EXCITEMENT AT FoRr NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ESCAPE % PnisoRERs.-- on Wednesday
night week considerable excitement was created
at Fort Mitilin by an attempt being made by
over two hundred prisoners to escape from their
confinement. The plan adopted by them was to
bore a hole through the wall, near the bomb
proof, by means Of iron spikes and other sharp
Instruments, which they had seoreted on the
premises Some Of the prisoners had been con-
fined within the fort about three years. The
first intimation Of the attempted escape was dis
covered BY the guard, who overheard some con-
versaton. He Immediately notified Captain
Finnie, who, with his usual prompIness. sum
moned the guard, IL was not lOug before the
leader in the plot, Howe, the murdersr, made
his appearance In trout Of the hole, having put
his head through TO discover.
As soon as he was discovered, the guard by
order of Captain Finnie, ired. Tue report Of
the musketTy threw terror into tue ranks Oi the
prisoners, who Immediately attempted To con
ceal themselves, but their movements we're mar
rOWly watched, and soon they found themselves
surrounded by large number OF soldiers. The
prisoners were Immediately marched into their
place OF confinement, where they were secured
iu manner that will prevent their future
escape. The alarm extended throughout the
place. and II was some time before quiet could
he restored. Much secrysy was observed by the
prisoners In reference to their Intended escape,
