'Tile general belief ts"Thst the spocial correspondents have indulged in strictures upon the breaking of the British aquaro by the Arabs, and they may have given some additional facta that would show the British troops to be in a more dangerous plight than is now supposed. In this case the dispatches would certainly be held back for revision in pursuance of the long established usage of the war office of withholding disagreeable details at first and allowing them to leak oat slowly so as to weaken their offset. Borne of tho blunders mode by the papers in presenting the news are remarkable. The condensation of Gen. Wolseley's report contain discrepancies which no soldier of Gen. Wolseley,8 literary skill could have been guilty of in the original dispatch."

Conspirators to Justice. HttW Yoric, Jan. 28. the head of a | column in to-day's World is a skull ovor a pair at crossbones, witli certain mysterious words, figures and mottoes in Latin and French surrounding them. Tfcfe following is given irfl explanation: The rMt attempt to  sinate Capt. Thomas A. Phelan, of Kansas , City, in the office of O'Donovan Roesa, has started a number of theories as to the motive that impelled such a dastardly act, the orders ! and by whom issued for disciplining a refractory dynamiter and the ramifications of the secret order by whom issued. The above : cut illustrates, it is alleged, how a solemn warning of approaching disaster was communicated to a iran from Connecticut* now supposed to be dead. Capt. Phelan did not receive a warning of this kind, but was courteously invited to visit this city and explain a certain interview with a Kansas City reporter. He had no misgivings, promptly came here, and without a word of warning was set upon and butchered, receiving eleven stabs in the head, breast, and arms, similar In character to those which ended the life of J Cavendish and -.Butfri- in —  Park, Dublin. Capt. Phelan was supposed to bo in a dying condition when he reached Chambere Street hospital, but thanks to a rugged  strong will power, good medical attendance and careful nursing he is in a fair way to recover. Yesterday he was partially dressed and sat up in a chair for a few hours, conversing freely with his wife and daughter, who have been his almost constant attendants for two weeks. He was in good spirits when a World representative visited him, and extending his right hand he greeted the visitor warmly and cheerfully. "You had a close call, ITomj" was fbfe lint salutation, to which ho responded: 14When I reached here on the day I was assaulted I was cold and unconscious. The doctors had such slight hopes of my recovery that they placed me on a slab in a large room- and gave me a hot air application as ft sort of hopeless en- : dsavor to waiadne ttkrlife. I have rallied, however, beyond their most sanguine expectations, audi hope froon to be able to prosecute the man who stabbed WRnd the men who set him on." faWy lutu Hmi u i MujwsHtwMla) iliut brsaeh of the case was less successful in its development than the state attorney expected it to be. The testimony of Mr. Aumack, for whose place Wain Wright started to work on the morning of his disappearance, tliat his inquiry at his place for him, was to have been supplemented by evidence that the family of Rockwell knew on Saturday that he had the engagement at Aumack's. Witnesses by ♦horn this was to have been proved were ■worn in the persons of Joseph Becker and Elias Naylor. It was at Naylor's saloon that t}ie engagement between Aumack and Wainbright was made. Both witnesses testified to having seen Rockwell there at the tune the engagement was made, but neither could say mat Rockwell or either of Wain Wright's sons* had heard the conversation. The knowledge of the engagement was brought home to tbem, however, by the testimony of Miller Chamberlain, om of the searching party, through whose efforts the body of the murdered man was.-discovered in Cedar Creek. Miller said that he heard that Wainwright was missing on Wednesday evening. He went to Wain wri^fctfs1 eabm late at ni&ht. Mary answered his knock at the door.

The distress is greUt among the people of these, afflicted villages. Distress of the People. voyage between America and Europe would be reduced to three days, and steamships would only be out of sight of land for one complete day. The distance from Quebec to the Labrador coast would be about 800 miles, and this route would have an advantage over the proposed Canadian route to Europe, via Newfoundland, is it would not require a ferry; and it is itated to be shorter than the Newfoundland rente, for, although the moat eastern shore of Newfoundland seems in the maps to be nearer to Europo than any points an the Labrador coast, it is thought that this is qnly apparent owing to the incorrect geography of this Muntry. By travelling 800 miles northeast of Quebec, a point of land would be reached half as ftw from Liverpool as New York is. A man could get into a palace car at N&vr York or Boston, Monday morning, take the European steamer on the Labrador coast Tuesday evening, and reach Liverpool Friday evening. A railway by the route proposed would not, it is febooght, be more difficult to operate all the year round, or during the nine or ten months that the Labrador coast would be open, than the other ports of the Canadian Pacifiai railway, particularly that part of which is being construct**! north of Lake Superior, The replicas are now at the custom's Mf* prater's office, whence they will be delivered free of duty on the sworn statement of MrVK.1 W.

