LONDON, April 6.

The warrant for the arrest of Oscar Wilde was issued at the instance of the Treasury. Although Wilde's name has been removed from the playbills, the companies continue to play his pieces for the present. Wilde, in his letter to the press explaining his reason for abandoning his case, states that he is willing to bear the ignominy in order to avoid calling Lord Douglas to give evidence against his father, but he says that the son was eager and quite willing to enter the box.
