IRISH TENSION.
Shying of a Lord Mayor.
PUBLIC OF CORK MYSTIFIED.
(By Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian-N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, March 22.
The Daily Mail's Dublin correspondent states that tho public of Cork are mystified by the murder of the Lord Mayor, and are asking what was the motive for killing a man who is praised as a Sinn Fein leader. The Daily I Mail considers that this and other recent murders reveal the existence of secret '' black liand'' societies, sworn to kill those who arc considered j traitors to the Irish Republic. Recently a notice was posted in the Catholic Church at Mitchelston, County Cork, threatening death to any civilians who gave information to the police and soldiery, and mockingly signed: "A competent military authority." Similar notices have since freely appeared in the Southern and Western districts. It is significant to recall that a well-dressed man was mysteriously murdered in a Dublin street two days after the seizure of ; Dublin Castle correspondence containing Secret Government reports.
