BISMARCK INTERVIEWED By A TRIBUNE
CORBEsrON0sDEsG.,
New York, Sept. 6.-Thc Tribmac's cor
respondent had an interview, with Bismarck
at the Kings headquarters, near Sedan, on
the 81. In response to his inquiry, "Wha
were likely To be the Conditions of peace de-
nanded by the King Of Prussia" the Count
replied: "There are three ways Of stopping
an attack on the Rhine provinces.
"FTa, We might make Als.,cc and Lor.
rainc a neutral State, like Luxembourg al
Belgium, extending from the former country
to Switzerland, and 50 separating France and
Prussia by group Of neutral States. Bu
confess il appears To me, that, creatin: and
maintaining the neutrality Of small States i
already so difficult To protect, and Is every
moment exposed Ia 80 many dangerous com
pIications, that ! do not think it would ;,
worth while to make more neutral State.
with such new difficulties and dangers.
"!Socond, We ought 10 annex AL<ace ant
Lorraine and hold them rs conquered terri
tory, hut ] am sure this would not BE- looked
ON favorabIy by a majority Of my German
fellow countrymen. We are all most anxiO,l.
to complete our unity, hut VIC do not want any
people among us who are unwilling mem
hers Of the German nation, and, that TIN
Russians wa,h he the most disloyal sub.
jects Of the King of Prlssia, in despite Of the
great majority Of them speaking the German
language and being of tcttonic origin, tl,cr,
can he no doubt. -.t.r
"IRird, There remains 10 us, as a third
source, to take Metz and Strasburg and I,
keep thean.: This IA what We shall do
Strasburg, particularly, is absolutely nec'iful
for the protection Of South Germany which
Is at the mercy ofthe French army. So long a.
France possesses Strasburg there is moth
ing 70 stop French invading army. Nov
il would he very unfair if we were to leave
our South German brethren unprotected,
after they have fought so devotcdly and 81
well by our side in this campaign. Then,
again, by holding Strasb,lrg We could Away,
prevent any movement on the Rhine. We
should be able not only to march an army by
the valley Of the Name o,, Paris, hat 70 take
a French army marching on Mayence OF
Coblentz in flank and rear. So we have
bcsieged StraSburg vigorously, AMI. when nc
have got that old German town hack again
We shall make Gibralter of it"
