PARIS. May Is. 1871.
Gloom pervades the capital. The Communists are
beginning to despair The loss of Issy and yanvres,
The preaching OF the ramparts at Auteull, the pre-
sence Of the government troops in tho Bots de
Boulogne, the heavy bombarding at this hour, the
discussions in the Commune and the defiant atti-
tude OF twenty-five OF its members, the chaos at the
War ONCE, the supremacy OF the Committee Of Public
Safety the terrible explosion Of yesterday and Its
attending loss OF life and ammunition, arbitrary
acts from hour to hour, pilagng, the absolute lack
Of responsibility attaching 10 any one for military
disasters-these and q thousand minor causes rem.
der it certain that
THE SOLUTION Is DRAWING NEAR.
The Commune began last week by alternating
many OF It's supporters III destroying M. Theirs
house in the Place ST. George followed by the de-
moton or the Column Vend6me. Since then Its
only commendabe action has been in supporting
the Mayor Of the Second ACCOMPLISHMENT in suppress
sing female vice in The public Streets 1t is curious
that some of the men who at first gave the popula-
ton confidence that property would be destroyed
now In power One after another they have
either been displaced or imprisoned and the ex-
tremer ana more dangerous classes have come TO
the surface Pedestrians cease to command respect
in the highways, and ten chances to one you may
be stopped and nsuted in many parts OF the city by
some drunken novice dressed up as marine. The
revolution has thus reached It's darkest phase, and
unless there Is some sudden reaction Paris must be
AN ABoMINABLE HE'LL.
Last night in front OF the Cafe dc la Pax | saw
an intoxicated tailor held back and restrained by
crowd lest he might shoot unoYending old man
who had been enjoying his freedom Of speech. This
is q common case. Foreigners are no longer
respected, and many American houses have been
paa ed and Quilted. II you are seen lounging about
in the presence of some soldiers OF the Commune
you are insoently invited to enlist as soldier.
