Further Particulars.
NKw YoHx, May 8.-A cable special
gives additional points of the assassina-
ton. The attack was so sudden and 81
lent it scarcely attracted any notice, but
the scoffls was observed from the gar
dens of the Vice Regal Lodge by Earl
Spencer. who had arrived shortly be-
fore. Imagining that it was merely a
brawl, he gave directions that the po-
lice be sent to see what was tho matter.
Though tho murder took place in rather
secluded part Of the grounds, there
were three or four witnesses (at dis
tance) of the occurrence, but no outcry
having apparently been raised, no one
seems to have suspected the desperate
nature of the encounter, and it was
thought to be only q drunken brawl.
All accounts agree that tha assassius
wore four in number, and drove park
car, but none of the spectators were
sufficiently near to be able to identity
either the car Or its occupants. A post
mortem examination of the bodies at
the Chief Secretary's lodge showed IL
wounds on Burk's body and on Cav
endish's. The chief wound ON the for
mer was inflicted from behind, psne-
trating the breast, and on the latter the
chief wound also was inflicted from be-
hind, sevsring an important artery on
the neck. One wound ON Cavendish's
left forearm had severed the muscles,
and fractured the bone, ss If inflicted
with hatchet or sword. The last off,
cial act Of Cavendish in conjunction with
Earl Spencer was to arrange for the I'm
mediate release Of all SUBJECTS. sxcebt 8.
Four men have been arrested on suspi-
cion. The popular feeling is intense.
In all the churches today the preachers
with scarcely an exception deplored the
outrage, and uttered tho severest de-
neutrality-suspicious. the murderers. Also
masses and prayers were offered up for
tho dead. A report which appears to
have the most color Of truth, and is
most generally believed il that the four
suspects are Englishmsn. Capt. Great
cry, of the dragons, who saw the MUIR
ders rs they passed in the car, and wit
messed the scuffle at a distance, said as
they passed: "You have roughly handled
them" They replied roughly: "You be

tify one Of the men concerned in the
assassination, and the gatekeeper Of
the park says he can identify two.
