NEW YORK. JAN A.-Mr. J. Pierrepont Ed
wards the British vicec consul, in speaking of the
explosion, said: II am utterly at a loss to imag-
inc what these people mean. what their object is
and what they expect to attain. 1t is. of course,
a most difficult thing to prevent outrages like
those of today. 1t is such an easy matter in a
crowded building for person to drop an explo-
sive in some out-of- the way corner, and then
make his escape while the fuse is burning. You
can not watch everybody in big metropolis;
you can't give every man his own detective to
follow at his heels.
Judging from the papers l should think that
the general opinion in England is that these out

money to carry them out is collected here 1

disturbed by jealousies, the work might be car

all suspicion therefrom. 1t is the business Of
the police authorities to ferret those localities

Being asked whether it is not possible to
declare martial law, he replied in the negative;
but said that Parliament if the exgencies Of
the situation demanded such action, can suspend
the habeas corpus act. and thus be enabled

A Traitorous Tribe of Arabs.

CAIRO, Jan. 24-Information from an Arab
source has reached here to the effect that the
force that attacked Sir Herbert Stewart, at Abu
kIea, was omposed'principally of Hassaneyeh
Arabs, whose neutrality had been purchased by
Major Kitchener through the agency of Shek
Saleh, chief of that portion of the Kabbobish
tribe inhabiting the western part of the Bayuda
desert. The price paid by Major Kitchener for
the neutrality of the Hassaneyeh tribe was $50,
600 cash and the promise of 1000 rifles, and
exemption from tax for ten years, The Hassan
eyeh had sent five Of their chiefs to Kort as
hostages. This breaking Of their engagement
by the Arabs is considered very serious Ac-
cording to the dispatches received here in the
bazaars and by ulemas attached to the Univers
ity Al Azhar, it is claimed the battle of Abu
Klea was British defeat. The Mahdi's best
troops were not engaged at Abu Klea the
Arabs are confident that General Stewards
forces will be exterminated as soon as he comes
in contact with the main body of the Mahdi's
trOODS.

A Talk with George A. Sala.

CINCINNATI Enquirer.
George Augustus Sala reached the Gibson
House early last evening, and was asked about
the work Of the dynamite faction IN England at
the present time He did not jump out of the
window at the mention of the word. but calmly
made answer that he thought it was high time
for the English government to begin an earnest
investigation looking to the discovery of the seat
of the conspiracy which is located somewhere in
England. In his opinion it is manifestly unfair
to accuse the United States Government of har-
boring the promoters of the fell designs against
British life and property. O'Donovan Rossa he
was of the idea has nothing more to do with the
dynamite schemes and their execution than is
represented in his tRossas) daily expenditure of
thin air. In other words, Mr.. Sala thinks him

successful efforts Of the conspirators he thought

described as a stone casing of four towers, ne
did not think it possible to damage to the extent
claimed by the aid of any explosive. OF West
minister Hall he was not so sure.
Returning to his original thought. Mr.. Sala
reiterated that he thought the conspiracy was
located in England, possibly in London. With

of Socialists was held this afternoon. The meet

wife of A r. Parsons, white man. Saturdays
explosions in London were the principal theme
of discussion, and the speakers were unusually
fierce and bloodthirsty in their advocacy of the
use of dynamite. The London explosions were
characterized as great advertisement Of the
power of the dynamitards 1t was said that it
showed the ability of the Socialists to go into
large crowds in broad light and explode their
bombs with perfect safety One speaker, in re-
ply to an objection that the use of dynamite
caused the death of innocent persons, said that
the innocent must suffer for the good of the
great body. In the case of the London explo
sions, the machine should have been set off in
the House of Lords first, in order that the large
number of persons in the House Of Commons
might have time to escape. Another said that
little hogs grease and little nitric acid formed
very powerful compound, ten cents worth of
remarked that the body Of dead capitalist
would serve the purpose as we'll
as a hog. There were 5000 men
in Chicago who knew how to
manufacture dynamite in their own kitchens,
and it was well known that the whole of Chicago
could be set aolaze in moment with electricity.
1t was suggested that the Board Of Trade and
newspaper Offices be attacked first Still another
speaker agreed with General Sherman, that an
army Of 900 men stood no chance against a

