der Bruner, Of the Commune, was at the

and shot dead, as also was his mistress.
Tventy.four hours after the shooting
some officers returned to search the pre-,
misses and seek to fnd papers. as his mis-
:ress was very intimate with oertain
Prussian Minister Their suspicious
were much aroused as they entered.
They were struck with nstonishment to
see the unfortunate woman alive, though
weltering in her blood. She was re-
moved at once to an ambulance,,, No
mercy has, 30 far, been shown to women;
wherever they have been caught, they
havo been treated with all the cruelty
imaginable. especially during the first
three days. ~,

the day he was shot was the fourteenth

sincere Republican aud left hosts OF
warm friends: On Sunday, at 8 o'clock,
the body Of Dclesouze was to be seen ut
the Place du Chateau d'Eau. Several
Americans were among the spectators at
the terrible scene. The little garden OF
the ''Tour ST. Jaques," on the Boule-
ward Sebastopol,f was mass of dead
bodies awaiting burial. The omuibuses
OF L'Odeon and Batignolle were EN-
ployed in removing them. The barri-
cadee in the vicinity we're also in dread
ful state from the dead bodies, hnlf
covered, lying therein. This little green
square. 80 filed with trees, flowers and
shrubs, a few days since, is now tnrned
into O burial ground. Over 1000 nre
already buried there. Large trenches
are dug, and twenty bodies thrown into
each trench: also, quick lime in large
quantities. Even the women and chill
dren killed in the fray ore thrown in
these trenches together. The feeling
towards the Germans is more hostile than
ever. Some proofs and rumors tend to
admit that the Prussians havo had
hand in the civil war. I take the follow
| ing from the Paris Journal, of May %:
The smoke OF our war with Prussia ex-
cited the desires OF .adventurers aud
! brought all ut once in our great and un-
fortunate capital specimens of all Eu-
ropean races. One ooald see fling along
our streets before our eyes Russians,
Italians, Greeks, Valaques, Belgians.
Hollanders and few abandoned Turks;
bnt above oil, tho Poles. Truly we had
the scum Of Europe. and among them
more than one friend OF NJ. Bismarck
and more than one agent of Bonapart-
ism, and III neither case are they ex-
empt from being Communist or an in-
cendiary."
