I NIPPED A PLOT IN THE BUD England is Elated Over the Capture of a Band of Conspirators. ALLEGED DYNAMITER UNCONCERNED 1'ollcc Cnptnrc n llntch of Incrlnil- nntliiir Correspondence nnil a ot Infernal Miu-lilneN. t'Copyrlftht ' , 1S96 , by the Arnoclnled Press. ) LONDON , Sept. ! . It is believed here that the police , by the arrests ot Cdward Bell at Glasgow on Saturday , J. Wallace and John F. Kearney at Rotterdam and P. J. If T. Tynan , ( "No. 1" at Boulogne-sur-Mcr , | t Franco , have nipped a widespread dynamite plot In the bud. At Rotterdam , In addition to arresting Wallace and Kearney , the police captured a number of Infernal machines and a quantity of correspondence which Is said to Incrimi nate a number of people and which may re svlt In further arrests In the near future. Bell was arraigned at the central police court today and after the usual formalities had been gene through with , the prisoner was remanded until Wednesday next. The alleged djnamltcr , who seemed cool nnd un concerned , was handcuffed while In court nnd guarded by two especially detailed po Ilcomcn. Boll is about 28 years of age , of medium build , slim , clean-shaven and of sallow completion. Ho were a soft bat and was otherwise dressed as an American gentleman. The people at the hotel where Bell had stopped say that he was always tclf-absorbcd and paid little attention to his follow guctts Ills peculiar manner made an unfavorable Impression upon the propri etors of the hotel , but In splto of this , they say they h.ivo no complaint to make regard ing his behavior , and the at rest ot their guest was a sin prise to them The prlhoner has very little to. say about his being taken Into custody. The only In formation which he has thus far vouchsafed , Is that he Is not a British subject. Bell'b papers and other pioperty arc In the hands of the police , who It Is said , have been shad- o'Vlng him since his arrival at Glasgow , The police attach the utmost Importance t the aritsts made and are observing the greatest rotlcenco on the subject. It ap pears , however , that the police officials nnvo been cognizant for some time past of the existence of a fresh dynamite conspiracy and there Is no reasonable doubt that the 4Jnforimtlon In the possession of the Scotland Yard authorities Is of the utmost serious character , although It Is difficult to obtain definite facts nt present. PRISONER TURNS INFORMER. The Globe , which lias close lelatlons with the government , In a long leading editorial article this afternoon. Intimates that the arrests were made on information received from one of thu icccntly released Iilsli polit ical prisoners. It Is added that this man has also furnlfcbcd the authorities with valuable evidence In relation to the Clan-na-Gael , and it Is further stated that the government re cently reloaded several prisoners so as not to furnish an extra clew to the bourco of Its information One of the most notorious Fenian leaders. It Is also said , arrived In Great Britain from tbe United States several months ago and the Globe nt that time published an aiticlo about his presence , pointing out that there was a general revival of runlanlsm In prog- , ress. As a result of these disclosures , the Globe claims , the Fenian leader alluded to hastily returned to the United States. Incidentally It was the Globe which first proclaimed the Identity of the second man arrested at Rotterdam as being John r Kearney of Now York , who Is charged with having been concerned In blowing up the Glasgow gas works In 1892 , a deed for which Terence McDermott and others are now serv ing sentences of Imprisonment for life In Portland prison. Keaincy escaped to New- York and it was said at the time- that his escape was winked at by the authorities. It Is further alleged that It was Kearnuy who , under the pretense of friendship , led Phelan Into the trap when Short , the butcher , nearly stabbed Phelan ot Kansas City to death In O'Donnovun Rossa's office In Chambers street , Now York , Kearney may now be charged with tbo Glasgow outrage us well as with participating In the alleged present movement. A dispatch from Boulogne-sur-Mcr , to the Associated press says that Tynan was ar raigned there this morning before the dep uty police prosecutor. Tlys proceedings were confined to furnishing evidence of the ar rest and the establishment of the Identity ot the prlsonor , which the lotted fully ad mitted. The Scotland Yard detectives were present at these formilltles and , eventually , p * the prisoner was remanded and taken to the town Jail , while awaiting the arrival from London of the documents necessary to bring about his extradition. Tynan , who seems to have no Idea that ho was shadowed by English detectives from the moment ho landed In Europe , feels his position keenly. He told his captors ho know that capital punishment