The Peruvian Freighted with the Dis ease---Twenty•Eight New Cases at Quarantine, and Thirty-Five Deaths During the Passage from Liverpool--Two Cases Yesterday in New York. CFrom to-day's N. Y. Tribtme.l The fact that the cholera has been raging violently in Germany, for some time past. has been well known in this city, so that the arrival of two ships on successive days, freighted with the disease, caused very little surprise. Cases have recently been reported here from the Health authorities in London, that occurred among emigrants from Rot terdam and other Continental cities, and the warnings that the epidemic was on its way to our coast have been unmistakable. The scattering cases that have occurred in the city were merely the vanguard of the enemy, developing his purpose and arousing the officers to such precautions as they were able to make to prevent his advent. We have not doubted, from the first, that this disease would -make its appearance amonr , us in an epidemic form unless it could be 'thwarted by such measures as the Board of Health might adopt, nor do we doubt it now. The causes for apprehension have grown greatly within a day or two,and we therefore, more in warning than in fear, this morning place before our readers such news as we have been able to gather con cerning the progress of the disease. We fully believe that with proper care most cases of cholera may be cured; and more 'With the hope of preparing our citizens for those insidious premonitory symptoms which always precede the attack, and to caution them against diiregardingits warn ings, than from any fear of a large mor tality list from the ravages of the epidemic, even if it should occur, we announce the fact that it still exists in the city in scatter ing cases. It is true that these occur every year, and during the healthiest seasons our physicians are called upon occasionally to attend cases that arise purely from local causes. Now, however, when they arise in different parts of the city, while at the same time the disease breaks out spontaneously, as it were, upon almost every emigrant ship that arrives, they are to be regtyded in a different light, and every- case is necessarily sur rounded by a somewhat painful interest. Day before yesterday John Fitzgerald, re siding at No. 14 Cherry street, was taken violently ill, and yesterday morning he died. His illness lasted scarcely 24 hours, and was accompanied--by-an unmistakable choleraic diarrhea. The deceased lived in a very insalubrious part of the city, upon the top-floor of a rear tenement-house, and in all probability lacked that intelligence which might have saved his life if properly directed upon the appearance of the first symptoms of disease. The second case is that of a woman named Carrigan, residing at No. 803 Sixth avenue. The case is a mild form of cholera, or a severe one of cholera morbus, and had not fully developed itself when the report was made. 11 was regarded, however, as suffi ciently dangerous to be made known to the Health Officers. The patient resides in the back room, on the second floor of the build ing, and immediately over a livery stable. In the former case a post-obitum examina tion will probably be held this morning; in the latter, it is possible the life of the patient may be saved. The Peruvian, Capt. Salmon, arrived at Quarantine, from Liverpool, ' yesterday afternoon, after a passage of about 15 days. She had on beard, at the time of sailing, 758 passengers, of whom 35 died from cholera during the passage. At the time of arrival, there were 28 cases on board, all of whom were transferred immediately to the Hos pital ship, under charge of the Deputy Health Officer. The deaths generally occurred in from one to two days after the attack. The following letter from Dr. Bissel of the Hospital Ship Falcon, was sent to the Health officer yesterday : Dn. SWINBITRNE: I have to report the ar rival of the steamship Union, Capt. Palmer, from LiVerpool, May 12th, at this station. She sailed with 434 passengers, and on her arrival here many of them were down with cholera. The first case occurred on the 18th, in the person of a native of Denmark, who died twelve hours after the attack. Thirty three died on the passage, mostly of cholera. She had thirty-four sick on her arrival here, all of whom were at once transferred to this ship, many in a dying condition. Their names are as follows : Neels Fransen, Petro Emilcliech, Herewerh, liana Ipsen, Andrew Swensen, Mary McGettnch, Bridget Slipper, Bar bette Mayer, N. Mayer, Christina Krum bacher,Anna Greta Swamdsen,Bridget Bea lin, Jungen Petersohn, M. Masstador. John Connelly, Emil Bach, Andres Swend sen, August Anderson, A. Anderson, Geier Hansen, S.

