War Notes.


Many bridges around Paris were blown
up Wednesday, the woods set on fire, and
houses likely to shelter the enemy de.
stroyed. Lt3
England will do nothing for France,
but treats the appeals of the nsscent Re.
public with contempt. The mission OF
Theirs is an acknowledged failure, and
the war must go ON to the end.
The Prussians are pumping the
water out of the moat around Strasbourg,
and it is reported they are preparing to
send up balloons from which to drop nitro.
glycerine into the French magazine.
The first rumor in regard to the dis.
astrous explosion at Loan, after the sur
render of the place, was that it was blown
up by the Russians. Afterwards it wal
said that the magazine had been fred by
the French. The later accounts indicate
that the terrible affair was the result o.
an accident. . #.8m
1t is considered almost certain al
Brussels that Prussia will refuse to enter
tain the proposition looking to an armis
tice, mainly because it would delay tn,
army operations, in case the negotiation
were unsuccessful, until an unfavorabl,
season sets in, and render the situation o
the army much less advantageous. ..
The cause of the explosion at Laon
whereby the citadel was destroyed, il
still a mystery, though the Project of thu
Department and number of prisoner
have been subjected to a rigid examina
ton by Baron Won Moltke.

The Ace'sd' NattOnat remarks on the proclama-
tion of King William t. the French, and declares
the intrinsic evidence Is In favor OF the document
being genuine. IL says:-
The authenticity OF this document has formed the
subject OF doubts which we, however, do
not share. The Kings language ia quite
IN accordance with probability; It Is perfectly
the rrussian semLo Aicial press from the yery
beginning OF the conflict. The German Journals
never considered the war as anything else than dy-
nastlc on the part OF the French government. and
not national one. But King William goes stll fur
ther: strong IN the support which he has met with
he would like to reduce the struggle into simple
military duel with the French army. or all the In
suits which have been done US there is none more
deadly than that which pretends to separate the
cause OF the nation from tie rate OF our brave and
admirable soldiers, who were never more truly an
meni. To the appeal OF the King OF Prussia, France
will reply with the cry 'TO arms!" 40 armsp'
The Lfoerte Is extremely indignant at finding that
several journals at Berlin publish, as If by common
arrangement, an article which contains tie follow
ing passage:-
pride and indemnify Germany by anneXlng Lorraine
10 Bavaria and Alsace to the grand duchy of Ba-
den erected into Kingdom, with Strasbourg for the
capital"
ON this the Ltbeyte remarks:-
They ayow it, then They are bent on humiliat-
ing us still more; they are resolved to reduce our
territory. Alsace must become the pasture land OF
the Grand Duke OF roulette, and Strasbourg the hon
est city, must be the capital OF the gamblers, having
Baden for its branch! But let US reckon with King
his designs TO annex Lorraine 70 the Kingdom OF
Bavaria Is to tear from Francs these four de.
and Sarreguemines; the Meurthe, with Nancy
Luneyllle and Tout the Meuse, with Bar-le
ees, with Epinal, Mrecourt, St. Die. TO annex Al
SAGE to the grand duchy of Baden Is to deprive
France OF these two other departments-theB Bas khn
lIaguenau, The Haut-lshn, with Colmar, Muhausen,
Belior and Altkirch. But In order thus to pay the
fddltng King who relgns ut Munich and the gam
bling one at Baden the price OF their completely the
armies OF KING william must first crush those OF
France. Let no one. therefore, feel any illusion.
The struggle Is gigantic, decisive. The downfall OF
