ALARM OF FENIANS RISING

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST GREEK FIRE.
(CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.)

The Western Morning News of this day (Fridayl reports
that, in consequence of information received by the
authorities, special precautions are being taken at Devon-
port and Keyham Dockyards against a Fenian attack, or
the effects of Greek fire. Sandbags and casks of soda and
water have been placed in charge of officers at various
points, and steam launches cruise in the harbour all
night.'

PORTSMOUTH, Thursday.

Some alarm has been created here by the protective
measurses which the Government has taken to prevent a
surprise in the harbour and at the Royal establishments.
A meeting of all the commanding officers was hastily
called on Tuesday afternoon, after which men were told
off to perform row guard duty all night from the southern
end of the harbour to the upper part of Fareham Lake,
where the powder-ship is now stationed. In the dock-
yard hoses were laid ready to be affixed to the main
pipes, and steam launches and gunboats were kept with
their fires backed up all night ready for any duty. It is
said these precautions followed some remarks made by a
few discontented emigrants who left on Wednesday even-
ing in the Tamar, and who had created a great disturb-
ance ; but the impression is that the Admiralty have
received intimation that some dash will be made at one
of the Royal establishments, and that repressive mea-
sures are organised at all alike. At Clarence-
yard, Gosport, the two steam-tugs are kept with
their fires backed up, and everything has been done to
prevent the possibility of a successful surprise there. Yes-
terday afternoon eight non-commissioned officers and 32
privates from the head-quarters of the Portsmouth divi-
sion of Royal Marines at Forton embarked for duty in
the steam reserve. This would furnish a complement for
the eight gunboats which are kept ready in the harbour
for immediate service.

CHATHAM, Thursday.

Last night, for the first time, a guard of the Royal.
Marines Light Infantry, divided into three parties, pro-
ceeded from the Royal Marine Barracks, and embarked
on board her Majesty's ships Sultan, Cerberus, and Glou-
cester, lying in the harbour off the dockyard, for the pur-
pose f guarding those vessels from any Fenian attack,
orders to that effect having been received from the Ad-
miralty. A guard of the Royal Marines will be placed on
board each of those vessels nightly until further orders,
and, at the same time, additional precautions are adopted
by the heads of the Metropolitan Police doing duty at this
port for the safety of the dockyard and the other Go-
vernment establishments.
