NOTAMERICANDY UNA MITERS

The press aud the public men Of
the entire civilized world have de-
nounced the couspiracyin which the
London explosions originated, but
this furnishes no bel p toward detect
ing the conspirators. Suspicion is
in a great degree directed toward
the United States, but there is
sufficient reason TO doubt whether
these suspicious are well founded.
Both British and American detect
ives exercise constant oversight Of
the steamers leaving American
ports, aud 1T is scarcely possible that
iuternel machines and dynamite
bombs could be Struggled on board
without their knowledge. Ii con
spIrators, armed with the elements
of destruction. could work their way
ON board IN Atlantic steamer in an
American port, it is still more i'm
I possible that they could disembark
AT an European port, and especially
at British port, without detection.
All the ocean steamers and the
ferries from the Continent of Europe
to British ports,swarm with British
/ detectives. The facilities for exer-
cising complete police espionage
over every male and female passen-
ger, and over every pound Of freight
or baggage on any steam or sail
vessel entering a British port, are
perfect. The customs and detective
police are so efficient that not a box
of cigars, not a keg of brandy, not
a roll of laces, not q collection Of
diamonds, can be Struggled into a
British port This being the fact,
1t appears to be impossible that the
consWrators carrying the materials
and the machinery which cansel
the recent explosions in London
cood have landed in England from
a vessel Of any Of tie American
lines.
At the same time, there is no
doab, that the dynamite clique" in
New York, at the head of which is
O'Donoyan Rosa, have collected
immense sums Of money under the
pretense that it was to be used in the
dynamite campaign. But the money

Maintaining in Sumatra.

Marsden, in his account Of Sumatra,
says that, although he had heard reports
of the canuibal habits of some of the
tribes, he had always dircredi ed
them until the truth OF the statement
was made entirely clear to him. He
says that the Battas, one of the peoples
of Sumatra, eat human flesh regularly,
not to satisfy the cravings of hunger,
but as a sort of ceremony to show their
detcstat.on of certain crimes by this
most ignominious punishment, and as
a savage display of revenge and insult
to their unfortunate enemies. People
killed or badly wounded by them in
war are eaten. and the captured sold
as slaves. These same Battas show q
certain amount Of culinary art in the
preparation Of this food for they broil
the flesh over a brisk fire, and flavor it
with salt, lemon. and red pepper.
4 friend Of the writers, who for
more than forty years has been in the
employ Of the Dutch Government, bears
personal witness to the prevalence Of
the custom in Sumatra up till recent
times. He was once making scientific
investigations in the interior of that Is
land, and was being entertained in the
most hospiiahie manner by the native
rajah. or chief, Of the place he was
then in. A feast had been made to

thus collected from the poor Irish
enthusiasts i'll the United States has
probably not been so used, but has
been embezzled by those who have
collected it. The dynamiters in the
United States are mean enough, and
guilty enough, no doubt, but their
Guilt does not extend to the actual
use of dynamite in England. Their
guilt is simply that of fraud and
larceny; not of conspiracy to destroy