The follow ing died Mav 29 : Neels Fransen, Bridget Bealin: 30th,— Herewerh, and one name unknown. I have also to report the arrival of the steamship Peruvian; Capt. Salmon, from Liverpool with 758 passengers; 35 died on the passage of cholera, and 28 are now on board sick; they will at -once be transferred to the Hospital. The hospital ship Illinois was towed up to and anchored in the North river yesterday, having on board the convalescents of the steamship Virginia. PETROLEUM V. NASBY. Oar readers doubtless read the letter of Petroleum V. Nasby, in our last issue, giving an amusing account of his visit to Gettysburg and Chambersburg. His proper name is M. Day. He hails from the State of Ohio, and is an ardent Republican. Visiting Gettys burg, he likewise came here on Saturday week and remaining over Sunday, wrote the article for our paper which bears his nom de plume. His letters are intensely de mocratic, "only more so," and no one can resist a laugh at his manner of presenting the farce that party is playing at the con clusion of the Tragedy, carried through so many acts by the Democracy of the South.

Unjust Treatment of Captured Africans ---Serenade and Presentation to the Retiring Captain . General --Preparations to Receive His Successor---Five Spanish Men-of- War on the Watch for the "Flying Dutchman." (Correspondence of the New York HershLl HAVANA, May 26.—From an impartial source I hear of certain transactions which will attract the attention of your readers. "Emancipados" orcappired Africanshave lately been receiving thew carlas de tibertad (certificates of freedom) on condition that they "contract" themselves for a fixed term of years, varying from six to eight, at a fixed rate of wages, say from $4 25 to $6 371 per month. The negrees thus kidnapped, I may say,in dread of being sent to . Fernando Po unless they submit to this newly discov ered bondage, readily acquiesce. It is rumored that a certain personage, still high in authority, has reaped nearly all the benefit of these transactions, although its agency was entrusted to. subalterns. I give you these reports as I got them, from Cubans and Spaniards, without distinction; at the same time I may be permitted to add that a neighbor of mine assures me that he has himself made two such contracts in the space of two months. The issue of the Cronica newspaper of New York brought by the Corsica has been suppressed here and its circulation pro hibited, I am told, on account of an article against the censor here. The Cuban sub sidy of $3,000 sold annually has also been for the time withdrawn from the Cronica. A grand serenade was given to General Dulce on the 21st inst. by the bands of seve ral regiments. The Plaza de Armas was illuminated with two electric lights. The crowd was immense and the streets were blocked up by carriages.. His Excellency appeared several times on his balcony. There were no demonstrationi of enthu siatglif it was a peaceful gathering, an ex pression of gratitude to hi Excellency for his impartial administratiod. On the part of the Cubans this feeling was general. In the course of the evening a committee waited upon his Excellency. headed by Count de Caßongo, who presented him with a magnificent cross of the Order of Carlos 111., ornamented with diamonds, as a me mento of gratitude. The General appeared greatly moved by this evidence of esteem. In answer to Count Callongo's presentation speech be replied as follows: Gcntfemeu: I gratefully accept the friendly souvenir which you present to me. If, du ring the term of my command, I have en deavoredi.o govern with justice and impar tiality, I have in this merely observed the instructions of her Majesty, the Queen as that august lady, with the elevated mind which distinguishes her, enjoined upon me at my farewell audience to govern the in habitants of this wealthy province with the strictest equity, without distinction of par ties, as she sees only Spaniards here and looks upon you all as the sons of one mother. With regard to the elegant present that you have made me, I shall preserve it with pride and bequeath it to my family as an honorable testimony of the affection and friendship of the noble and loyal inhabit ants of. Cuba The new Captain General is now hourly expected. The usual preparations have been made for his reception. The moment he arrives a committee will wait upon his Excellency to know his pleasure as to the hour, - dfc., when he may wish to disembark. The grand barge of the General de &farina will be placed at his Excellency's disposal.. It will be manned by fifteen Biseayan ship masters, and escorted by a large number of boats manned by Biscayan crews. You are aware that General Lersundi is a native of Biscay. Their country'ti banner. with the ancient motto of "Dvrac-Bot." is to wave alongside the Castilian flag. The United States steamship Muscoota, Commander Patterson, which arrived on the 23d from Key West, went to sea again the same day and shortly