An Account of Their Escape and Subsequent Adventures. How the Yankee Captain Braved and Dadgered the British Lion. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. NEw Youk, Aug. 19.—The Fenian prisoners who escaped from New Sonth Wales in the American bark Catalpa landed at pier No. 1, North River, at 11 o'clock this morning, and were met by a large number of their sympathiz- ing countrymen, and escorted to O'Donovan Rossa's Hotel, at Chatham Square and Mott street. After they had breakfasted, a great number of their fellow-patriots called on them, to whom they chatted and told the history of their escape. The prisoners have all the ap- pearznce of laboring men, and were dressed in overalis and jumpers, some wearing belts. THE ARRIVAL. To the Western Associated Press. NEw York, Aug. 10.—The whaling bark Catalpa arrived here this morning froin New Southi‘Wales with the Fenian prisoncrs who es- caped from that country some time since. The names of the men are Mickael Harrington, Thomas Darragh, James Wilson, Robert Crans- ton, Thomas Henry Hassctt, John J. Breolin (alias Collins), Thomas Desmond (alias John- son), John King (alias Jones), and Thomas Brennan (alias Hall). When the ship Catalpa, with the six escaped Fenians on board, srrived this morning, dis- patchies were sent over the city to members of the Committee appointed to receive the men, and shortly after daybredk the Committee as- sembled st the Battery, and boarded the vessel. The meeting between the old veterans, aboard, and the tried men who came to welcome them, was a hearty and whole-souled grecting. The men laughed and wep in turn. The Catalpa is a slow sailer, having consumed nearly four months on her voyage. After two mouths her stock of provisions was so meagre that the men were puton short allowance. They all arrived, however, in good health and spirits. Capt. Anthony, who commanded the Catalpa, has a daring mien, tempered with a smile cal- culated to win confidence. Onc of the most touching incidents of the re- ception of the exiles was the meeting with Will- jam Foley. Foley was also a soldier in the British army, aud had seen hard service. In 1866, he was tricd on a charge of treason and {elony, found guilty, and sentenced to ten vears penal servitude. e served his term with the men who have now arrived, and knew them all intimately. The Catalpa Iy off Freemantle be- fore Fole¥’s term expired, but he knew her mis- sion, and bid her God-speed, and to-day he wel- comes his fellow-convicts as brother freemen. ‘The men disembarked from the vesgel this morning, and procecded to O’Donovan Rossa’s hotel, where they will temporarily remain. THE ESCAPE. Thomas Henry, one of the Fenians who ar- rived in the Catalpa to-day said to a reporter: 4 We were expecting for about two_vears that we would be rescued from prison. We always kept on the alert for a movement of any kind which could_be turned to our advantage. We were notified of thesailing of the C:Atnlia. and expected her in Mareh, but we did oot hear of ber arrival until a few days_before the 17th of April, the day on which we ¢ffected our purpose. ter breakfast, on the 1Gth, about ten minutes t08 o'clock, we left the prison zates unobserved, and entered carrisges provided for us. Our party numbered about eleven. including outsiders Who kept 1n the front and rear to keep a sharp lookout for enemies. We reached Rockingham at 11:30 a. m., where a whaleboat from the Catalpa was lying, and zot on board the boats. The crew were then in charge of an oflicer from the vessel. During the journey by land WE WERE NOT MOLESTED, though we met several persons. When we were 3¢ mile, * ~m shore the police came up and captured ous horses and carriages, which had been left on the beach. We had great trouble in finding the Catalpa, and the police got a boat and were searching for us. A storm _arose and blew us out to sca,and our provisions were destroyed, and we wereall wet. Night came on, and we were IN A DEPLORABLE CONDITION. When daylight broke we saw _the Catalpa and made for her. When about 7 miles from the vessel saw the colonial steamer Georgette and police cutter searching for us, but they could not sce us owing to the rough cross scas. The police kept Catalpa in sight while the stcamer went to land. We were then 20 miles from lund, and near Rottenness, and rowed with all our strength to the bark. At this time both the Catalpa a police boat had discovered us, and the latter was fast pulling towards us, but we headed the police cutter and reached the Catalpa first, and SCRAMBLED ON DOARD. The crew of the bark gave a cheer, and we rushed over to the other side of the deck and drew our revolvers, and presented them at the heads of seven men in the police-boat. The steamer Georgette was commissioned by the Government officials to follow us, The bark could not go to sca that night as the wind was dead abiead. The next morning the Grorgette bore down us and demanded that the Captain of the Catapala give up the prisoners, which the Iatter refused, and the Georgette sailed for the shore. Four thousand dollars have been raised here for the relief of the prisoners. ANOTHER ACCOUNT- London Times, Aug. The Australian mail huas brought a full ac- count of the escape of Fenian prisoners from Freemantle, Western Australia on Easter Mon- day. It is stated that— M. Collins, described s an affable, gentlemanly man, of fair complexion, and an English ac- cent, arrived_in Alhany in November last, per steamer from Mclbourne, and came to Freemantle per Georzette s a first-class passenger. By the sawe mail 2 man named Johnson, who possesses the characteristics of a thoro Yankec,ar- rived as a second-class pas: er of these persons appeared to know each other.

