I.onln Ag-nlA ln-itcil by m Djnamilf Explosion The Admiralty Huilllo the l i of the Kz plostoo. Lomn. April 23. At 11 o'clock thj momicc an explosion occurred ia the basement of the Admiralty building. The building wa; badly damaged and many persans wereirjured. Among them were some of the head officials cf the department The explosion was undoubtedly caused by guncotton or dynamite. 1! :".0 a. rc. Great eiciteruent was caused in the Admiralty office in Whits Hall, at 11 o'clock this afternoon, by an explosion ia a room In the basement :.a building. The fremen and police were promptly summoned, and all the gates ot the Admiralty building were closed. A special gnarl was at once poa'cl and no person was allowed to enter or depart from the premises until a thorough examinatioa could be made. It is supposed th&t the e.T plosion wao caused by the premature dicharg of a projectile which had been sent to the Admiralty for examination. 12:')0 p. ei. The explosion this morning badly damaged tbe loom in which it occurred, and set it on fire. The officials anil firemen soon extinguished the fiames. Mr. William S. Caine, M. P., Civil Lord of th Admiralty, was summoned by telegraph, and be shortly afterward ariiv6d at the scene of the explosion. Atfi'tt it was reported that the expl03:on was caused by dynamite and that it was the outcome cf a plot hatched by either dynamite re or mbiiis'e for the purpose of hampering the war preparations of the British Gjrtrnrrent. A prominent Scotland yard detective asserts to day that the nihiiiits in London have suddenly bscome very patriotic in their conversation s;nce the controversy between England and Russia regarding the Afghan boundary question had reiche! a critical stage. The employes of the Admiral, ty trice have been working day and night for tome time past in order to hurry forward tbe war preparations for tbe Sanda ana for other purposes, aud any disaster to the building at present would cause serious delay. An inspectcr, after a cursory examination, expressed doubt as to whather the explosion was caused by gas, gun powder odynamite The explosion occurred in the Sscret&ry's department. Mr. Edwi N. Sar&inssn, Assistant Secretary and principal clerk, received a severe scalp wound, it is said tu it other officials were also injured, but none sa seriously as Mr. Swalnson. It is now believed that the expl03ian was cot accidental, but that it was csnd by dynamite. It is now regarded as certain that either gun cotton or dynamite was ased to cause the explcsion. Mr. Swainson's roam, in which the explosion took place, was mad j a complete wreck Tbe adjacent coridora were very much damaged, while all the windows froiitiog on the Horss Guards parade were blown oat No arrest a have been made up to this hour, nor anyone beca detained, even on suspicion. No clue of any kind whatsoever has yet been obtained as to the origin of the explosion. Tbe walls and other fclncipal parts of the building are uninjured, n addition to tbe severs scalp wound, Mr. Swainion also f offers from severe canenssion of tbe brain. It is expected, however, that be will lecover from his injuries. 2iD0 p. m The room occupied by Mr. Swalnson, and in which the explosi jn occurred, is on the ground floar and immediately back of tbe Admiralty o.lics It overlooks tbe yard in front cf tha residence cf Lord Nortbbrook, the First Lard ot tbe Admiralty. The plaster cf tha room hangs in ribbona from both walls atd ceiling Tne t'ttings of the room are smathed i a to atoms. The marvel now is that a more serious damage was not done to the occupants of the r.om. Mr Swaicson. who has been restored to censciousnefs, gives it as his op'nioa that tbeeipioslve; whatever It may havebea, a thrown into the room tbrotuha window. A ruoior ia dow in circulation that two meo bearing a picksge were seen, jast previous to the xplcsicn, mounting a wall near the ecrttar?'a department The explosion took place at 10 50 ths iru rr.ing. Two loud and quick reports were teard; consternation took possession of all pericns in the vicinity. It is supposed that tbe expicsive wes thrown over the wail in the rear cf the Admiralty building and facie k tbe Eoree Gaards parade. Tne explosion occurred clcse to, but notiaMr. ewsiLsou's room, as stated in the earlier rejorrs. The stair-case leading to the board room, which is located tn the southwest corner t the baildinjr, ss demolühed. Tne iron railing on the ataiiudse was wrenched from Its fastenirgs, and window within fifty yards of the spot where the explosion 00cuned were lror". Another repoj v ays two men were noticed by te vera.' venom rcconnouerin? yesterdsy,

and this morning the same men were seen to enter the garden in frontot Mr. Swainson's office from the direction of the Harse Guards' parade ground. Oae of them carried a tin can, which was placed in a recess of the passage way leading to the office. The movements of the two men attracted but little attention at tbe time, owing to the fast that eeveral susveyors and a number ot workmen have recently been engaged in lreainriog dtatascea, etc, on the proan is, end thoee who saw the two men believed ti at they were employes of the Government ri sage d in the tame sort of work. Twociti c..! of the Government took auch ptrticular notice of the two men that they c aim they can identify them, evey if placed in a crawd of other nitn. They have given a goxl description 0! the suspected men to the detectives, who are row wot king up tha case. 7he re was only one explosion.

