LATE CABLE NEWS.
[Br Telegbaph.j (Per Eingarooma at the Bluff.) [“ Age ” Special.] London, Jan. 9. The Dutch in Nathal are showing signs of disaffection. It is rumored that Polcheffstroom, a town attacked by the Boers, has surrendered. There has been an exposure in Birmingham of overtures on the part of the Nihilists, for the construction of infernal machines, for the purpose of destroying the docks in Eussian ports. There have been 1100 evictions and 1700 outrages in Ireland during the last eleven months.
Betting is 2 to 1 on Hanlan for the forthcoming boat race, but is very quiet. James O’Eeiily, Eosecommon, and the other Leaguers are proving very obstructive. Yesterday they made use of the forms of the House and delayed the progress of business for over three hours, A scene of confusion followed. The attitude assumed by the Leaguers has generally been condemned. Members of the Irish Land League are prosecuting the agitation with continued vigor. They threaten to bring before an Illegal Court which they have established, all tenants who do not sympathise with the general purposes of the League and give the movement substantial support.
