Germans in America, Bismarck acknowledged in
warm terms the sympathy expressed there.
From the dates of these and other letters it is clear
that the Prussians stop and delay all correspondence
from the front No army letter has been received in
London later than the 18th, except the one from the
special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE on the 10th,
to The TRIBUNE.
On the French side, the campaign against
journalists has been successful than that
against Prussians. OF four of THE TRIBUNE
correspondents first sent, one has been recalled by
the English military authorities, being subject to
Government service; one escaped from Metz and has
joined the Prussian army one was arrested and sent
to the Italian frontier; and one was severely
wounded and is in hospital Three Others since sent,
seem to be more fortunate. One is at Metz, whose
dispatches were sent to THE TRIBUNE on the 18th.
One is at Chaons whose letter is just received and
its substance teegraphed The third left London ON
the 10th, and is not yet heard from.
Another correspondent writes on Saturday 18th :

ordered to leave Metz on Thursday. Arrests of

The special correspondent of THE TRIBUNE at
Ludwigshafen Opposite Mannheim, on the Rhine)
writes on Friday 12th): when the advance guard
of the Southern army arrived near Haguenau, two
ieutenants with handful of cavalry entered the
town. rode through the streets reached the barracks
and summoned the French to surrender. The French
men instantly threw their chassep6ts out of the win
dows and in this manner a few cavalry soldiers
captured 200 prisoners, 100 horses, and 10 wagons
filed with supplies.
Since the battle at Weissenburg, numerous pris-
oners are captured daily. Many also who had fled
to the woods and villages surrender, compelled by
hunger. The country is exhausted. The population
is almost famished. Even the German soldiers
lacked bread one entire day.
The people are bitterly hostile and cruel.
Twenty peasants were shot by court-martial for
mutilating and numbering the wounded member

that one peasaut near her hacked wounded Baya-

ground have been killed by shots from houses.