this article will furnish clue to the guilty per-
sons. Inspector Dennine says that on hearing
the second explosion he ran to the spot and saw
not soul in the place. The entrance was block
AIDED by debris. He noticed smell of sulphur
and gunpowder. Cox and Cole, it is believed
furnished certain descriptions which will lead
to inquiries that may result in the discovery of
the authors of the outrage
Col Majendie today made an inspection of
the explosion at the Tower of London, as well
as the chaos would permit. The Martini rifles
which had been hurled from their stands re-
maned in confusion and rendered impossible a
near approach to the exact spot where the explo-
sion occurred. The scene will be photographed
tomorrow. COL Majendie says he is satisfied
that dynamite was used to cause the
explosion. He says that about four or five
pounds of that explosive, properly compressed,
would only measure four or five cubic inches,
and could easily be concealed in an overcoat
pocket or in the folds of woman's dress. The
Tower officials believe woman deposited the
dynamite in the building. The police some time
ago had reason to believe a woman was constant
ly passing back and forth between America and
England for the purpose of importing dynamite
She was frequently watched, but evidence
sufficient to warrant her arrest was never OBJ
tanned
The wreckage at the Parliament buildings and
the Tower will remain untouched until Colonel
Maiendie has made a further inspection to-mor-
row. Prof. Abel, DIR. Dupre and other experts
are assisting Majendie.
The canon of the Catholic Cathedral at Ply
mouth, in his sermon to-day, denounced the
London outrages of yesterday as the work Of
American emissaries. whose object evidently
was murder
1t is learned that a mysterious Irshman, who
is described by the police as Cunningham. alias
Dalton alias Gilbert, and who was arrested at the
Tower, on suspicion of having been concerned
in the explosion at that place, has not
beer released. He is still detained in White
chapel police station. The guard in front Of
the station has been doubled in conse-
quence of the gathering of an enor-
nous crowd of excited citizens in Leman
street, in the vicinity of the station.
Loud curses and ominous threats are continually
heard, and there is no doubt desperate attempt
would be made to lynch the prisoners if it
were not for the presence of the police and
military. Cunningham will be arragned at the
Police court in Whitechapel road to morrow
morning.

Paul Holman Apologies, and There win Be
No Blood Spilled.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-All Of to-day's Wash
ington and New York papers have sensational
accounts of young Paul Holman's light with the
Venezuelan, at Mrs ex-senator Stewards party,
on Thursday evening. Several of the papers have
the correspondence which passed between Hol-
man and DeCastro. The latter sent a challeng.
to the former by couple of his friends but the
Hoosier showed the white feather and pleaded
intoxication in extenuation of his indiscreet
blow. Finally, he wrote, at the dctation Of
those who bore the challenge, a most abject
apology, stating that he was so drunk he knew
not what he was doing. This appears to haye
allayed the heated blood OF the untamed South
American, and there is no danger of trouble
now. Mrs. Stewart, az whose house the Diff
Guilty occurred, is much annoyed at the occur
renee although she was in no way responsible
for it.

ANXIETY AS TO STEWART.
Thousand Callers at the War OfIice-Ru-

LONDON, Jan. 25 5-The War Office has seldom
been so thronged on Sunday as it was to-day.
There were over 1000 callers, including mem
bers of the Commons and of the Cabinet, and
officers of the army. Many of the latter, who
have been on leaves of absence, had travelled
hundreds of miles on hearing of the
London explosions and the critical con
dition of affairs in the Soudan, to ask
for active service. All were inquiring eagerly
for news regarding Stewards situation, bat the
officials had no news to give.
Plenty of rumors were in circulation, however,
to the effect that Stewards entire force had
been killed. Numerous officers of the govern
ment and others called at the War Office during
the day to learn if there was any news.
