WELLINGTON CELTS.
CABLE THEIR REGRETS
WELLINGTON, May 2. The executive of the Celtic Club yesterday unanimously resolved to -dispatch the following cablegram to London:—"Mr H. H. Aisquith, Prime Minister, London.—The Irish here regret the painful occurrence on the part of a misguided section of the people, and feel, with confidence, that the firm and prudent administration of the British Government will secure an early re-establishment of order. They desire to express appreciation of and gratitude for the splendid services of the Government to Ireland, and feel assured that the administration of Irish affairs is in capable and tactful hands."
"To Mr John Redmond, Parliament, London.—Deepest sympathy with you in the present trouble. The unfortunate occurrence at Dublin tends unjustifiably to cast disgrace on our country, and discredit us abroad. We desire to express gratitude to our English and Scotch friends, who have extended us the greatest kindness and sympathy during those troubles. It is obvious that this movement is aimed to discredit the representatives of Ireland."
The cables are signed by Sir Joseph Ward (patron), Mr Mackenzie (president), Messrs Carroll, Cahill and Kennedy (vice-presidents).
