 London, Sept. 14.--A communication of a unofficial character was issued this afternoon touching on the arrest Of the alleged dynamite conspirators. The communication says, among other things, that the Scotland Yard officials have been fully aware for some time. past that a gang of desperadoes has been engaged in America in preparing the details and arranging the ramifi- cations of an extensive and diabolical plot to perpetrate a dynamite outrage in England and establish a reign of terror.
 Chief Inspector Melville of the Metro politan police has had charge of the Scotland Yard arrangements for frus- tratng the designs of the conspirators and gradually and with great secrecy drew a network around the plotters. The fact was known to the police that the conspirators were in close commun- ication with prominent Russian nihil- ists in the United States and through
 this information the police were en- abled to discover upon almost undoubt- ed evidence that the conspiracy had re- gently developed scheme to perpe-
 trate an outrage upon the czar upon
 the occasion. of his visit.
 The movers of the plot were fenians in America and when they had carried their conspiracy as far as they could in the United States, Tynan and the other agents were sent to Europe to put the designs of the plotters into operation. They left America as secretly as pos sible, coming by different routes Their arrival was known, however, and their
 every movement was dogged by the
 Scotland Yard detectives. After treat
 ing of the arrests of the dynamiters
 and the capture by the police of all of their documents, etc, the communi- cation adds that Bell was assigned to go to Scotland to direct a series of out rages there, the necessary explosives to be sent to him from Belgium as they 1 might be required When Bell was taken into custody he had between 9300 and GA00 in cash upon his person, to-
 gethef withsAmerican letters of credit The Central News says that the plot, in which it is charged that Tynan, Bell, Wallace and Kearney were implicated, was matched in the United States and was widespread in ramifications, not only in England, but also in various continental countries. The conspiracy was started months ago, and although those connected with it thought they were working with the utmost secrecy, so far as the authorities were concern ed, there were among the plotters two
 or three agents of the British govern
 ment, who kept the London police ad- | vised of every move that was made or proposed by the conspirators from the
 very inception of the plot.
 The police here knew even the names of the men who were selected by the American Revolutionary society to cause explosions in England and on | the continent. It was well known that ever since the defeat of the Irish home
 rule bill the physical force party had been active and steps were at once talk
 en to closely but secretly watch those who it was anticipated would be likely to enter into a conspiracy. Thus the fact of conspiracy was learned, the British agents in the United States
 completely eluding the chief potters in- to the belief that they were bitter ene-
 mics of the English government and | would go to any lengths to secure the | freedom of Ireland.
 | It was learned that the conspirators were in alliance with the fenians, an-
 archists and nihilists, and that they
 were all working together. The nihil- ists. who do not appear to have been | specially interested in freeing Ireland from the British yoke, subscribed funds | and dynamite for the leaders, but only
 on the express condition that "busi-
 ness" should be done on the continent. The visit of the czar and the czarina | to the queen at Balmoral and their subsequent journey to France was deemed by the nihilists to be the most suitable occasions on which to attempt | the lives of their imperial maiesties. The donors to the funds in America,
 however, insisted that blow should be
 first struck at England. Inspector
 Melville recently went to Paris, where, | it Is supposed he conferred with the
 police as to the best means of circum- verting the plans.
 At that time the English papers were not aware of the existence of the plot
 and in their comments on the inspec- tors Journey to Paris they stated while pointing out the existence in London of a lot of anarchist colonies, that the czar would without doubt be far safer
 in England, without any police protec- tion, than he would be in Paris with all the safeguards that might be adopted by the police of that city. The result of the knowledge obtained by the po- lice does not appear to bear out the claims made by the newspapers. It is stated that the conspirators, before | they left the United States were taught how to mix chemicals to form high ex- plosives and the use of clockwork to cause explosives. Their teacher was Q Russian professor. Through him the nihilists and fenians were brought to- Srpthar and if was dua tO his efforts