after returned, as far as the Moro Castle, where the Com niander appeared to "parley" with the offi cer in command; but nobody was able to ascertain the purport of it. It must have been something to warrant the immediate departure of five Spanish men-of-war--the Carmen, Isabel la Catolica, Leon, and two others. All but one returned the following day, without anything being yet known as to what was the cause. _ .All is wrapt up in mystery. I can scarcely believe the Peru vian Ironsides to be in these waters; they will have another fish to fry in the Pacific. The French steamer Sonora, Capt. Lauti neur, from Tampico and Bagdad, arrived in ballait on the 22d, five days out from the latter port. The Spanish schooner-of-war Favorita, of three guns, 130 horse power and one hun dred and three men, commanded by Lieut. Restori Butler, arrived at St. Jago de Cuba on the 16th inst., from Manzanillo. Senor Vicente Galuzzo, one of our ablest sugar brokers, died last week at a good old age. Intelligent, active and honorable, be was the principal broker for years past to the houses of Fesser 4k Co. and Drake Brothers. The.hall yearly interest of the third series of bonds for half a million—a mu nicipal loan applied the Canal of Isabel Begunda—will be paid at the Town Hall on and after the Ist June next. The government is now Issuing a fourth series, of three millions, for goverrment outlays, interest at seven per cent., payable every six months. Markets. The sugar market has been moderately active this week—far from animated; al thoutili some holders have accepted 7/ reals for N 0,12; most of them demanded 7i reals to 8 reds. The last sales that have come to my .knowledge embrace 200 boxes No. 12/ at 7i reale; 225 do No: 11/ at 7i reals; 367 do No. 91 at 7 reals, 40 do No. 8/ at 6/ reale. For the Spanish market fancy prices are paid for special qualities. There is not much doing in freights. To Europe 425. 6d. to 455. are the current figures. There is a limited demand for the United States. $5 50 has been paid on mo lasses, coastwise, for a port north of Hat. texas. Exchange has moderated a trifle, but as the demand continues brisk, the actual rates are well sustained. Sterling closes variously at 17} to 17iiTsr cent premium. Currency on New York at sixty days can be had at 18 to 18 , 1 per cent, discount, and OUR WISIOLE COUNTRY. gold bills are held at 4®5 per cent. pre mium. TEE BOUNTY JUMPING CAM Further Examination---The Evidence of Mayor Cleveland and Others. Mom to-dare New York Herald.] The examination into, the case of James Reilly, wh o has charged James Hughes with having defrauded him out of 0750 bounty money, was resumed yesterday be fore Commissioner Betts. Mayor Cleveland, of Jersey City, was called, and examined by ex-Recorder Smith. He said: I nad to do with the firm of Allen, Reilly & Hughes in recruiting matters; my dealing with those gentlemen was not direct p Peter Reilly was the party I talked to about the price to be paid tor one hundred and sixty-eight recruits; the only knowledge I had of the parties who com posed the firm of Reilly & Co. was from a card on which were printed the names of Allen, Reilly and Hughes. Q. Did you have interviews with a per son named Hawthorne on this matter? [Question obj ected to and ruled out. ] - Witness—never had a conversation with Marcus C. Stanley; I paid on one occasion $66,000 and on another $60,000, and got the receipts from Peter Reilly d Co.; the money was paid for one hundred and sixty eight recruits; the credit was allowed at the time by the mustering officer of Jersey City; I would not have paid the money if I was not told by Colonel Los that it would be al lowed, and that he would deliver to me the muster roll; I got the muster roll at the time, with the allowance for one hundred and sixty-eight men; the muster roll was delivered to the Provost Marshal, H. J. Mills, of the Fifth district; I saw it before it was sealed; I have the receipt of the muster roll; the original was sent to Major-General Fry; I was told by General Fry that he had disallowed the credits because Col. Baker told him the men were deserters, he did not tell me that Colonel Baker got his informa tion from Peter Reilly & Co.; after these credits had' been disallowed the Secretary of War ordered them to be allowed. Q. What persona called on you about the allowance after its disallowance by Gen outeral ] Fry ? [Question objected to, and ruled Q. What persons called en you in refer ence to this matter since the disallowance of the credits, and since the arrest of Peter Reilly A: Co. [The Court ruled out the question as Improper.] Q. Did the counsel of Allen, Reilly, Stan ley or Hughes call on you about the mat• ter,. A. One gentleman, who represented himself as counsel for Mr. Hughes, called on me in Jersey City about twice at the time of Mr. Hughes' arrest. Mr. Stuart—That is Mr. Shupe. Mr. Shupe—Yes. Witness--I think Mr. Shupe on one occa sion showed me a telegraphic despatch in the