the province of Alsace and that part

On the evening of Monday, Jan.
uary %, flag of truce left the
French lines and was met by the
Germans. The bearer delivered a
letter from Jules Favre addressed to
Count Bismarck. At noon the mis-
sive reached Versailles and was
placed in the hands of Bismarck.
1t requested permission for Favre to
come to Versailles. Bismarck replied
that he might. At ten o'clock the
same night the Prussian Premier
applied to the Emperor of Germany
for permission to hold an interview
with him. Favre spent the night at
the quarters of the Lieutenant OF
Police. Next day before noon, Jan
uary "a, council of war was held
to consider Favre's mission. Gen.
Won Room, Count Bismarck, Gen.
Won Moltke and the Crown Prince
of Prussia were present, in addition
to Emperor William who presided.
The council lasted two hours, and
the result of the deliberation was
communicated to Favre, who re-
turned to Paris at half-past four
o'clock the same evening. As he
was being driven in his carriage
down the avenue leading to the Sew
res road, Bismarck who was taking
his daily ride, encountered him,
turned his horses heads and rode
along conversing with Favre all the
way to the town gates.
1t is understood that Favre asked
that the army of Paris be allowed to
march out with full honors and take
up a position in some unoccupied
district of France under his man
agement, and not resume hostilities
for term of--months, and that
there be no triumphal entry of the
Germans into Paris. These terms
were refused by the council, which
informed Favre that the only basis
of surrender would be the same as
that of Sedan and Metz.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 81.
The capitulation of Paris has
been signed. Terms, the surrender
of the garrison and the summoning

LONDON, Jan. 27.
Favre was consulting with Bis
marck all day. At midnight Bis
marck carried his point. The capt.
ulation involves peace and the ces-
sion of Alsace and German Lorraine
and part of the fleet; a money in
demnity to be guaranteed by the
municipalities; portion of the Ger
man army to return home and the
war to cease. 1t is necessary that
some territory be retained to secure
the fulflment of the compact. The
mobiles are to be sent home and the
Germans enter Paris. The Emper-
or will return Immediately to Ber-
lin.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 80.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.
Secretary Fish has received the
following telegram from Mr.. Moran,
charge d'affaires at London, dated
London, Sunday morning, Jan. 80:
sThe German ambassador here
has officially informed me that the
capitulation of all the Paris forts,
and an armistice of three weeks by
land and sea, was signed about eight
o'clock last evening, at Versailles,
by Count Bismarck and Jules Farre.
The army of Paris will remain pris-
oners of war in the city, but it is
not known whether they are to be
disarmed or not. No details have
yet been received. Count Berustofi
thinks it an important fact that the
armistice extends over the sea, and
that it should be made known as
widely as possible"
