 The Dynamite Campaign-FurtherA Ar. l rests of the Plotters-SeveraI Amerf-
 cans in the Toils-The Defense of the l Prisoners.
 LONDON, April S.-The arrests of dynamite l fends still go on. John Kirton was ar
 rested yesterday at the Eusten street railway
 station in this city. It is stated that he had
 but recently arrived from the United States | He refused to submit to a peaceabIe arrest and made some resistance. He. was, howev- CT, speedily overpowered by the police. Kir- ton was trying to escape from London when l he was arrested. From papers found on the other prisoners there is little doubt that Kir- l ton had been selected to commit actual deeds of destruction. On Kirton's arraignment in l the Bow street Police court yesterday after
 noon it was proved that he had corresponded | with Gallagher, the man arrested at Lam ! beth, and that he had delivered letter ad- 1 dressed to Gallagher Friday at the Charing I Cross Hotel. Kirton was remanded until l Thursday next.
 The men Deasey and Flanagan, arrested
 recently at Liverpool for bringing internal
 machines and explosives into the country I from Cork, were arraigned in court yester- day. It was deposed that the box which Deasey had in his possession when arrested contained materials for making explosives and also preparation of arsenic and dyna-
 mite and parts of an internal machine, con- sisting of an apparatus by which sulphur ic acid could be allowed to slowly soak through into mixture, the princi- pal element of which was chloride of potash. It was explained that with this combination an explosion could be produced
 within maximum time of forty minutes. The machine was of exactly similar construct ion to those used in Glasgow and in the st- tempt on the office of the London Times.
 The men were committed without trial.
 man named FIaherty, who has been un- der police surveillance at Birmingham, came near being mobbed yesterday for having ex- pressed sympathy with Whitehead, and only escaped from his house by the intervention of the police.
 About 8 grain of the dynamite which was found among Whiteheads stock of destruct- i've substances was exploded expert ment. The report of the explosion was deafening.
 The four men, Norman, Gallagher, Wilson and Dalton, have been removed from the jail at Clerkenwe1l to the prison at Millbank- The transfer was made under a strong escort of policemen, as it was feared than an at tempt would be made to iberate the priso D. CTS during their removal. William Doveton Smyth was retained as counsel to conduct the defence of the prisoner Norman, getting his retainer and instructions from MT. De Tracy, an American lawyer, who is at pres ont located in Bow street. The London po- lice are convinced that former trifing out rages which have been committed here, like the attempt to blow up the Mansion House, were undertaken by Irishmen resident in London, who were instigated by persons in America. They are of opinion also that the smaller attempts were merely made as exper- iments to precede more serious endeaVors to destroy property.
 MT. Tracy Gould, of the American bar will defend Gallagher, one of the alleged dyna- mite fiends.
 William Ansdurghe, an Irish-American and a friend of Gallagher, who was arrested at Lambeth on Thursday charged with com plicity in the dynamite conspiracy, was ar rested hers to-day on the same charge.
 The Phenix Park Murders-A Strong
 Chain of Evidence Against the Prison
 ers-Precautfons Against an Attack on
 KiImninham.
 DUBLIN April 8.-The secret inquiry at the Castle before MT. ACurran has not yet been concluded. From the peculiar meth ods which have been adopted by the autheri- ties in conducting the examination of wit nesses it is believed that evidence is being collected or created for the purpose of mak- ing strong rebuttal in case the prisoners charged with the Phoenix Park murders ad here to their determination of relying upon an alibi for their defense. The detective po- lice now claim that every movement on the 9th of May of the men who are to be ar raigned as the actual murderers of Lord 1 Frederick Cavendish and MT. Burke has been ascertained through discovering the l persons with whom the men associated from time to time during the day and afternoon l and up to the time when they left Dame l street for the purpose of lying in wait at the 1 place where the murders were committed. l Extra precautions have been adopted at Kill | mailman jail where the murder conspiracy | prison CTS are confined. The prison is singu- l larly well situated for an attempt being made l to blow up such portion of it as would en- able large number of those confined in it l to escape. thickly wooded field bounds it | on the southern side, and although there are | always two sentries of the guard posted out | side the walls here, yet it would not be diff | Der of men to get under cover of the trees near enough to the soldiers to be l able to rush upon and overpewer them be- fore they could give the alarm and then blow up the wall with dynamite and rescue the accused in the confusion. There is also III Iu1S pldc0 u CuAVoEG uAOoE SAc prison and up which it is quite possible for an active lad to creep far enough to place charge of dynamite which could be exploded l with great effect upon the whole build l ing It is singular that up to the present no steps have been taken to secure the entrance of this | drain, but the authorities appear fully alive 1 to danger from the we t side where are two l small cottages within few feet of the walls. l In the space between these cottages and the l jail sentineIs are continually on duty with l strict orders to be most vigilant and to allow l no one to approach on any pretence whatever l unless he has the countersign. On the north | and east the jail is perfectly safe. In the 1 former the inner prison is so far from the | outer walls that it would be practically | useless to make any attempt upon them, and | besides the high road on this side is we'll pa trolled by both police and military, while on | the other the jail is protected by the guar | house where there is always guard of thir- | ty-seven men. On the whole the chief thing ! to be feared except on the south side is a mine being constructed from some of the | houses near the jail to point where an ex- plosion could be effected.
