THE DISAFFECTED CORK MEMBERS. DAMAGING STATEMENTS BY WM. O'BRIEN. DEVLIN AND O'DONOVAN CRITICISED. I Received llth, 10.10 p.m. London, January 11. Mr William O'Brien, interviewed, Btated that Mr Devlin, one of the Home Rule envoys in the colonies, had deferred defaming him until the Australian collections are complete. Mr Sheehan and John O'Donnell were expelled without any form of trial, and without consulting the Nationalist party. The effect on opinion is that South-East and West Cork, East Kerry and Sooth Mayo have openly sided with Mid-Cork. The Party was only kept alive by American and Australian subscriptions contributed on a total misapprehension of the situation, and the League was dying on its legs. The administration fundi would now be investigated by means of Messrs Sheehan's and O'Donnell's legal action. Mr Donovan's statements do not deserve notice in Ireland, where lie is quite unjtaown outside the two, wards of Belfast.
