The Count then dwelt upon the fact that
a dispatch from a Prussian source made
no mention of these French victories.
The remarks of the Minister were re-
eeived enthusiastically by the Deputies.
The London Times, in its article on
the situation, says the road to Paris is
open to the Grown Prince, who may
leave Frederick Charles to watch Ba-
zaine.
A Hamburg letter says the people
there are quite reconciled to the block
ade, adapting business to its require
ments.
The Morning Post says, semi-oficially,

treat until she Is done retreating. All

French army has been separated by the
victory of the Prussians at Mars le Tour.

and second German armies, under
Prince Frederick Charles and General

PARIS, August 10.
The journals this morning say that 10
Prussian spies have lately been arrested,
and after trial and condemnation by a
council of war they were shot at Fort de
Maltrouge. Among the executions were
5 officers. Three spies were disguised,
and were taking notes of the plans of
the Notifications.
PARIS, August Is.
The following has just been made
public:
GENERAL HEADQUARTERS,
August 1916 pm.
A battalion of the I'D regiment de-
stroyed O Prussian regiment of l%ancers,
and took its colors. There have been
many brilliant coyalry charges, in one of
which Gen. Legrande was killed at the
head of his division. Gen. Montague is
missing.
The Prussian Generals Deoring and
Wedel were killed, and Generals Gautier

of the position previously occupied by
the enemy.
On the morning of the 18th several
combats with the rear guard took place,
near Gravelotte.
The force of the enemy in the battle of
the 10th may be estimated at $50, 900.
We have not yet exact figures of our
losses.
PARIS, August Is.
The report that the wife of Laboeuf is
a Prussian, is contradicted.
The authorities continue to arrest sus-
pected parties. Many discoveries have
been made of arms and papers, demon
strating a widely extended system of
Prussian spying throughout France. The
public is greatly excited by these develop
ments, and demand the severest punish
ment be meted to the offenders.
Dispatches from Brittany mention the
patriotic ardor of the entire population
volunteering in all parts of the En-
pire is constant and enthusiastic.
The Figaro to-day has the following
details of the battle Of Longeville: The
battle occurred on Sunday. Half of our
army, which was about 200, 900 strong,
were passing the Moselle at that place
on one bridge. The Prussians made a
mistake, and attacked about an hour too
soon. The corps Of Generals LIE Admit
rault and Decin were able to face the
enemy in about half an hour from the
time the first attack was made. The
Prussians had evidently a plan of the
Notifications at Metz, but which appa-
rently did not contain any indication of
Fort Quentin; for in trying to avoid Fort
st. Julien they marched directly toward
Fort Quentin, which, when they came
within easy range, opened with artillery
a destructive fire on them. In their
confusion the Prussians retreated, and
came within range Of the guns of Fort
st. Julien, which opened fire-increas-
ing the loss of the enemy. The Prus-
slams then attacked another part of our
position, which was defended by only
one regiment of infantry and a masked
battery of mitrailleuse. The latter i'm
mediately uncovered and made great
havoc in the ranks of the Prussians.
The battle closed at half-past 7 in the
evening-having lasted from 4o'cloek.
We had about 1000 killed, and perhaps
as many wounded.
