OUTBURST IN DAIL

MINISTER AND GENERAL PENSIONS FOR REPUBLICANS PAST TROUBLES REVIVED By Telegraph—Pres3 Association—Copyright (Received October 27, 5.5 p.m.) DUBLIN, Oct. 26 " God knows I do not want to revive hatred and bitterness," Raid General Mulcahy in the Dail in fabling amendments to the Pensions Bill designed to withhold pensions from persons who shot members of the provisional Government and other officials. The Minister of Defence, Mr. Frank Aiken, retorted that if General Mulcahy wanted trouble lie would get all he wanted. Recalling his own service under General Mulcahy Mr. Aiken said: "I burned 16 trains at his orders, using whisky, not petrol. I was praised for doing it. " General Mulcahy showed himself to be a bully and behaved brutally when he was a victor. We want pensions for the dependants of the men he executed." IRISH ANNUITIES MR. DE VALERA'S DECISION USE FOR PARTY PURPOSES (Received October 27, 7.5 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 27 The Daily Telegraph's special correspondent at Dublin says he understands that Mr. de Valera is convinced there is not the slightest chance of his point of view being accepted by Britain and has decided to devote the accumulated land annuities payments, which now total more than £2,000,000 to the purposes of the Free State, including the strengthening of the position of his own party.