They halted. « medaiately made for the boat. into which they jum od, and were pulled ont fo sea, Bell's <aspiciy being aroused, he hastened to Freemant e ‘information to the police. The water police- hoat at once gave par<uit. and on the evening of the same day the Georgelte was commissioned 28 8 war-vesel by the authorities, and disputched in pursuit of fuzitives The instructions given to the commander were 1w overtake and gG alonzside the ship to which the ) | wualeboats ure supposed to belong, to asceriain 1t - coast. the absconders were op board: and to demand thelr furrengder. No force was to be nsed. but the men on board were to be kept under ai as a mean« of defense. On the following morning the Georgette sighted a bark under light sail steering south. 1In abiont two hours ehe was alongside, when the ves- sel turned out to be the Catalpa, of New Bedford, Capt. Anthony,a whaier, flying the American flag. This vessel had cleared out from Bunbury on the 2Sthof March. It was noticed that her farboard boat was missing, ana in reply to questions put by Mr. Stone (the Superintendent of water police, who was in command of the steamer) the mate, after eome hesitation. eaid the Captain was at Freemantle. that no boat hsd been seen with prisoners in her, and that be was awaiting the retarn of his Capfain. JIr. Stone then asked: **Can I board your ship and search ™™ to which¢he mate coolly replied, **Den’t know, 2ot mo instructions. but ruess vou had better not. anyhow." The Georgette being short of coul, Mr. Stone determined opon returning at once to Free- mantle, where she arrived about 5 o'clock. _About noon the Catalpa was observed by those on board the police-boat to tack and stand to the north. The police-boat was then ubout two miles south. to the leeward of her. She took a similar couse, and de- scricd o whaleboat ahead to the leeward. She gave fuil chase and gained upon her, but her motions were observed by the ' Catalpa, which bore down under fall = sail, picked up the whaleboat, and stood away. The olice-boat then passed tho ship within 220 yards to Jeeward of her, and distinctly recognized the Fe- nians on Yoard by their convict dress. and also Mr. Collina. Neither of the boats hailed cach other. and the police-hoat returned to Frecrantle. leav- ing the,Catalpa steering south. The Georgette, having been supplied with coal. was again dis- patched by the tiovernment in pursuit. and early next morning sighted the Catalpa bearing S. S. E. undersail. On nearing her the steamer fired 4 gun under the vessel's stern, when she instantly hoisted the Xmerican flag, but took no further notice of the firing. Both vessels coming within hailing distance, Mr. Superintendent Stone, addressing the Captain of the Catalpa, demanded the six es- caped convicts on board his ship. Capt. Antbony replied that he had no convicts in his ressel, nor would he allow the police to board her. The Su- perintendent then '=aid, **If you do mot give them up I will fire into you and sink or disable you.' The Captain, nothing daunted. retorted, *Idon't care what you do: 1 am on the high seas, and that flag (pointing to the stars and stripes) pro- tects me. Aller some further parley, the steamer returned to Freemantle. During the whole of her cruise after the Catulpa the men were on board under arme, on the defensive, but Mr. Stone's orders were to threaten as much as he liked, but not o wse any violence. The Perth Inquirer gays: Tt seems humiliating that a Yankee, with half a dozen colored men, should be uble to come into our waters and carry off six of the most deter- mined of the Fenian “convicts, all the unrcleased military prisoners, and then laugh at us for allow- ing them to be taken away without an effort {o gccure them. But international law must be ob- served. and doubtless the Home Government will seek and obtain redress for this outrage. It is evi- dent that Collins came to this Colouy with ample means 24 the agent of the American Fenian_Bro- therhood, and that Jones, Johnson, and Taylor were co-workers in furthering the escape of the brizoners. Immediately the Catalpa arrived at Bunbury Collins proceeded there, and doubtless interviewed Captain Anthony. who shortly after- wards came to Freemantle under the plea of secur- ing fresn charts, but, in reality, to reconnoitre the ‘The Weatern Australian 7imes states that that the prisoners had absconded at Freemnntle as carly as 30 a. m., batit was supposcd the men were concealed in some premires at Freemantle, and it ywas not until balf-past 1 p. m. that the real state of the case transpired, when Mr. Bell re- ported to the authorities that about 9 a.m. a whaleboat bad put inat Rockingham, and about two hours afterwards a man on horseback, and about eight or ten others in three separate traps, arrived at the same spot from Freemantle. They =ll jumped into the boatand put out to sea. As they were pulling off ell asked what was to be done with the horsesand traps. He was told *they might go to —." ‘The Catalpa was sighted it was discovere from the Wi off de Verde the following day, the 18th, andat 2 P. m. the whaleboat with the “absconders and oth- o seen, in all abont fourteen men.