awaited him 1' ho was handed over to the representatives of the British government. It appears that Tynan during bis continental tour passed himself as a queen's messenger , or royal courier , and claimed that Bell , who was traveling with him , was his secretary Tynan assorted that they were cnroule to Copenhagen with un autograph letter from Queen Victoria. HAD PLENTY OF FUNDS. During his stay at Boulgno-sur-Mer , Tjnan showed every evidence of being In possession of plenty of money nnd of hav ing largo funds to draw upon. Ho lived well and his staple beverage was cham pagne , according to one account of the affair The Globe's advices from Boulogne-sur- Mor say that Tynan's dlsgulso was almost complete ) . Ho had shaved off his beard and had otherwise changed his appearance. The Olobo correspondent adds ; "I knew him at Kingston In 1889 , and saw him at New York In 1894. Ho Is now minus his whis kers and his moustache Is horribly painted black. He Is attired In n light tweed suit , distinctly loud , and llko all Irishmen of his kind. It was his tendency to brag aloud , which led to his arrest. "It wiia at first thought that Tynan was connected with the going to Paris ot anar chists who contemplated an upheaval vvhllo the czar Is In Paris. Bell , further particulars how , also had plenty of money In his pock ets when arrested , but no explosives were found in bis room. At his hotel , Bell do- jcrlhed himself us an American tourist ; ho looked the part to perfection. The police of Glasgow received a telegram from Scotland Yard liibtructlng them to fol low Bell every where , and In consequence a close watch was sent over him Tour hours later Bell , the police reported , received a telegram from Tynan giving the latter's ad dress and the address of other man taken Into custody. When Bell was arnsted he reasserted that ho was on American tourist , The papers found upon Bt'll Include docu- incuts relative to the three other men In the hands of the police on ( he charge which led to his arrest. The Scotland Yard man In an Interview publicUed In the Sun this afternoon said the authorities for many months have been aware- that a number of the most reckless and desperate dynamiters in the Untcd State * had been contemplating a raid on English centers , particularly on London , Therefore , the official added , vigilance was renewed , both In Great Britain and In America. Several of the alleged conrplra- tors succeeded In evading the detectives and reached different parts of Europe. They were , It it claimed , provided with an abund ance of money , and lived luxuriously nt hotel * on the continent. They did not make an effort to dlsgulso the character ot their mission. According to the Scotland Yaid men Tynan has been at Bologne-iur-Mer for moro than a week end was almost con- , , , statitly drunk and boasting nf tbe rerengo be would vrtak when his plans were per fected. Cfho ScotUaa Yard official referred to was unable to Kay whether the prisoners would bo brought to England , as the offense , of purchasing explosives was committed outside - side of the British empire. PLOTTED AGAINST THE CZAR. A later dispatch to the Associated press savs that from Information In the possession of police of the city there Is a strong sus picion that the conspirators were planning an outbreak to occur while the crar and czarina vlultcd the queen at Balmoral. U Is added that all the suspects are known to have purchased materials for the manu facture of bombs. Bell Is also alleged to have been drinking heavily. Ho Is reported to be most nervous now and to be constantly calling for whisky. He Is being attended by a physician , A dispatch to the Associated press from Antwerp stales that the two Irish Fenians said to bo naturalized American citizens arrived there three weeks ago and rented a house In the suburb of Berchen. On Sat urday , the dispatch continues , the English detectives who had been watching them since their arrival to Antwerp , their de parture from the United States having been telegraphed to the British authorities , the house was surrounded by Belgian police. But when the building was entered It wan found that Its occupants were gone A laboratory , however , was discovered , fully fitted with appliances and materials for the manufacture of bombs and explosives. The dispatch also Intimates that one of thcso men has already served a term of ten 3 ears Imprisonment for complicity In dyna mite outiages. The Scotland Yard authori ties bellovo that the men referred to In the Antwerp dispatch are tne two persons ar rested at Rotterdam , and Incidentally , It Is now alleged that the men arrested at Rot terdam are Kearney and Hlnes and not Wal lace. Dlspatchca received by the Associated Press from Brussels today say that informa tion obtained there from reliable sources In dicates that the dynamiters