PARIS, April THE dynamite fends
are still at work in the vicinity of Mont

containing dynamite was placed IN cav

that town. The cartridge exploded, but
did very little damage. The chateau is not
now inhabited.
The arrests in London and other cities
of England of men having explosives in
their possession, cause considerable IN
easiness here. Fears are entertained that
attempts will be made to blow up build

are stopping up the openings to the Gel

BERLIN, April THE Nord DeatSche
Zeitung reverting to the subject of the de-
fensive alliance of Germany, Austria and
Italy, against France, says "the only rea-
son for the formation of such an alliance
would be the fear Of the French aggression.
and such fear would only be justified if a
military adventurer seized the po&er in
France, and il would be natural that the
three pacific powers should intervene to
preserve peace, if one Of them was threat
ened, but such intervention would REQUIRE
no treaty."
1t is stated that the emperor, who usual.

cided not to interfere IN the case of Con

DANsIG, April 7.-SeveraI steamers at

ter an attempt had failed to break the ice

port and the stores and timber here, valued
at 0,000,is considered as averted. There
is another large stoppage of ice to-day be-
low Dirchau, and an accumulation of 600
metres long is reported below the town of
Thorn. The villages of Bohnsack and Neu-
fahr and a portion of the Dansig causeway

-Four breaches in the embankment of the

THB ARRESTED AMERICANS AT PANAMA.
Upon the arrest of seven Americans at
Panama, on suspicion of having been en-
gagged in the robbery from the Panama
railroad of $4,000 sent to pay the officers
and men of the United States steamship
Lackawanna, the United States vice consul,
z. w. Turpin, at once applied to the Col
umbian authorities demanding a hearing
for the accused. This action he reported
to the state department, and his course
was approved and instructions were given
him to use every effort to secure for the
imprisoned Americans a speedy hearing.
Meanwhile the Panama railroad officials,
who had employed American detectives,
were enabled to put obstacles in the
way, upon the plea that the ends of
justice would be thwarte5 if time wer. not
given to obtain evidence, and representa-
tIons were made to the state department
that the men were undoubtedly guilty.
The department., however, in the CORE
spondence which ensued with our consul,
instructed him to exhaust every means to
obtain for the men speedy hearing and
an impartial trial. On the 26th ultimo
Turpin informed the department that he
had employed legal assistance, and hoped
to soon overcome delays which appeared
to be incident to criminal practice in that
country. Secretary Frelinghuysen stated
to-day that the matter had been vigorous
ly pushed and is now receiving close at
tention of the department, in that the
consuPs employment of legal assistance
had been approved, and instructions to
that effect had been sent him.
NEVER EMPLOYED HIM.

April Il have read in your paper the
very strange steps that have been taken by
j. G. Bigelow and bis effort to get at my
money, which good, kind and generous
people gave to me for the benefit of my
self and dear little baby. 1 have never
employed Bigelow to attend to any
business for me, and he has never
rendered me any service either,
and want the public to
know this. He pretends to have done SO
much for me and my husband, but 1 never
employed him, and I have no money for
Bigelow, and 1 hope the court will throw
aside his unjust claim. My poor husband
Is still in prison, and Bigelow should be
ashamed tc try to take from me the money
given to me and my child for our support.
BigelOw has never done any good for my
husband, AID he dannot have any of the
money with my consent. Respectfully,
