The Work of Dynamite.


Dublin, Dec. 26.-Thc first report that
the explosion last night outside Of the
detective office Mt Exchange court was
a political outrage is deprecated by the
police. General opinion is that the bomb
or Internal machine was placed by q
person with a personal spite against
the detective force. All day people from
all parts of the city have gathered IN
crowds near the place. Immediately
after the explosion somebody ran
through the city spreading the report
that John Morley, the Irish secretary
was passing the office ut the time of the
explosion, had been thrown to the
ground and was suffering from concus-
sion of the brain. Several friends OF
Mr.. Morley, who were not informed US
to his whereabouts, came running to the
office to inquire after his injuries. The
only person severely injured was the de-
tective who died. Three men and a
woman in Il side street about one hun
dred yards off were thrown to the
ground and remained unconscious for
several minutes. They sustained only a
few bruises and walked home. Detec-
tive Synnottt, who lost his life by the
explosion, when found lay PROSTATE, MS
face manglcd, an arm and n leg snat-
tered and severely wounded on the chcst.
He was taken to the Kcrvis street hos
pital, where his injured limbs were am
putatcd. He lay unconscious for about
twenty minutes and then died. The
walls of the detective office were cracked
by the force of the explosion and all
of the windows and window frames
were broken. At the spot whe-e the
Internal machine exploded the laggins
Of the court yard was torn up for sever
al feet and n great hole was e~xcavated
in the earth. Apparently Synnott had
kicked or otherwise moved the machine
away from the wall Of the building,
and this very much lessened the dam
age to the structure. In the interior all
the rooms are strewn with broken
plaster and 'splintcrs of glass. There
have been no arrests in connection with
the outrage nor have any clues been
discovered, though the police are seek
ing to ferret out the guilty.

Indiana Aroused.

Mancos. Col, Dec. 27-There is a possi-
bility of Indian trouble as a result of o
rush to the San Juan gold field. "Navajo"
Frank came into this place to-day. He is
one of the most intelligent men in his tribe
and in the councils of chief. He says the
Indians are becoming apprehensive of the
presence Of so many white men passing over
the reservation: They claim the gold on the
men must keep off their land. Capt. B. n.
Wetherell. one Of the Oldest settlers In the

NAVAJO Frank more than appears OH the
surface.

been restless for some time. and 1t would
take little to make them break loose in

out by his chief to find ont all he can about
