The IRISH IN DANGER.
A War of FIX termination Threatened
by England.

NEW York, April S.-The Worlds special
cable dispatch from London says: Nothing
that could with propriety be called panic
exists in the public mind here respecting
the discovt ries that have been made Of
plots and dynamite factories during this
week, but | have the best authority for
saying that great uneasiness is felt in
official quarters where many important
facts are known that for the present are OF
necessity kept a secret from the
world without. 1t is certain that a
widespread organization for the destruc-
tiun OF public buildings exists, and that as
yet only its subordinate agents have been
arrested or tracked. and the government
officials are aware of the existence in Lon
don and other cities Of the kingdom OF
large masses of explosives, all definite
trace of " hich, however, they have tempo
rsrily lost. At any moment, therefore,
the public may be startled by the news OF
q successful raid, for not only is II proba-
bic that some of the avengers in custody
will inform, but the police are working
upon
Every approach to London is guarded, and
even the baggage OF passengers upon the

guards vans. All these precautions, how
ever, can not prevent conspirators from
manufacturing explosives here, especially
as several papers have given fully direc-
tions for the preparation of fnitro-glycerine,
panclastine and similar destructive com-
pounds.
Il need hardly say that much soreness is
felt here at the fact that all these opera
tiOns are carried on by means of money,
which is openly collected in the United
States for the purpose, and remitted by the
well known agents of the dynamite party
in New York. That these agents should be
allowed 10 pursue their operations without
let or hinderanCe by the American Govern
ment is regarded as an unfriendly act
which the United States would not tolerate
in it's own case from another nation. |
have reason TO believe that this sentiment
will, in all likelihood, find vigorous ex-
preston next week in the House Of Com
mons. Troops have been sent forward TO.
day to Birmingham, TO guard against the

there, but may say that the claas in Eu-
gland which is at present in the most i'm
mlnent danger is the Irish population OF
London and our large man nufacturing cities.
should any lives be lost by another explo-
sion of dynamite, it is not too much TO
say that a literal war Of extermination
would be wsged, and the Irish driven out
of every town. Already notice that en-
ployerS are getting afraid to take them,
and a movement for their discharge is GO
ing on steadily in many large factories, so
that, as have already intimated, the blow
of the next explosion will be certain to
fall more heavily on the Irishmen than on
any other Glass.
The queens general health, hear upon
inquiry, remains good. but the local troub-
le, the sprain or bruise upoR the knee, is
not mending as il should. This fact natur-
ally gives rise TO some uneaSinesS, not
however, amounting to alarm. 1t is never
theless thought necessary that Sir William
Jenner should remain permanently at
Windsor Castle, aud all the engagements
made for her majesty have been indefinite
ly pUstposed. The official accounts are al
most silent, but II is pretty widely known
the doctors are both surprised and disap-
pointed that the injury has not yielded to
their treatment. No apprehenSions con-
cerping the Queens eventual recovery are,
however, reported.
