The Alleged Dynamite League


The London Tines Of the 81 inst. con
tains some curious disclosures concerning
the operations and plans of what Is called
the dynamite section OF the Fenian party In
this city, which there is good semi official
police reason for saying are, in the main
correct. The correspondent appears to have
been commissioned to ferret out al the
facts of the case from sources that were
likely TO be we'll infoi med, and the result of
his INQUIRIES NAV be summarized thus
Though the headquarters of the organ!zl-
ton are In this city, yet men are engaged iD
forwarding It in every large city in the Unit

Old lnovan Rosa was at one time the pro-
j ctor and conductor OF the party, he is not
now, nor has be been for some
time IN any position to control n,
or even to- learn of its secret dOings.
In fact, though sincere In his views,
Rosa talked too much for the eonspiTators
to trust hiul, and while his United Irish

managers of the business, they used him
only as figure-head. They directed opera
lions generally without his knowledge, and
on this account Rosa just now is In some
what dissatisfied condition OF mind. The
chief managers now are q trumvirate com
posed of DR.. Shine, Spearman and Byrne,
with some lesser lights, but the leader Dr.
Shine, a bold, reckless and in some respects
influential New York Irish Democratic poll
tician, who has held me offices ana was a
physician of repute. The funds are con-
trolled by this psr;on, and these pave a.
times amounted to 900 and $4,000.
Hatred Of England Is the handspring Of
the moyem emit, and it's chief object is to
harass the government at every Vul-
nerabe point, 10 destroy the lives of
officials that were most Instrumental Ia OPP

best terms, aud to let her go as an independ-

They have a regular system of cipher cable
correspondence with friends in Ireland,
England and France, so conducted that it is
impossible to lind them out. Inc ulscoV-
cry by British detectives OF the inIernal ma