C., Aug. 19.—Austarchi Bey, the Turkish Minister, has received an official declaration of the Turkish Government, dated Coustantinople, 19th, giving the history of the commencement of the hostilities with Servia and Montenegro. It sets forth the concessions made to Scrvia under the Treaty of Paris; speaks of the efforts of the Porte to aid in de- veloping the prosperity of the Principality. The strife was caused by a few ambitious and rest- less men, who sacrificed to vain popularity the true interests of the country, and from the be- ginning of the insurrection in Herzegovina bave, by every mecans in their power, aided the insurirents. Notwithstanding tbeir disloyal attitudes the greatest forbearance had been shown by the Porte, and, taking advantage of its pacific disposition, they ¥rcpued to take an active part in the insurrection. Finally af- fairs reached such a point that the Imperial Government was compelled formally Yo ask the authorities at Belgrade to explain the reason for the concentration of Ser- vian troops mear the Turkish vilayets. Prince Milan, in reply, arged the responsibility of the military measures upon the Porte, and addressed a letter asking that his troops be allowed to enter Bosnia for the purpose, as he said, of pacifying that country; concluding by declaring that in'case of refusal hewas resolved to act accordingly. In the meantime his agent at Constantinople requested that Servia be given the ad- ministration of Bosnia _on condition of paying an annual tribute. Withont awniting a reply, the Servians invaded the Turkish prov- inces, and the Prince of Montcnegro also de- clared_hostility. The Porte was, thercfor compelled to repel aggression by force, ai thus commenced the war. The declaration then goes on to state how the Porte had religiously adhered to the Treaty of Paris, and places upon the Princes of Servia and Montenegro the onus of having broken their treaty stipulations. The document concludes as follows: ¢ Trusting to the justice of our cause, all our efforts shall tend toward & vigorous prosecution of the strugzle waged against us, and we shall try to bring it to a speedyclosc. By this means we shall be able to execute sooner the reforms and improvements which our august Sovereign has the firm_will to introduce in the Empire, and which will give to our populations the ma- terial and moral comforts they havea right to ? ect g}-om the Government of His Maiesty the tan.’ PORTUGAL. A FINANCIAL CRISIS. LissoN, Aug. 19.—In consequence of the financial crieis, there was & general run on the banks here yesterday, and they were compelled to close their doors.

Now, this statement is as false as it is mo- Yicious, as far as the Nora Lodge is concerned, said lodge being purely a benevolent and sod:-l organization, duly chartered under our Stats laws, never in auy way interfering or meddliog with political or religions questions of auy kin or nature. 1f indivilual members desire to run for office. they certainly have a right to do so, and we cluin the privilege of supporting them or not just as we deem proper. But, as a matter of Tact, the only member of the lodge who has ever held any political office is ex-Ald. Gunder son. 80 it is evident that this dangerous ring bas not made any special efforts to pit its mem- bers intooffice. Theobject of the commuuication scems to be some sort of an electioncering dodge in favor of one particular candidate, and to run down the character and gvod name of a rival candidate. Ifesich was the intention, it wasa toial failure as far as the Norwegians are con- cerned, who know all the parties.
