London, Jan. 90 Though the fact of the
terms of capitulation has not yet been Off
cially confirmed, still is generally believed
and the more strongly, in official circles, that
terms of capitulation have been submitted by
Favre to Bismarck. So manifest is it that the
alleged terms are freely canvassed at all the
clubs and in official circles. All the news
papers and all the telegraph dispatches that
are published to-day leave this fact of capitu-
lation in doubt There is however no paper
that proposes to doubt it, and there are many
indications that the announcement is only
withheld from the public until the actual
terms can be ascertained.
Their report that Bonapartists interests are
at work is undoubtable. And there are indi-
cations that the prominent officials are being
interviewed for the purpose of lending their
aid to this scheme.
Everybody is wishing for the assembling of
Parliament when something may be done as
well as said, which will put an end to this
dreadful suspense as to peace or war.