whose laboratory was discovered at Antwerp were not Fenians but anacblsts whoso aim was dlrectci against the czar and It Is known that the police of Antwerp were Informed by the Scotland Yard authorities that a plot was In preparation to attempt to assassinate the czar , hence the discovery of the bomb lab oratory at Antwerp. Many bombs , It appears had already been made , and the police know that one ot the conspirators , who Is believer to have fled to Brcslau , has several Inferna' machines with him. A later dispatch from Rotterdam to the Associated press reports that the men arrested there were In bci when detectives entered their room. Many Infernal machines were found In their pos session together with n quantity of corre spondence In cipher , a key to which has been discovered. The correspondence was rcat and It is said to have been plans for dynn- mlto outrages Including an attempt upon the Ufa of Qteen Victoria. PLANS OF THE PLOTTERS. A semi-official communication upon the subject of the recent an eats of alleged dy namite conspirators was Issued this after noon. It sajs : "There has been within the full knowledge of the Scotland Yard offi lals for some time past a gang of dcspera docs busily engaged In America In prepar ing the ramifications for an extensiveam diabolical plot to perpetrate a dynamite outrage In this country and establish a reign of terror. Chief Inspector Melville who has played so prominent a part in tracing and arresting Fenians , has been the head of the Scotland Yard arrangements for checkmating the present plans of the conspirators. Gradually and quietly a complete pleto network was drawn around the plot ters , and the fact being known that thej were In Intlmato communication with Hus & ! an nihilists In the United States cnablei the police to pursue , Investigate and dls cover what Is believed to be absolute evl dence that one of the most recent developments monts of the scheme aimed at an outrage on the czar on the occasion of his visit to England. The prime- movers were Fenians In America , and when the plot had been carried as far as possible there , Tynan nnd their chief agents were dispatched to Eu rope to consummate tbe designs adopted Every precaution was taken In shipping them separately and by dlfforent routes The emissaries of Scotland Yard , however dogged their every movement. "Tho police hero now admit that the- man arrested at Rotterdam , whose name was first given as Wallace , Is , In fact , John F Kearney of New York. Edward Bell , when arrested at Glasgow , had 1GO In his purse In connection with the arrest of Tynan at Boulogne , this man's relatives are being shadowed at Kingston. " The Boml-ofllclal communication then deals with the arrests and capture of all the ap pliances , rtocurrents , etc. and continued. "II was arranged that Bell should go to Glasgow to superintend a series of outrages In Scot land , the explosives necessary being sent fr'om Belgium as required. Bell had In his pockets between 300 and 400 ( $1,500 and $2,000) ) and American letters of credit. Do- vaney , McCulloch and .McCand , three re leased dynamiters who are now In Glasgow , have all tyecn closely shadowed slnco they were released from prison. In 1895 McCand visited America. It Is considered probable that Bell will soon bo removed from Glasgow to London. COMPLAINS OF THE PARDONS. The Times this morning publishes a long letter from H. II. Howorth , complaining of the release of the Irish political prisoners He points out that statistics show that mortality In ' lunacy of prisons Is less than people outs'ldo of them and asks "Is the madness real or feigned ? " Continuing ho sa > s : "As n newspaper openly said , the case Is the Hibernians are acting. " The home secretary will allow that It Is unwise to let a vv lid , Irish screech go from ono end of the land to the other about the Inhumanity of English Justice and It Is un wise to er.courago the outraged feeling of Americans toward Great Britain on the ground that we treat our prisoners with bar barity. In conclusion Mr. Howorth asks the government to make a plain statement of facts relative to the release of the Irish polit ical urlsoners. A dispatch from Brussels to the Associ ated press shows that there was a woman connected with the arrested conspirators The house at Bcrchcm , the suburb of Ant werp , vv'hcro the police found a laboratory fitted with materials and appliances for the manufacture of bombs and explosives , was hired by a woman and the pollco are now searching for her. The pollco also found finger and foot Ira- prints upon the clay usrd by the bomb mak ers In fashioning the molds for the bombs , It Is believed that this fact will serve to Identify the men who rented the house and connect the right person with this feature of tlio great conspiracy. wr.vi.nu SAYS uu nin NOT SAY so.

