New York. May i0.-Thc discovery
yesterday afternoon of an ingcniously
constructed infcrnl machine. continuing
100 pounds of dynamite In haif-pound
sticks and an electrically operated
mechanism. on the pier OF the Cunnrd
steamship line. frustrated what is
believed to have been plot to sink
the steamship umbria. which sailed Mt
o'clock, when she was twenty-four
hours out Mt sea.
A letter received at police headquar-
ters less than two hours before the
umbria sailed revealed the presence OF
the internal machine. This letter ap-
pears to have been written by wom-
an OF education. The handwriting is
fine and cultured. II was signed. but
the police refused to give out the
name.
At the time the Internal machine
was discovered the pier OF the Cunard
line was crowded with prospective pas
sengers and their friends. Almost a
panic ensued when they were ordered
from the pier before the sinister-look-
Ing box was removed from its position
alongside the gangway leading to the
second cabin.
After the Internal machine had been
thoroughly soaked in the Hudson river
n careful inspection made by Superin-
tendent Murray of the bureau of COM
bustibles and explosives. showed that
the powder fuse connecting the light
ing the lighting device with the case
of dynamite had been actually ignited
and that its end had been charred.
The 200 half-pound sticks of dyna-
mite were encased in boxes. which also
held three sets of clockwork mechan-
ism, two dry storage electric batteries
and quantity of loose gun cotton and
gunpowder. The mechanism was click
ing noisily when box lid was thrown
back.
Chief Murray of the bureau of COM
bustibles declared that 1t was the most
perfect Internal machine he had ever
seen or heard about. Had it gone off.
he said, it would have blown the Um-
bria out of the water. Nothing but
its discovery on the pier, he declared,
would have prevented the fiendish pur-
pose of it's constructors from having
been carried out. There was no name
or consignment mark on the trunk
shaped box which held the machine.
1t was taken to the Cunard line pier
yesterday afternoon by two men sup
posed to be Italians.

Test of a Warship.

Paris, May 11.-One of the most dar-
ing experiments in naval annals in
times of peace will be carried out at
Brest within the next few months. This
is nothing less than the firing of a shell

Suffren, chosen as the target.
The shell will be fired from 3o5-

sena at 400 metres Q,312 feeD. The
shell. of course, is not explosive, the

DYNAMITE PLOT TO DESTROY
CUNARD STEAMSHIP UMBRIA

This is the letter of warning ad-
dressed to Commissioner Greene:
The box with handles IL among the
trunks for the steamer umbr!a.
Dear Sir-The Malta grccts you
and wishes you well. At the Cunard
dock Is n box containing 100 pounds
of dynamite. Inside also Ia machine
that. properly set. can explode the
stun at any time within ihirty-siS
hours.
THE society has declared war
against England and has ordered the
destruction OF every steamer lying tho
British flag sailing out OF New YORK
harbor. The undersigned received or
ders to begin operations by sinking the
Oceanic. but 80 many women and chill
dren took passage on that boat that
the society's plans were changed ut
the last minute.
THE machine in the box. the first
made. and crude affair. is inclosed
simply to show how easy II is to sink
steamer and to convince those in
terested that the society is not making
idle threats. The society has under
taken to clear New York harbor OF
British ships. and II will succeed.
THE reason for this movement the
society does not wish TO disclose. Suf-
flee II to say that the society, to protect
itself, must carry the war into the enc
my's country. 1t proposes to wage the
war as fiercely us 1t knows how.
This is the society's first and last
warning. and those who propose TO pat
ronize British steamers must take their
chance In the future.
THE society asks and gives no quar-
ter. so. lay onb lay on, Macduff, and
damned be he that cries hold. enough.
''P1ETRO DE MARTINI.
"P. S.-The battery is not attached.
fuse is without caps and lighter not
set. Consequently there is no danger
in handling the box"
Inspector George McClusky of the
detective bureau said tonight:
Il am satisfied that this is not the
work of the Malta. or any other secret
society. The fact that the letter re-
ceived at headquarters is undoubtedly
the work of an intelligent person and
that the machine itself is the product
of some intelligent person. may mean
that both were the work of one. All
night we have been working on the as
sumption that it was dynamite that
the box contained. Inspector Murray
of the bureau of combustibles reported
to me that it was dynamite"
