DE VALERA IMPLACABLE.

UNDISMAYED BY EXECUTIONS. United Service. LONDON. Dec. 11.

The Dublin correspondent of the Daily Mail says that in a mysterious bulletin Do Valera's typewritten journal, which appears with clockwork regularity, how and where no one knows, is published a rebel manifesto in reply to the Government execution reprisals. In defiant language it foreshadows bloodshed, and says: "The Republicans are neither terrified nor dismayed, they have consecrated their lives to their cause; let those who by word or deed sanction the reprisals know that for them thero will be no ease or peace till this monster, begotten of England, is utterly and finally destroyed." In the same number of the bulletin. Do Valera's Cabinet gives its version of the affairs leading up to the present position, declaring that the spirit of England is at the bottom of the trouble. DE VALERA'S "GOVERNMENT.';' While the Parliament of the Irish Freo State aits at Lcinster House, Dublin, a so-called Government, of the Irish Republic under the presidency of Do Valera issues decrees and threats, and organises the rebel campaign of outrage, Dc Valera has nominated a Council of State composed of himself, Austin Stack, Robert Barton, Count Plunkett, J.