Maximo Gomez Is understood to bo camped at Guaslmasde Agr.imonto , about thirty-six miles from Puerto Principe , He Is organiz ing a strong cavalry force , and Is credited with the Intention of making a second raid westward , The Insurgents have burned the Lopez tobacco plantation , situated near Arlenu'sla , province of Plnar del Rio , Thu property dr tra > ed was valued at $150,000 , The government has authorl/ed Joseph A.

SPAIN HAS YIELDED NOTHING United States' Demand in the Competitor Cases Not Granted. PRISONERS WILL GO BACK TO HAVANA Supreme Court of Nntnl Aiipcnln the rirnt hentenec mill KeiiiiinilH the Aiuerl- CIIIIH for .Nert Trlulfi. . ( Copyrlsht , 1F96 , by Press Publishing Company. ] LONDON , Sept. 14. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) My own di rect Information from authoritative sources In Spain would show that the statement pub llshed hero from Washington today , crcdltetl to the Herald , that the Spanish government agrees to the arraignment before a civil court of the Americans captured on board the Competitor , Is quite wrong. Spain , In fact , has notified our State department thai the supreme court of naval appeals has quashed the Cuban sentence of the Compctt tor prisoners , and sent the alleged offenders for n new trial at Havana before an ordi nary naval court martial. Moreover , corrc spondcnco Is still being exchanged between the two governments , Secretary Olnry ob jecting to the second indictment of the men captured on the Competitor and already tried as likely to end In severe sentences on the second trial. The Spanish govern ment Is vigorously gathering evidence to make claims for damages similar to the Ala bama claims from the United States. The World representative had an Inter view tonight with a Scotland Yard official Intimately connected with the unraveling of the latest dynamite plot , who could nol permit the publication ot his name. He said : TYNAN GAVE HIMSELF AWAY. "Tynan and his accomplices were at our mercy from the Instant they landed In Eu rope. We had full Information from New York of nil their projects before they started. But even had we not been fore warned Tynan's proceedings on the con tinent would have attracted suspicion. Ho was very flush with money and very fond o : champagne , with the result that wherever ho met any English speaking person he Indulged In violent abuse of England and dark hints of his deadly mission , together with thinly \elled allusions to his own Identity. He and Boll , who has been ar rested In Glasgow , spent a week In Paris consoitlng openly with all known Fenlar extremists there , whom they entertained it : regal stjle , never displaying the least sus picion of being watched , so the work of our officers In shadowing them was mere child's play. Bell was mote reserved than Tynan whoso swagger ho tried to restrain , Bel Is a typical fanatic , but Tynan Impressec our men as being what they call a 'bounder. Just fancy , when Boll was In Glasgow he cot responded In the ordinary way through the post with Tynan on the continent. These letters "were , of couise , at the mercy of the British authorities , who thus obtained ful" Information of the progress of the conspiracy "Tynan has been arrested formally on a warrant issued against him In 1882 for com plicity In the Phoenix park murder conspi racy , but this is a mere temporary expe dient , as another warrant has now been Issued by the English government on the charge of conspiring to cause dynamite ex plosions In this country , and application for extradition will bo made on the latter war rant. EXPECTS AMERICAN JNTERVENTION. "Wo anticipate the extradition proceedings will be prolonged as the United States gov ernment Is certain to interview all the men arrested claiming American citizenship In fact , Tynan has already applied for pro tection to the American ambassador at Paris Our belief Is that extradition will be grantee ! and Tynan will be tiled In this country , not for the Pheonlx park crime , but on the specific charges on which extradition Is granted. I know there are apparently con siderable legal obstacles to securing his extradition , but our government officials are confident of overcoming them. "The disclosure of the arrests made was rather premature , resulting In the fiustra- tlng of our plai.s for seizing the fifth man who took charge of the laboratory of ex plosives near Antwerp In the absence of Kearney and Halnes at Rotterdam. They went to Rotteidam to meet two more ac complices , expected from New York , who will also bo secured by us on their arrival If they possess any Incriminating document * or materials with them. Wo ha\e no evi dence whatever supporting the theory started In the press of these men having a plot against the czar. The object of the conspirators was simply to repeat the explosions of 1882-3 In England , In the hope of causing the loss of llfo and tcriorl lng the public mind. If