feet long, of which 1500 feet is under the river Thames. The cost is two millions, and it is the largest boring in the'world.

The Prince of Wales expressed pleasure at the fact that the work had been accomplished entirely by British minds, muscle and material.

A proclamation declares that the Counties of Sligo aud West Meath, Ireland, are in a disturbed state, requiring additional police. The Australian League gave a great reception to Australia’s prelates at the Kensington Town Hall. Lord and Lady Tennyson, Lord and Lady Daruley, Lord Brassey, and many English Bishops were present.
