LONDON, Dec. 0.-The government au.
thorities continue 10 receive alarming in,

mitcrs, and from present indications must
have received some startling intelligence
during the past twenty-four hours. The
sentries ut Windsor Castle have been
doubled and effective measures have been
taken for protecting the members OF tho
royal family from outrage. The guards at
the government buildings and railway
stations have also been increased, aud the
Scotland Yard detectives are displaying
an unusual amount OF activity, which in.
dicates that tho Home Secretary really
believes that another Outrage is about to
be pcrpetrated.
II rs rumored that the real cause
Of this display Of cautionary meas.
nres by the authorities is that q
large quantity OF dynamite is missing
from one Of the Nobel Dynamite Com.
pany's dcpOts. The company has 500 dc.
pots, many of which are not guarded dur.
ing the night, and no measures huye been
taken to prevent their being robbed, al.
though the police have often urged the
home Secretary either to place guards
over them to compel the company to en-.
ploy watchmcn for that purpose. Another
report Inns it that the lone Office have re-.
ceiycd information that the dynamjtards
in Paris had suddenly decreased in num-
bers, That many Of the more active mem
bers We're missing from their usual llaunts
in that city, and were reported to be in
London. A number Of loiterers have re-
Gently been seen in tile neighborhood OF
Windsor Castle, and this fact, together
with tho report from Paris, had led the
Government TO adopt extraordinary eau
