THE FEN1ANs DUBLIN BAY STRONGLY GARRI-
SONED.
Dublin telegram to the London Post
dated October 20, says considerable cx-
cltemcnt has been caused by the fact that
the Pigeon House Fort commanding Dub
IN Bay, has been garrisoued since Satur-
day, by large military detachmcnts. All
the guards were also double mounted,
held under arms all night. During the
entire OF yesterday, four general officers
were in the fort. The gates or bridges are
now closed.
These precautions, tits said, were occa-
stoned by q communication from the COM
AAIiiOAHt, say lNS tHaU tuTcc large vessels
were observed lying in the of1ing. and that
he would not be responsible for the safety
OF the fort unless he received reinforce
ments.
The Magazine Fort, in Phoenix Park, is
guarded at present i'll a similar manner to
the Pigeon House, ana the greatest care is
exercised in allowing none but authorized
persons to enter the military barracks
The Irish Times finds an explanation Of
these measures in the fact that in the Pi-
geon House Fort is stored an immense
quantity OF muskcts, among them the
arms OF many regiments of militia. Close
to the fort, also, liz powder ship, contain
ing very great amount of ammunition.
In ordinary times, these would be suffi-
clentlv protected by small guard; but in
periods OF excitement, and when n conspi-
racy for the overthrow of the government
and the establishment of a republic is
known to exist, it was prudent to place a
considerable force in the Pigeon House
Fort, to prevent even all attempt on the
part of the seditious to obtain other ammu-
milton or arms.