Tynan Is extradited I can promise you a most sensational trial , Involving revelations concerning supporters of the extreme policy who have never before been suspected. Bell will. In any case , bo brought to trial , but if the other three men are sent over from the continent , all four will bo ar raigned at Old Bailey , London , together. " SENSATION IN ENGLAND INTENSE. The sensation caused In England by these arrests Is Intense and universal. It has revived much of the former anti-Irish feelIng - Ing among the masses , which had been slum bering during the last few years. Polit ically , this new development It Is held will be most awkward for the Redmonites , who have been playing assiduously to the violent section of the Fenians , and must now either denounce them or forfeit the suppoit of the tory-unlonlst party. Throughout Ireland the disclosure of the new dynamite plot has oc casioned utter amazement , as such methods were believed to be a thing of the past. BALLARD SMITH. SI'Al.V YIUM1S TO UXCLI3 SAM. l'"orin L Aiiiioiineeinrnt Ilvnccteil by Xext Mull from Mudrlil. NEW YORK , Sept. 14. A special to the Herald from Washington says : The Spanish government has yielded to tbe demands of the United States for a trial by a civil court of the Competitor prisoners. Formal an nouncement is expected by the next mall from Minister Taylor In Madrid. Secretary Olney has Insisted from the first that the men were Irregularly tried , and In violation of express treaty stipulations , Ilo requested a rctrlal , not by way of favor , but as a matter of right , and In answer to Inquiries from members of the senate com mittee on foreign relations , he emphatically stated that the administration would never submit to the carrying out of the sentence of the summary court martial , U Is a matter of considerable relief to tin authorities here to know that Spain has found It expedient to comply with tbe de mands of the United States In regard to these men. For some time past It has been considered ono ot the- most troublesome questions lu dlsputo between the two countries. It Is understood that this action will be a Great disappointment to Captain General U'tjlcr and other Spaniards , who were anxious for the execution of the men as an example for others engaged In filibustering , but It Is hoped that time has served to allay the bitter feeling which existed In Spanish quarters when the men were captured.

London Times IIolIevoN the Irreeoii- ellulilex Are Irreeoncllnhlu .Still. LONDON , Sept. 15. The Times has an editorial this morning coiiiint'iiUnfj at lengthen on the arrest at Boulogne , ' , Glasgow , and Rotterdam of persons suspected of complicity In a dynamite plot in the course of which It says : "Unless the police have commluGc a succession of incredible blunders we are In tbe presence of a conspiracy of tlie same type as that for which Dr. Gallagher was sentenced. As we have all along contended , the irreconcllables are Irreconcilable still and still remain murderous enough In their Intent and strong enough In numbeds to organize and pay for complicated and costly conspiracies against Great Britain. "The lessons to be drawn arc plain enough , and the nation may be left to ilr.iv , them for Itself at the moment John Daly Is enjoying triumphant receptions from his fellow epuntrj'men. ' Dr. Speu e Watson president of the Society of the Friends ol Russian Freedom , discredits the notion ol that fenlan and nihilist alliance. On the whole , we arc Inclined to agree with him. Our Brussels correspondent hears that the Antwerp bomb factory has cosmopolitan alms , but there does not appear much evi dence to support this view. " The Chronicle , In Its editorial on the sub ject , points out that the new conspiracy has no root In Ireland and It Is not even sug gested by the police that the persons ar rested have any connection with any organ Izatlon , open or secret. "The plot has been hatched , " continues tbo Chronicle , "In the drinking saloons of New York , and so openly and carelessly that every detail was known to the pollco from the Inception of the scheme. They might as well have pro claimed the plot from tha housetops. It Is all very strange and we want moro light. ' A Brussels dispatch to the Chronicle says Two thousand pounds sterling was found upon the persons arrested at Rerchem ( the suburb of Antwerp where the dynamite factory was situated ) . The pollco suspect fifteen other persons In various European capitals of complicity with the Berchem factory. "Later Information points to an attempt upon the life of the czar having been planned at Breslau , " The correspondent of the Chronicle * at Paris says in a dispatch to the paper ; "Tynan has been a familiar figure hero off and on for a decade. I have seen him re peatedly , and I canno ( bring myself to bellovo that his melodramatic capture might not have been effected years ago " The Dally News' Paris correspondent says- "M.