London, Jan. 23.—After midnight Wednesday night, when all the newspaper njen of xfce city were excited over the stirring news from the Boudan, a belated reporter wns astounded at seeing Mr. Gladstone enjoyably pacing up and down the sidewalk in front of his official residence in Downing street. The premier was walking slowly, with his hands clasped behind him and with a calm and even serene expression on his rugged features.., It was evident that the loss of a few scire of ■otdiers in the Metemneh desert and the anxiety concerning the future of the expedition, had no power to disturb his equanimity, despite the diatribes about blood-guiltinqss to which he has been treated by the peace-atany-price Radicals. The promenade lasted half an hour. At the heels of the gnat nan followed one of the detectives detailed to guard him whenever he goes out of doors. The detective was almost audibly cursiqg the dipty which kept him trotting after th* premier at that unseasonable hour; I Incriminating I.vldence. AtJOUSTA, Jan. 23.—A sensational state of affaire orate in Habersham county, famous as the summer home of rich Georgians before the war. Several years ago it was hinted that the county officers were that numerous trust estates were in an unsatisfactory condition and that the debt of the county was being largely increased. In some instances these rumors have so far developed *3 to call for indietinente against certain old and .officers.. The evidence them existed in the county records.

ILfldtr UTTERS. Nelson P. Hutchinson and Howard Anderson, two others of the searchers, told the story of the hunt. Hutohinaeil testified that Qeorge Wainwright accompanied him part of the distance. As he passed the place where there is every reason to believe his father was shot, Qoorge pointed it out and said: "If my father was killed, there's the spot where it was done."-,,, u ' i Tho sensation of' the day occurred when fhomns Luker was called to the stand. He occupies a cabin adjoining that it) which the Vainwright family lived, and Was at "Once Under suspicion of having had a band in the murder. He showed his innocence, however, it the time and was acquitted. It was the knowledge of this fact that led the audience TO look with little favor upon the badgering cross-examination to which the It'fonso subjected him. The audience sice went so far in its demonstration of sympathy with him as to break into general applause when he made a sally at one of the defendant's lawyers. The demonstration made ludge Van Syckel very indignant, and he threatened to clear the court room. The counsel kept up his line of croes examination, tfbwever. A stripling found near the body had been painted red by the scraping of a wagon that passed over it to cart the dead man away. The state say that the stripling Has marked by Rockwell's wagon body. The defense, by way of throwing suspicion upon Luker, claim that it was from the body of his wagon that the red paint was rubbed. In pursuance of this theory Luker was asked on eross examination where the old body of his wagon was.

The facts already proven seem to furnish almost conclusive evidence that others than those already arrested am fuilty at least of being accessories to the murder, and it is also believed that the killing of Dmas was a deliberately arranged affair and one that had for a long time been contemplated and all the details planned, even tp thq berrible disposition that was to be made"# th&hody of the victim.

London, Jab. 23.—The corporation of London held a secret session, at which 4 letter from Sir William Vernon the home secretary, was read. In his letter the home secretary lectures the city flathexf for what he terms the audacity of offering a reward of £5,000 for the arrest of the dynamiters who attempted to blow iuD Loudon bridge. He says it was unpardonable to offer a larga reward without cdu lilting the government, Und he flatly refuses to ossift in this scheme of capturing the misareftntp by promising a pardon to any one who may seek to earn the reward by betraying hi* accomplices. He points out that fmbiic effers of rewards have failed before in similar cases and are unlikely to succeed in the future, not because the dynamiters are too honorable to betray each other, but because there is no way to guarantee the informer; against the secret vengance of his confederates.

I sprang to my feet, but not before he had a second time staObed me, disabling the other arm.

I was weak from loss of blood, and was iDowerlesa to protect myself from his murderous assault. Kearney, O'Brien and the stranger all left when Short attacked me, and X was left alone with my would-be assassin. As I left the room and hastened towards the stairs loading to the street Short followed close at I»y li«els and plunged his dagger in my head and neck. At the bottom of the stain I fell on the sidewalk helpless, blending, and, as everybody believed, in a dying condition. When the officer brought Short and asked him if he was my assailant, I was almost crazed with pain and f tried to shoot him, but my arms were powerless and did not hit him.
