Central Committee, was thrown into lookup
of the Prefecture of Police and kept there du

How Gustave F1ourens Died.
Versailles Correspondence Of the London Times Apri3
Many of the insurgents changed their clothes
when they found that their retreat had been cut
off. Among the rest the aide-de-camp of Gus
tave Flourens, one of their chiefs, did SO. In
the afternoon, about o'clock, the gendarmes
were searching the village of Chatou, when a
shot came from the window of duberge kept
by man named Ducoq. The gendarmes entered
the house, and when they reached the first floor
one of them received bullet in the shoulder at
! the moment when he was entering one of the
| rooms. His captain, NJ. Desmaret rushed into
the room found the man who had fired the shot
| with revolver in his band and instantly cut
| him down with his sabre. This man was no
| other than Flourens. His aide-ae-camp, an
| Italian named Cypriani, was wounded by q
| sabre cut, and made prisoner. He had assumed
civil attire, but Flourens himself in military
uniform. His dead body now lies at the AM
phitheatre Hospital in this town.
