CINCINNATI, Nov. /.
An extraordinary case of treason has re-
Gently come to light, duplicating several per-
SONS in this city, Columbus. Covington and
Newport, in conspiring to release the rebel
prisoners at Camp Chase and the overthrow
of the State Government. The conspiracy
was brought to light by United States detec-
tives, who were supposed by the parties i'm
plicated, to be spies from the rebel army. and
were treated with full confidence.
The plot, as discovered to the detectives,
was that an attack was to be made on Camp
Chase to release the rebel prisoners confined
there, numbering $500 to seize the Arsenal
at Columbus, take possession of the peneten-
tiary, release John Morgan and the other rebel
officers confined there and then commence a
rebel campaign in Ohio.
U. S. Marshal Sands and Provost Marshal
NJ. J. Reamy have arrested the following per-
sons implicated in the plot:-Chas. w. II.
Cathcart, of Columbus, formerly School Com
missioner of Ohio, and j. ID. Crensop, of Co
lumbus, formerly sutler in the 18th regiment
who were to lead the attack on Camp Chase;
Jas. ID. Patton, of Covington, a regular agent
of the rebel Government, who furnished mon
ey to the detectives under the impression that
they were spies, and, according to agreement,
were to meet Cathcart and the others at Camp
Chase, and assist in maturing the plan of at
tack; Ruth Mcdonald, of Covington, who
acted as mail carrier through the rebel lines
aud whose house was the headquarters of the
rebels; Saml. p. Thomas, merchant tailor of
Cincinnati and his wife, and Catherine Par
menter, of Cincinnati.
Information has been obtained that an or
ganization exists in Illinois, waiting for the
outbreak in Ohio. Other particulars are known
to the authorities, but have not yet been made
public.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. /.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. |.
The sale of 5-20's on Saturday amounted to
Sl6,500,O00, making over S36,000,000 for the
week Some delay may be experienced in the
delivery of large subscriptions, but it is the
intention, as far as possible, to deliver on sub
scriptons all amounts under $1,000. The
public will bear in mind that less than S15,-
100000 of these bonds remain unsold, and
that foreign competition is very heavy. The
loan will probably all be taken up before the
list of December, and there is no obligation
on the part of the Treasury to retain it for
public bidding. The last hundred millions
will, therefore, be taken by capitalists, trust
companies and banks for investment, and it is
the wish of the Sub. Agent to avert any ia
vorte combination by giving the people time
ly notice of the contingencies of the loan be-
ing consumed and sunmarily placed hey ond
their reach except at premium.

LOSS FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
Spanish Loss in Killed and Wounded
1900.
NEW YoRK Noy-

NEW YORK, Nov. /.
Brig Santiago, from Porto au Plata Oct. 9th,
via Grand Turk, has arrived. She carried 100
refugees from Port au Plata to Grand Turk.
The Hamburg and Bremen Consuls at Port au
Plata were passengers TO this port.
Reliable news by this arrival confirms prev
ious reports, that the Spanards, after the de-
struction of the town of Santiago de Cabal-
leros, the Spanish garrison, with 200 reinforce
ments, retreated back to Port au Plata. The
insurgents so harrassed their march as to
cause loss TO the Spaniards of from 1000 TO
1900 in killed and wounded. Fresh arrival of
troops reinforced the Spanards to 1000 men,
yet even these were confined to the town by
the efforts of not over 1000 insurgents, the
Spaniards not making a single effort to drive
off their assailants. This continued to Oct.
I'd, when the Spanish troops retired to the
fort, and the town was given up to pillage.
Part OF the Spanish troops embarked for San
Domingo, reducing the garrison to 1900.
On the 4th the Spaniards again pilaged the
town, and the Domincans then tried their
hands at the same game. Nearly all the
houses and stores were plundered, and such
articles as could not be removed were de-
stroyed. Six hundred Spaniards then sailed
from the fort and, after severe fight, drove
the Domincans from the town. The Span
iards were assisted by the guns of the fort,
which set fire to the town. The fire continued
until the departure of the Santiago, destroy
ing, amongst others, the valuable stores Of the
considerable body of foreign merchants. In
fact, the whole town, except the Wesleyan
Mission House and a few small buildings, were
burnt, and il was believed that the rest of the
town would be destroyed
The losses by the two fires at Santiago and
Port an Plata reach s5,000000. The whole
population of the latter town had fed TO for
eign countries and thousands had gone TO the
neighboring islands, and some of the principal
merchants were leaving for the United States
The L. 5. Commercial Agent was among those
who left. None saved aught but their lives
Among the towns-people who were killed by
the Spanish soldiers was an American named
John Cooper.
Another account from the Turks Island
Standard says that in the battle the Spaniards
were terribly beaten and driven back to the
fort with loss of $50 men. A brisk fire from
the fort compelled the Dom;nicans TO leave
the town. The Government houses, Ameri-
can aud British Consuls, residences and the
Roman Catholic church were among the
buildings burned. The Spanish soldiers were
seen going about with iircbrands in their
hands while the fight was progressing. Re-
port said the Spaniards would soon evacuate
the tort. as they could not retain il against the
Dominicans, who number 1000 men in the
nelghborhood. Ii is said that the whole south
side of the island is in actual rebellion, and
the Dominicans who joined Sontana are re-
ported 20 have deserted him.

rived at Grand Turk.

WASHINGTON, Nov. |.
To Col. Robert Nugent Assistant Adiutant
Provost General, New York:
The representations made by Dean Rich
mond and Peter Cogger In printed circular,
dated Oct. u, 1862 in respect to the action of
the Provost Marshal General, are untrue 1t
is not true that the State of New York is
charged with a deficiency for every citizen
who has paid the $500 Communication. On the
contrary, the State receives the same credit
for man who has paid his communication as if
the drafted citizen had gone in person or fur
nished a substitute, and in like manner towns
which have raised the money TO pay their
quotas receive the same credit as if actual
substitutes had been furnished, aud the Presi-
dent has ordered that every citizen who has
paid the $3.50 Communication shall receive the
same credit therefor as if he had furnished
substitute, and is eXonerated from military
service for the term for which he was drafted,
to wit, for three years. As the misrepresen-
tations of Dean Richmond and Peter Cogger
have been published and circulated Tor cleo
tioneeEng purposes, it is proper that you give
them immediate correction.

WASUINGTON.N Nov

WASHINGTON, Nov. l.
The following was received this evening at
the Headquarters OF the Army:
Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 26.-To Maj Gen.
H. w. Halleck, General in Chief:-In the fight
of last night, the enemy attacked Gen. Geary's
DIVISION posted ON Wantotchie. on three Sides
and broke his camp at one point, but was driv-
en- back in most gallant style by part of his
force, the remainder being held in reserve
Gen. Howard, whilst marching to Gen. Geary's
relief, was attacked on the flank, the enemy
occupying in force two commanding hills on
the left OF the road. He Immediately threw
forward two of his regiments and took both
at the point of the bayonet, driving the enemy
from his breastworks and across Lookout
Creek. In this brilliant success over their old
adversary, the conduct of the officers and men
of the tn and 18th corps is entitled to the
highest praise.
