St. Thom- as Mail Notes, April 6th. The many friends of Mr. Orford Hall who recently left here for San Juan, Po:- to Rico, will be sorry to hear that he is lying seriousiy ill at the lores Hospi- tal, Santurce. So serious is his condition that his two brothers left by the "*Vir- No. 85. the executives under a great diffi- culty, because they do not desire to arrest the guiltless, but on the other hand the first duty of the executive is to leave no stone unturned to lay its hanas on those who are terrorizing society, and it may therefore become necessary to dislocate to some degree the normal life of the community. “‘he Premier exprcssed the belier that the terrorist campaign is prompted laige- ly by the desire to prevent the set- tlement of the Irish question by rea- son and good wiil, which he believes are the only means for attaining unity and conciliation. He declares that the Govt. will not be deflected from what it ve- lieves to be the only course consistent with reason and common sense, by a ruthless and cruel campaign ot assassi- nation, but he says he is anxious to make easy as possible the task of those en- deavouring to carry on the administra- tion of the ecountry on reasonable lineg, and if there are any means by which moderate men can be helped and encour- aged to withstand or oppose the present campaign of intimidation, so as to bring nearer the settlement of the Ilrish ques: tion, he will gladly co-operate in bring- ing them intr effect. .