street; I do not remember that despatch was from the War Department; no one else, as counsel for Reilly & Co., called on me; I paid the $126,000 for one hundred and sixty eight recruits for three years, represented to me by Colonel Baker as having been en listed at Hoboken; a statement appeared in the papers that I had a contract with Peter Reilly tt Co.; I never had a contract with them, either verbal or written. Cross-examined by Mr.Shupe—My object in going into this matter was to fill up our quota; the Provost Marshal told me there was recruiting going on in Hoboken for the Fourteenth United States infantry, and I might get men there; I did not go there; the clerk or the Provost Marshal brought me the card of O'Reilly ct Co., and I drove to their place; at Hoboken I found Lieat.-Col. Buis, who said he belonged to the Four teenth - United States infantry, and that he bad been detailed by the Provost Marshal; the office was guarded by United States soldiers; they denied me admittance; I sent in my card; Mr. Allen came to the office door and admitted me,l inquired for the par ties in charge, and Mr. Allen said he was one of them, and Mr. Reilly was there; they wanted more for the recruits than I was de sirous of giving,.and I went away; subse quently I was informed that if I called again at the office the price would be so adjusted as to meet my views; I did call again, and they declined to furnish the men at my figure; I did not like the look of the place; I asked if Col. Baker knew the office was open, and they referred me to him as the party who had ordered the office open. A consultation here took place between counsel for the defendant, and Mayor Cleveland said all he knew in the matter was stated in a printed pamphlet, which he produced. Mr. Shupe said that if there was a fraud committed in this case it was committed, not by the defendant, but by Col. Baker. ThiS was a prosecution to gratify malice and serve the purpose of gain. He con tended that in this case Stanley, Reilly, Allen and Hughes were as free from any charge as any person on the island of Man hattan. If Reilly was not entitled to this $750 Hughes could not be held for keeping it from him. The following is an extract from the state ment of Mayor Cleveland as contained in the pamphlet which be produced I was referred to Colonel Baker, Astor House, New York, special agent of the War Department; drove over, and Colonel Baker told me the office was all right, and the re cruits I would get there would be good; I remarked that t was afraid of the place, telling him who I was, and •that I was act ing for the public; Colonel Baker then in vited me into his back room, requesting others to leave, and said he should so far in form me of the objects and doings of the office as was necessary to convince me that I need not fear to deal with it; he said that he had employed those persons, Allen, Reilly and Hughes, because they had been in the recruiting business, and understood it; that the whole object of the office was to catch men who had been dishonestly con nected with the recruiting business in va rious ways; said he had great difficulty in laying a plan that would succeed; that General Fry had prepared a plan, but • it would not work; and that he (Colonel Baker) had finally concluded to have an office opened outside of New York but near it, and that the only way to succeed would be to actually muster the men into the service and pay them a bounty, and to do that it became necessary to have an order sent to the Provost Marshal at Newark, and I think he said also at Mor ristown, by General Fry, ordering the men credited in New Jersey, as they would be mustered in in that State; that large "hand money" had been offered, but it did not bring .them till he hit upon the plan of actually allowing those mustered in to bribe the guard to allow them to get away; the men on guard were so instructed; a number had been mustered in, the bounty paid to them, and they allowed by the guard for a consideration to get away, and the effect of this plan was as he had ex pected; the next day the office was thronged with them, desirous to be mus tered in;- that all were mustered that could be examined, till the crowd finding none of those who went in got out,'left, and those mustered in were at that moment in the upper part of the building at Hoboken, and would be moved to Fort Lafayette the next dity! (Sunday); that if I desired to eatisfy myself further I could probably see the order that had been sent to the Provost Marshal, at Newark, by applying to him; I said I was afraid that persons in charge of the office would not give me the names of these men, but would give me false credits; to which he replied that they dared not do that, because he had control over them, the office being opened by him (Colonel Bak.er), and that they were afraid of him, but that, in addition, I had a perfect safeguard in the person of Colonel Ilgis, who was detailed there—a regular