SENSATIONAL CHARGES.
Michael Davitt Says Government is Bacl
of the Dynamite Plots.

Michael Davitt Says Government is Back
of the Dynamite Plots.
A London dispatch of the oath says:
"Michael Davitt will begin tomorrow Il
series of disclosures to the effect that
the political events which began with
the dynamite explosions at the House
of Parliament, the Nelson column III
Trafalgar Square and the underground
railway, and ended with the Par
nell commission were the results
of a conspiracy on the part of the
government to connect Parnell with
these outrages, and so destroy him and
his movement together. Mr.. Davitt
says: We shall establish by indis-
putable evidence that one James
McDermott, of Brooklyn, \. V,
organized the dynamite plots in
Cork and Liverpool, in the year
1888, by the aid of money furnished him
by the British consul-geneIal at New
York and the officials in Dublin castle
that McDermott supplied dynamite to
his dupes, Featherstone, Dealy and
others, and then betrayed them
to the police, using the dynamite
in their possession as proof of their
guilt; that McDermott, by his own
confession. and over his signature, ad-
mitted that he was cognizant of and a
party to the outrage which occurred in
London; that French, the head of the
Irish constabulary detectives, was in
volved with McDermott in the dyna-
mite schemes in Ireland; that McDer-
mott sent Nyk to Montreal in 1888, with
the knowledge and consent of the Brit
ish consul, to organize a dynamite plot
in that city
"Mr Davitt goes on to state that a
female agent of the police visited Dub
lin in 1883, and offered money to differ
ent men in that city if they would con-
sent to engage in a plot to blow up the
House of Commons. The story begins
in October, 1882, and introduces Me
Dermott as an employG of the
British consul general. 1t describes
how he and another spy got III O'Dono-
van Rossa's office and stole all his pa
pers, which they delivered to the con
sui, and then the British authorities
cabled that McDermott be sent to En-
gland. The narrative breaks off with
the arrival of McDermott at Liverpool,
where he was met by an emissary of the
Dublin Castle Secret SerNiCe.'
