AT DUBLIN CASTLE. A':
OUTRAGE
the end of last week an explosion took place in Dublin Castle, the result of a malicious outrage. Considerable damage was done to one apart
ment, but fortunately no personal injury was sustained by any one of the many persons who were about the place at the time. The scene of the explosion was a room on the right hand side of the archway, looking from the Lower Castle yard, and immediately beneath the Council Chamber. It is known as Room 15 , and is at present temporarily occupied by Mr. Cullinane, one of the principal officials in the Treasury Department- During the past six months a large number of workmen have been engaged making extensive alterations and repairs in this range of buildings. The basement is composed entirely of vaults, which are used for the storage of documents and files. All these vaults are under extensive repair. Ceilings have been stripped and recovered, the archways strengthened and widened, and the floors relaid. It was decided not to use the vault in which the explosive was placed. Next to this vault, however, is one in which the men were, and have been for some days, working. It is filled at the present moment with a scaffold placed on trestles for the purpose of enabling the men to reach the ceiling. Between this vault and the one under Mr. Cullinane’s room was a small aperture at the top of the wall about twelve inches square, and left obviously for ventilation. Through this aperture some explosive material, the nature of which has not been ascertained, was placed and left beneath the floor of Mr. Cullinane’s room. At the time the explosion occurred, Mr. Cullinane was in Sir West Ridgeway’s office. Mr. Jackson (the Chief Secretary) was not in his office, but he arrived immediately after the outrage for the purpose of attending the meeting of the Privy Council, to be held at three o’clock. Sir William Kaye and Sir West Ridgeway describe the sound of the explosion as resembling that of a field piece, and their first impression was that some portion of the scaffolding outside the central building had fallen. In a few moments one of the messengers ran in to report that Mr. Cullinane’s room had been completely wrecked. The floor at the spot where Mr.

Cullinane usually sat, to the right hand side of the fireplace, immediately over the aperture in the vault below, was completely blown away and the carpet and boards scattered about the room. The blowing up of the flooring extended across to the side wall next the archway. Next to the floor the windows suffered most. They were entirely shatteied, the yards outside being strewn with glass and portions of the sashes, while other fragments are hanging by the blind and window cords. The havoc among the furniture was also very great. It was a most fortunate circumstance that Mr. Cullinane was absent from the room, otherwise he would undoubtedly have been seriously injured. No discoveries have been made.
The Tim es' correspondent at Constanti-
e n g l a n d a n d nople has written that Egyptian matters have e g y p t . of late much occupied the Sultan’s attention.
Recognizing the full weight of the salutary reforms introduced into Egypt by the English occupation, and her right to protect her important national interests in the Suez Canal, his Majesty is understood to be anxious that some understanding should be arrived at between the Porte and Great Britain without interference from outside parties. In that event the rights of other foreign powers protected by treaties would not be lost sight of. The consequent reciprocal duty devolving upon Turkey and England to provide full protection for their own joint interests in the country without prejudice to those of others less intimately and directly concerned in the question would be the main object in view.
The Procurator Fiscal, says a dispatch u n it e d Hs t a t e s from ValParaiso>has concluded his review of
AND c h i l i . the evidence given before the Court of In
quiry into the attack upon the sailors of the
B a lt im o re . He finds that Rodriguez, Gomez, and Azumada, three of the rioteis, are guilty of stabbing American sailors, but that the evidence is not strong enough to show that the wounds inflicted by the prisoners caused the deaths of the men Riggin and Turnbull. The Procurator Fiscal finds Davidson, a sailor of the B a lt im o re, guilty of assaulting a Chilian sailor, and as to the charge against the negro Cortez, he says more data are required. After declaring that it only remains now for Judge Foster to pass sentence upon the three first-named rioters, the Procurator concludes by stating that it is impossible to determine the person who fired the shot which killed Riggin. It is said that the Chilian Government has ordered Señor Montt to offer full and complete satisfaction to the United States.
