DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.

I London, Dec. 25. A portion of the Dublin detective office has been injured by the explosion of a dynamite bomb. Constable Sinnott was killed, the body being horribly mutilated. The front of the building was wrecked. The detective office, the scene of the dynamite outrage, adjoins Dublin Castle. Sinnott kicked the explosive which was lying on the pathway, thereby partly saving the building. The library of Mr J. Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, which surmounted the detective office, was shattered by the explosion. R.eBV« forcements of police are being sent J&London, and the Government .• ' lfl are now clogeiy guarded. -uiidmgs The bow* , „ A +? ec -- 2 ?- « - was placed under the window . room where twenty persons were sleeping. It exploded with terrific foi'ce, tore up the pavement, and cracked the walls of the building. Constable Sinnot's right leg and arm were torn from his body, the boot being found a hundred yards away, while one of his fingers was discovered in the Chief Secretary's library. (Several detectives who were sleeping on the premises had a narrow escape. The police and press believe that the outrage was committed because of Mr Morley's refusal to release Daly, who is in custody on a charge of Feuianism. Detective Green declares that as he entered the depot he saw a brown-paper parcel under the window beside what he imagined to be a burning cigar and the explosion occurred a moment afterwards. The detective office abuts on Dublin Castle, and is under Mr Morley's library. The Opposition press warn the Government that the outrage is the direct result of their policy of concession, and declare that it is impossible to placate the Irish. The whole of Dublin is alarmed over the recent outrage. Four persons in the vicinity of the detective buildings at the time of the explosion were found in au unconscious condition, and were removed to the hospital, where they recovered. The Times, referring to the outrage, says that it is a striking commentary on Mr Morley's latest act of homage to his masters. The Chronicle characterises it as a desperate and devilish attempt to intimidate the public. The Standard considers that the outrage should convince Mr Morley of the futility of attempting to concilate the Irish. The Daily News believes that the split of Irish parties will lead to the increasing of secret societies aud will encourage criminal acts. The members of the National Federation League denounce in strong terms the outrage committed in Dublin as a barbarous murder.
