LONDON. June, 9.
The dynamlters who planned and exc.
cuted the explosion in Scotland Yard
and Pail Mall, selected a time when the
streets would be covered with pedestri-
ans and vehicles. Horses in front of the
houses of Parliament were frightened by
the explosion in Scotland Yard, and
caused many casualties. The man who
fired the fuse in st. James Square made
his escape. Sixteen packages of dyna-
mite, with fuse attac he'd, were found
under the Nelson monument in Trafal-
gar Square. 1t is believed to be Of
American manufacture. The explosion
was the most destructive on the west
side of St. James Square. The windows
of the Duke of Cleveland's house and
tle war Office in Pail Mall were shattered.
At Sir Watkin Wynn's residence a
bomb was thrown over the railing by
pedestrian. 1t lodged upon a stone
sill, foot below the dining-room.
Daylight showed the damage by the ex-
| plosions to be fully equal to the worst
anticipations. A crowd of excited people
| visited the scenes. Policemen were
| drawn up in line across the streets in the
vicinity to prevent the access of the mui-
ttudes. Orders were given to leave the
| wreckage untouched until the eXamna.
ton by Colonel Majendie.
An hour before the, explosions there
was an outbreak of fire at the War Office,
which was speedily eXtinguiShed. It Is
| unknown whether or not IL was tired by
an incendiary. So far as known
thirteen persons were injured, in.
GLIDING five women. All wounded are II
the hospital. Five, including a police
man, are in precarious condition.
The newspapers devote large portion
or their pages to their expressions. The
Telegraph says; at Dehooyes the English
! people to reflect whether sterner meas
ures should not be taken to put a stop to
the public peril and mischief to which
they are exposed. Each fresh act of crl
city and malice should strengthen the re-
i solve of Englishmen MOTTO yield one lot
to those wishing to dismember the EN-.
pre-" ..--..
The Standard declares: 'No conces
sion should. be made to the outrage. So.
far the only result attained has been fail
ure and penal servitude. The nation is
disguised and annoyed, not alarmed. If
the attempt had fully succeeded last
night we would not want to answer for
the repriSals of the London populace.n
The Times says: "The explosions fol-
lowed shortly upon the Introduction Of
Treve!yan's Irish land bill. The infer
ence is legitimate that the batlled Nation
alists here again vented their displeasure
In dastardly mischief"

more astute agents than have hitheto been