A strong suspicion row prevails in police and official circle that tha explosion m the Admiralty office wa9 the result of private malice, as Mr. Swaiosou was greatly disliked by a number of persona, iaciudiDg several employes of the oil; ce. It is certain that tbe infernal machine was placed in a book case jnst over the spjt where Mr. Ewainson'a bead woald ba whs-i iittir cat his desk. The detectives arepjsilive that tbe cutrne was the work rf an employe, as 0 stranger could pass tbe janitor without some document showing that he had business with some of the heals of department and the janitor says no stracker, to his knowledge, has passed bis dcor during the past twenty-four hours.

Dickson Acquitted lie snes Ex-Attorney Geoeral lirewil er fur Libel. Wafhikoton, April 27. In the Dickson trial this morning ex-Attorney General Brewster was preeent and took the witness stand. He was asked to state what took place at hia interview with Kennedy, early in the Star Route trial. He said that Kennedy came and told him that Dickson wanted to take a ride with bint (Kennedy) and talk about the Star Route trials and about what was going on in the jury room. He (Brewster) was indignant, and told Kennedy not to dare ta'k with the jurymen. It would ba an outrage upon the Government Counsel for the defense objected on the giound tbat the witness was making a speecn for the Government and not giving testimony. After a abort colloquy, the Court ruled that the narration of the conversation was relevant Witne.8, proceeding, said he told Kennedy emphatically tbat he bad no ripht to talk with Dickson, and it would be criminal In tim. He (Brewster) would report it to the Court. "Did Kennedy say anything at tbat interview about having been told by Brewster Cameron to talk with Dickson?" "Not a word." Witness knew ex-Marshal Henry only as a marshal of the court He remembered an Interview with him about the selection 0! tale? men. "State whether or not von told Henry that the country would hold him responsible if the defendants were not convicted." "Never a word. It would be an insult Mr. Smith, counsel for tke defense, entered a vigorous objection. This witness was brought here to make an argument. A lively colloquy ensued between counsel, Court and witness. The farmer maintained that this witness was brought there. not to give testimony, but to make an argu ment before tbe lory. This proceeding was extraordinary and It was au outrage upon the defendant. Mr. Brewtter I am not to be treated here in this way, eir. I am not brought here to be insulted. Mr. Smith produced a copy ot a local newspaper containing an interview between witcess and Marshall Henry, and reading from it, asked late told the Marshal: "If this trial miscarries tbe censure alls upon you You will never escape it as long as you live." Mr. Brewster Never. I never d'd say that I called upon him as au accused man. I told him that if it turned out that these salesmen were put there by him designedly, why then be (Brewster) would see htm punished, and he (Henry) would never escape the consequences. "Was there a stenographer concealed behind the screen?" . "There was no screen in the room " "Was there a stenographer preasnt?" "Yea air. He waa in plain sight, as near to ire and In as plain sight as is the Clerk of the Court cow." "Who was tbe stenograpberf "A K. York, I called at the Department to

pet him to come he's to day, but found be was in the West taking testimony." "Mr. Brewster, are yon acquainted with Henry A. Brown? "No sir." (With great emphasis.) I never saw bim but twice in my life." Tbe District Attorney tried to eject an objection. Witness I bad rather answe. I have been assailed about that I never had three minutes conversation with bim in my life. " (Veil, you appointed him to an office, did net you?' ' No sir. The general agent appointed him. He selected bim, and Mr. Lincoln recomneeded bim." The Coort then stated he could not permit the examination to proceed in taat dirtction any lurtber, eo the witness was diar.:s(d. The taking of evidence then closed. After argument for the prosecution, the defense submitted tbe case without argument. J edge Mc Arthur then charged the jury. He eaia tbe material matter to ee inquired into was whether the defendant mads an attempt to corrupt the jnry. The olTense described in the ibdictment was the reading of a c.-r-tain writing to the Star-route jury. The reading of the paper was admitted. Whether it ws read with corrupt intent ehanld be determined ty the circumstances. There was no doubt at all that Mr. Dickson's act in conversing with Bowen about tbe case daring trial, was a most irregular and repreienuble act. He thought the jury was justiliei in inferring that Iiowen did undoubtedly make an attempt to corrupt Dickson. All the i'urors, except one, declared the belief that )ickaon did not intend to inflaenca their judement He thought there could be no ooubt at all that a set of men were set opon tbat jury to watch them, and many of them undoubtedly mistook their duty atd went so far as to involve themselves in crime. Several of tbe jurors epeke of tbia in the jury room, and finally a vote was taken, and Mr. Dickson read ths paper From these various circumstances the jury ruuot determine whether he had in bis neart at the time a corrupt motive. In order to convict they must be convinced thatLe entertained a corrupt motive. Tire jury then retired, and alter an absence of half an hour returned a verdict of not gu !(y. Mr. Dickson this afternoon entered suit against ex-Attorney General Brewster for libel, laying damages at 50.000, In having. In Philadelphia, on the 20d of April, to a reporter of the Press, ueei the fallowing laneuape of and concerning him: "Dickson ecld that trial.

He concluded the conversation by rsmarkirg rather curtly, 'File your papers, sir, and they will receive attention in due season.' Mr. Bayard is naturally stiff aud distant in his manner, especially to persons seeking office.
