the Outrsges.
LONDON, May 30-Daylight showed the
damage by the explosions fully equal to the
| worst anticipations. A crowd of excited
people are visiting the scenes. Policemen
are drawn up in line across the streets SO
as to prevent the access OF the multitude.
Orders have been given to leave the
wreckage untouched until an examination
is made by Majendie. At st. James Thea
ter, 100 Yards distant, the explosions
sounded like two claps OF thunder The
audience were alarmed nearly into panic.
Several ladies tainted. The men started
to stampede but were reassured by shouts
bidding everyone to sit still as no ha, N
| was done. The second bomb ST st. Ja1.s9ae:,
| Square exploded against the residence of
| Sir Watkin Wynn and produced huge
white fracture four feet in hight and three
| in breadth. The windows were smashed
| and the furniture damaged.
AT THE CARLTON CLUB HOUSE.
| The explosion created great havoc in
| the Junior Carlton Clubhouse. Numerous
cases of wine were destroyed. The club
will remain closed several days. An hour
| before the explosion there was an out
| break of fire at the War Office, which was
speedily extinguished. 1t is unknown
| whether it was incendiary. So far as
known up to noon thirteen persons were
| injured, including five women. All the
| wounded are in the hospital. Five, in
cluding policeman, are in a precarious
condition. The dynamite was carried
down iron steps leading to the kitchen and
| cellars, and placed in the cellar under a
| pathway with a lighted fuse. The upward
| force of the explosion broke large hole
| in the pavement and wrecked the base
ment apartments of the club. The explo-
sion wes most destructive on the west side
| of ST. James Square. The windows in the
| Duke of Cumberland's house and OF the
| War Office in Pail Mall were shattered.
| AT SIR wATKIN wYNN's RESIDENCE
| the bomb thrown over the railing by the
pedestal lodged upon stone sill foot
below the dining room.
COL. MAJENDIE
| and Ford are busy examining the debris in
Scotland Yard. The police found pack
| ages of dynamite. Ford says considering
the quantity of explosives used it is mar
velous the damage is no greater. Had all
| the dynamite exploded it is impossible to
surmise the effect. The dynamite dis
covered is powder precisely similar to that
used in the outrages few months ago.
| Three hundred panes of glass were shat
| tered in the detective Office. A large iron
screen near where the explosives were
| placed was blown thirty feet and twisted
| in all kinds of shape. Two persons tried
to arrest man hurrying along the hall
| way opposite from the direction which
they were going and away from the explo-
suddenly emerged from a corner and re-
| leased the man and the whole party has
tened away. The dynamite under the
Nelson monument Jailed to explode,
owing to defective fuse. Had the six
teen packages exploded the monument
would have been demolished and wide
spread ruin and loss OF lie caused.
DYNAMITERs ARRESTED.
4O'Ciock p M-There are rumors that
four dynamiters have been arrested. Pho
tographs of the scenes of the explosion
have been taken. Dublin steamers are
carefully watched, and extraordinary pre-.
cautions taken to guard the barracks, mon
uments and public buildings in all leading
towns throughout England. Leading Dub
ling papers, such as the Freemdn's Journal
the Irishmat and E1press strongly denounce
the outrages. There was profound sensa-
ton in Paris caused by the explosions.
The inability OF the English police to pre-
vent the outrages is severely criticised.
France will do all in her power to assist in
the discovery OF the miscreants. 1t is be-
lieved that the dynamite was smuggled
into England from France by women.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The newspapers devote large portion
of their space to the explosions. The
Telegraph says: sit behooves the English
people to reflect whether sterner measures
should net be taken to put a stop to pub
Il i ~.of ..l-
posed. Each fresh act of cruelty merely
strengthens the resolve of Englishmen
not to yield one jot to those wishing to
dismember the empire"
The Standard declares: "No concession
should be made to outrage. So far the
only result attained has been failure
and penal servitude. The nation is dis
gusted and annoyed, but not alarmed. Ii
the attempt had fully succeeded last night
we would not answer for the reprisals of
the London population"
The Times SAYS: sThe explosions fol-
lowed shortly upon the introduction OF
Trevelyan's Irish land bill The inference
is legitimate that baffied Nationalists have
again vented their displeasure in bastard
ly mischief"
The NeVs thinks the occurrence is an
evidence of dynamite conspiracy more
widely spread and served by more astute
agents than hitherto suspected. 1t sue
cessfully battles the detectives, and ap-
pears to have easy command over men
and materials for nefarious purposes. The
News urges public watehfulness of persons
leaving or returnins to their lodgings at
the hotels.
J The Irrepressible O'Donovan Rossa.
New YORK, May 3l.-Rossa says: ave
got England at last. 1t will not be long
before she will be ON her knees. Last
nights explosion was only the beginning
: of her troubles" Patrick joyce, secre.
tary of the Revolutionary Brotherhood
says: "Last nights work ought to conAince
England that we are in earnest. Scotland
Yard was attacked because it is there all
|, the plots against Ireland are hatched, be-
sides it is the headquarters of Fred Jarvis
one of the conspirators who came to this
country year ago, and with the comm '.
ance Of Inspector Newcomb put Mat
O'Brien, a friend of McDermott, in the
New York postofiice to pry into the cor
responce of 1rishmen. The explosion
shows how useless are tactics when we
can blow the very headquarters of the