( CopjrlBM , HJfi. by the Afsoclntj Tttet ) CONSTANTINOPLE , Sept. 13. ( Via Sofia , Hulgarla , Sept. 14. ) There Is little or no change In the political situation here and It Is believed that the powers \\lll not take action Immediately In the case o Sultan Abdul Humid , a great deal depend Ing upon the result of the czar's approaching visit to Balmoral. According to the palace officials , the audience \\hlch Sir Philip Currle , the Urltlsh ambassador , had with the sultan on Friday last , resulted In convincing his majesty that the feeling ngalnst him li Grewt Britain Is much more Intense than hoer or his advisers have realized , and Itas Intimated to him that Great Britain , It certain eventualities , might ho compelled to take action , Independent of other powers , li prov eating further disturbances here. In spite of this assurance , It Is noticeable that there Is a renewal of serious anxlctj among tha foreign portion of the population that another outbreak will occur at a not distant date. The British vessels carrying Armenian refugcts are guarded by the British warship Dryad while In these waters , In order to prevent the arrest of their passengers bj the Turkish authorities. The Drjad'a com mander has received explicit Instructions from the British ambassador to resist anj Interference with the rights of Brltlsli vessels on the high seas. The lequesi of the Roumanian authorities to permit Armenian refugees to land In Roumanla has created a very bad Impression In European circles , and may lead to serious complications later on. The Joint commission of Europeans and Turks appointed to Inquire Into the rcccat massacres and their origin held Its prelimi nary meeting on Saturday , but the fact that most of the Armenians who could furnish the necessary evidence to place blame where It belongs have been killed , Impiis- oned or banished , leaves the commission little - tlo else to work upon than the Turkish police ofllclcls , whose evidence literally amounts to nothing at all. But the work of the commission , happily , has been fore stalled by the embassies , where all the evi dence necessary to conclusively prove that the massacres were offlclally planned and authorized from the palace has been col lected and submitted to the governments of the six powers It Is stated that the Softas had planned a manifestation In the vicinity of thp Ylldlr palace upon the occasion of the Selamnlk. A number of Mussulmans , It Is added , have been arrested In consequence. The pre cautions adopted to guard the pilaco against attack were greatly Increased In consequence but no manifestation occurred. 1,1 HUNG CIIAAG SAILS KOIl I1OMK.

Judge Sanborn o the United States circuit court of appeals today filed a number of opinions , the mos Important being the Hartman , or famous Section 30 case , a suit Involving very vnlua bio Minnesota mineral lands. The case was an appeal from a decree sustaining a de murrer to a bill In equity and dismissing the bill. Emit Hartman , appellant , sued James II. Warran and others holding title to part of the famous section 30. alleging that title granted Warran by the Unltet States , December 11 1894 , was through er ror of law by the Land department officials and that such title should ha\o been given to Hartman. AVarran's title , entered In ISSfi , was based on his claim of mixed In dian parentage , which entitles him to eighty acres under the provisions of the treaty ol 1ST4. Hartman applied to the Dilluth lam1 office In 1SS9 to enter this land with Porter- field warrants Issued under act of congress and approved April 11 , I860. The applica tion was rejected and Hartman appealed to the United States land commissioner , who upheld his bllboidlimtes nud dismissed the application to contest The secretary of the Interior rc\ersed the decision In so far that he ordered the local land officers to Investi gate Hartman's case further. This was done and the decision was adveise and , the sec retary of the Interior approving such deci sion , Hartman appealed to the courts and the appellate court today sustained tinWar - ran title , holding that the Indian scrip had been offered and the land entered with II prior to Hartman's application for It , ami that the question of priority settled the whole case. The famous section 30 has been fought over for several years and contains some of the most valuable iron ore In the .world. STANI.KY COL.VrVh III3AVY TA\Kb.

Scores of hacks and carriages were In commission to carry tha old and lame voters to thu polling places and many persons from other states also came homo to vote. Thu democratic organisation was nearly as good. There were only n few local con- csts to arotiso factional feuds , and order was preserved at the polls throughout tha state without difficulty.
