morrow. The Commune are barricading | I
every street. They have more than TO- 7
900 desperate men well commanded, and | @
the work of carrying the barricades will | n
be fearfully bloody. Your correspondent |
to-day has again interviewed the Central | II
Committee. They confessed their dis /,
appointment and disgust at the work of
the Commune, which has aped the revo. | c
lutionists of 1898. They say their folly | u
will ALLEVIATE the provinces and array all | n
the world sgainst us. We must resume ! :.
the power we entrusted to the Commune.
They are incapable of legislsting or direct
ing military operations. We who created | h
them must set them aside. Nothing is | q
left for us now but to annihilate Yer | q
sailles or be annihilated. Unless we over | Il
throw Versailles we and the Republic are | F
forever lost. IN
