London Detectives Claim to Have
Evidence of Another Dyna-
mite Plot. T.
Arrests Of lyman, Bell, Kearney
and Others Considered Most
Important
One of the Released Political
Prisoners Said to Have Fur
nished Information.

LONDON, Sept. l5.-It is generally be.
lieved here that the police, by the ar
rests of Edward Bell at Glasgow OH
Saturday, J. Wallace and John F.
Kearney at Rotterdam, and P. J. lyman.
Number One" at Boulogne sur Mer,
France, have nipped widespread dyna.
mite plot in the bud,
At Rotterdam, in addition to arrest
ing Wallace and Kearney, the police
captured number of Internal machines
and quantity of correspondence which
Is said to incriminate number of peo-
pie and which may result in further
arrests in the near future.
Bell was arraigned at the Central
Police court and after the usual for.
malities had been gone through with.
the prisoner was remanded until Wed.
nesday. The alleged dynamiter, who
seemed cool and unconcerned, was
handcuffed while in court and guarded
by two specially detailed policemen.
Bells papers and other belongings are
In the hands Of the police, who, it is
said, have been shadowing him since
his arrival at Glasgow.
Have Important Information.
The police attach the utmost import
ance to the arrests made, and are OBJ
serving the greatest reticence on the
subject. It appears, however, that the
police officials have been cognizant for
some time past of the existence Of a
fresh dynamite conspiracy. and there Is
no reason to doubt that the information
in the possession of the Scotland Yard
authorities Is Of the most serious char
ter, although 1t is difficult to obtain
definite facts at present.
The Globe, which has close relations
with the government, in q long leading
editorial article, intimates that the ar.
rests were made on information re.
ceived from one of the recently released
Irish political prisoners. 1t is added
that this man has also furnished the
authorities with valuable evidence in
relation to the Clan na Gael and it 10
further stated that the government re.
Gently released several prisoners, so as
not to furnish an exact clue to the
source Of its information.
One OF the most notorious Fenian
leaders, IL is also said. arrived in Great
Britain from the United States several
months ago. and the Globe at that time
published an article about his presence,
pointing ont that there was general
revival of Fenianism in progress. As a
result of these disclosures, the Globe
claims, the Fenian leader alluded tc
hastily returned to the United States.
Found Extensive Cipher Correspondence
A later dispatch from Rotterdam tc
the Associated Press reports that the
men arrested there were in bed when
the detectives entered their room. Sew
eral internal machines were found In
their possession, together with quan
tity of correspondence in cipher, key
to which having been discovered, the
correspondence was read and is said Il
have been plans for dynamite outrages
including an attempt upon the life o,
Queen Victoria.
Feels His Position Keenly.
A dispatch from Boulogne sur Me-
to the Associated Press says that Tynal
was arraigned there before the deputy
police prosecutor. The proceeding
were confined to furnishing evidence O
the arrest and the establishment Of tn,
identify of the prisoner which the latte
fully admitted. = Two Scotland Yart
detectives were present at these for
malities and eventually the prisone
was remanded and taken to the towl
Jail while awaiting the arrival from
London of the documents necessary t,
bring about his extradition.
lyman, who seems to have had n,
idea he was shadowed by English de
tectives from the moment he landed il
Europe, feels his position keenly. HI
told his captors he knew that capita
punishment awaited him If he wa
handed over to the representatives o
the British government.
1t appears that lyman. during hi
continental tour, passed himself off a
queens messenger, or royal courier
and claimed that Bell. who was travel
ing with him. was his secretary Tynal
asserted that they were Ell route t
Copenhagen. with an autograph lette
from Queen Victoria to the czar
Boasted Too Much.
lyman. according to Scotland Var
men, has been at Boulogne sur Mer fo
more than week, and was almost con
stantly drunk and boasting Of the re
venge he would wreak when his plan
were perfected. The Scotland Var
official referred to was unable to sa
whether the prisoner would be brough
to England. as the Off nse Of possessin
explosives was committed outside OF th
British empire.
