SAN FRANCISCO. 15th February. A story is current in London that the Government has interfered with the Land League correspondence and opened many of its letters. It is understood that Parnell will sail direct from Paris for the United States, as a dooument found on Michael Davitt just before he was arrested in Dublin criminates him and many important persons in the present agitation. There is strong talk about ParnelTs continued absence in Paris. The Irish party in Parliament are now disorganised. Kelly and Barry have not been in the House for a week. There whereabouts is unknown. There is a disposition among leading Leaguers to leave for Amerioa, but the Irish Press implore them not to desert their cause. A great anti-coercion meeting waa held in Hyde Park, and afterwards a procession halted in front of the Guards' and Carlton Eeform Clubs, groaning at the members. Precautions were taken by the Government, but no display of force was made. General Colley's first defeat by the Boers was a crushing one.
