LONDON, May 6. -- Oscar Wilde, it is announced, will be released from custody to-morrow. His sureties have been approved. Their names
have not been made public. Wilde will probably leave London at once for the seaside.
The statement of Mr. C. P. Gill, counsel for the prosecution, that Wilde would be retried at the next session, was made without the
authority of the Public Prosecutor. It has not yet been decided whether the Government will take steps to have Wilde placed on trial.
They are willing that he should be arraigned again, but it is understood that the heads of the Church and many other eminent persons
urge upon the Government the fact that much harm would be done to the public morals by the adoption of such a course, referring to the reprinting of
details of the case.

In the meantime the police are ordered not to maintain too close a watch upon Wilde's movements and not to prevent him from going to
the Continent if he wishes to go there.
