Denial of Versailles Victories
The official journal of the Commune
denies the reports emanating from Yer.
sailes of victories for the Assemblies
forces. The Free Masons have been or.
dered to retake the banners which they
had planted on the ramparts of the city,
the Versailles government and troops de-
clining to respect them. --
Paris Volunteers ReoceuPY Fort
'aL @ Issy.
PARIS, May 2, 2 P. M.-The report that
Gen. Dambrowski was taken prisoner is
not confirmed.
The Versaillists have at no time occu-
pied Fort Issy. After the desertion of its
panic stricken garrison, volunteers raise
by the Commune issued from the city
and not only reoccupied the fort, which
they found en- PITY, but after hard fighting
and at a sacrifice of life, drove the enemy
from the renches, carried one of their
barricades, and regained possession of the
cemetery of Issy. They made an at
tempt to retake Les Monterieaux but
failed, losing heavily in killed and wound
ed. Every effort will be made to hold
Fort Issy, but shonld its capture appear
inevitable, it will be blown up.
Expected Attack on NeuiIIy.
PARIS, May 2-Evening New works are
being constructed around Issy, rendering
the fort more formidable than ever. The
enemy's fire to-day has been mainly di.
rected against Portes Des Terres and Lee
vallos. A fresh attack on Neuilly is ex-
pected and reinforcements have boen sent
there. A scaffolding has been erected
around the column in the Place Vendome.
Labor on the internal defenses is ceaseless.
along the Whole Line.
VERSAILLES, May 2.-Cannonading is
going on along the whole line. A breach
has been made Ia the walls of Issy.
In the Assembly to-day Picard said that
important operations were now in progress
and a most important result had been
achieved. ...H

THE CITY
Improvement In. 0raer n, ,n.D.

Improvement the Order OF the Day.
Some people who are given a very little
to old fogyism thought that last season
Just about all the building and other i'm
provements needed, were being built and
made. But since the present season has
opened up, We imagine their eyes must be
gazing in wonder, and possibly their
mouths standing agspe to see, not only the
preparations being made for the coming
season, but the building and improving
actually going on. All through the city
and in Edgefeld many handsome resi-
denees-mostly brick-are in course of
construction, some of them expensive and
beautiful specimens of architecture. We
are of opinion that this season is to supass
any other in actual, substantial progress
and general Improvement.

The defalcation of Gen. Lawrence,
New York Pension Agent, has caused an
order to be issued from the Treasury De-
partment to the Assistant Treasurer of
this city, that all regulations for his
guidance heretofore communicated, by
circulars be strictly enforced. One of
these regulations is that no check shall
be paid unless drawn to the order of some
creditor of the United States. 1t has
been the custom, however, for Pension
Agents TO draw checks to their own Or
der, thus saving the trouble of identify
ing strangers, etc. Gen. Lawrence drew
checks to his own order In this way, and
having obtained the cash upon them,
