WHAT 0'D0ENOyAN ROSA SAYS.
NEW YORK, october 3l.-ODOnnoyan
ROssa comes to the front. as usual, when
any damage has been done in England
which has the appearance OF being the
work OF design. He states that the eXplo.
sions which occurred yesterday in the I'm
foreground railway in London were the
work OF the Fenian Brotherhood. OF whose
movements he is apprised. The work was
done by band OF Fenilns in London,
who were in constant communication with
their comrades in New York. The Wool |
witch explosion was only another sample OF
what is being done. London would be i'm |
ashes, he said, before long unless England |
gave Up Ireland. New developments might |
be expected nj any moment, for il was now |
the purpose OF the Brotherhood to push I
the work rapidly forward and reduce Eng
Land to submission.