officer of the Fourteenth United States Infantry; that if he signed the muster roll it world be safe in any event. Cross-examination of Mayor Cleveland continued—The substance of the telegraphic despatch I saw was that the credits to Jer sey City Were allowed ; I received it as an item of intelligence interesting to Jersey City ; my impression is that Mr. Shupe ap% plied to me to know if I had applied to Gen eral Fry for these credits to be allowed, and stated my case to him, and I said I had; so many persons called on me about this matter it became a nuisance to me, and I said very little to Mr. Shupe about it; I re garded the transacting party as the muster ing officer , and I did not deal with those pasties at all; the statements that I did are entirely false ; I paid $3OO to Colonel Ilgis for eachof these men, as he said he must get this sum as bounty for them before he deliv ered the muster roll. Patrick O'Brien, examined—l enlisted on the 10th of March, 186.5, as a volunteer; had never before been in the United States ser vice; I have a character which shows that I worked for my living; got no bounty; was in Fort Lafayette eight or nine days; was taken there in shackles; saw Hughes at Odd Fellows' Hall, Hoboken; be told me that I would get my money if I went up stairs. Cross- examined—The man inside the door gave my name as James O'Brien; I am not sure that I signed the enlistment papers. Thomas Murphy, examined—l was en listed in March, 1865, at Hoboken; I had not been in the service before; was to get $7.50 bounty; did not get it; was sent to Fort Lafayette in irons; was there ten or twelve weeks. To Judge Stuart—A dollar and eighty cents and a pocketbook were taken from me at Hoboken; I spoke to Colonel Baker about this, but he would not say anything to me; I enlisted under my proper name, Thomas Murphy; the reason I enl is ted in Jersey was because I thought I could get the most money for my time; I saw a card in the paper. David O'Brien and Pat Gleeson gave somewhat similar evidence. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned, the Commissioner stating that he would take bail in $15,000 for theaccused. Bail to this amount was accordingly ten dered. THE FENIANS. Seizure of Ammunition Belonging to the Roberts Party---1 heUnited States Marshal Claims it as Government Property--- History of the Case. THE FENIAN TREASURY. Resignation and Report of the O'Ma hony Treasurer. [From to-day's N. Y. World.] By some means unknown to any one but himself, Marshal Murray, on Tuesday af ternoon, intercepted the following letters: GALVESTON, May 13.—President Roberts —Six—l arrived in New Orleans after a te dious journey on the cars, occupying a ride of seven days and nights. I had the honor of seeing Dr. Wm. Cleary, who introduced me to the "inner circle." I explained mat ter to him as best I could. I assure you the men are very enthusiastic, and there is not anything would give them as much pleasure now as to receive that glorious command- "March to avenge your wrongs." This f say and state from personal experience and not from hearsay. I found my friend, Captain McCarthy, the gentleman who was in charge of. an Eng lish steamer, who expressed himself ready to exchange a Briton's flag for the "harp without the crown." He had given up the steamer when I arrived at New Orleans, and he told me that be would go back and take charge of the steamer again, providing that he received power to act from headquarters. I telegraphed to you for the aforesaid power on the Ist inst., and left New Orleans the same morning for Galveston. I also telegraphed from Warrington Junc tion to my friend here at Galveston ? and stated to him that we had plenty of "pipes" but not a sufficient quantity of "tobacco," and begged him, for God's sake, to obtain all he could of fifty-eight calibre. He,how ever, did not receive my telegram, therefore nothing was done until my arrival here. I telegraphed to you on Monday, the Bth inst., telling you that I could not do anything here inside of two weeks. There was net any ammunition here of that calibre, but I largely invested in 57 calibre. I shall tell you as nearly as possible how things worked. Myself and a friend, I might tell yon at once, the secretary, went to the camp to see how things stood ; got acquainted with the new sergeant, invited him into town that night, and the next day I sallied out and took away as much as the government wagon could carry, and the stuff deposited in a secure place, owned by a Swiss, a gentleman who isa great revolutionist. To make matters short, we took off our coats and went to work; got them securely boxed—ourselves being the carpenters; our secretary marked them all for the proper place, and finally left them ready for the dray. Our hard working treasurer, to whom a good deal of praise and respect is due; took us out to have a little refreshment, when lo ! a messenger came -and told us that the things were missed and that they were after us.
