TERRIBLE CONDITION OF THINGS IN

TERRIBLE CONDITION OF THINGS IN
PARIS.
VERSAILLES, May 10.-The column
of the Place VendOme will fall on
/ Thursday. There was a sharp en-
| gagement yesterday at the bridge OF
NeuIlly, in which the Communists
were beaten. A breach in the walls
OF Paris is expected TO be practicable
| bv the end OF this week. The Ma
tiOnal Guards and partisans Of the
Commune are discouraged, and il is
rumored there were serious dissen-
siOns between ROssel and the Com
mittee of Safety of the Commune.
Anteuil and Porte du Jour were bonn
barded to-day from MOntrenaut and
Brim BecOn, and the population are
flying, panic stricken, from that pOr-
ton of Paris. The cure Of the Church
Of st. Sulpice has been once more ar
rested by order Of the Commune, and
again discharged from custody. The
Parisians impose fines on those bakers
who are exOrbitant in their charges
for bread. The official journal Of the
Commune to-day reports all quiet in
the vicinity Of Fort Issy.
THE TREATY WITH GERMANY Exc
CUTED.
FRANKFORT ON THE MAIN, May 10.
A definite treaty Of peace between
France and Germany YVES signed to-
day.
FORT D'IssY CAPTURED-FALL OF
PARIS ANTICIPATED.
VERSAILLES, May 1O.-One hum
dred and fifty cannon were captured
in fort D'Issy, fifty of which were
brought to this city. Large quanti-
ties Of ammunition and provisions
were found in the fort; also a cOnsid-
erable quantity Of brandy infused
with tobacco, the latter rendered IA
tai to the wounds of those who drank
it.
The capture Of fort D'Issy causes
terror among the Parisians. The bat.
tery at MOnrenaut continues a furi-
Gus fire upon thesouthwestern portion
of Paris. The Federalists make but a
feeble reply. 1t is claimed by the
Government that the statement of
the Communists that the garrison
escaped from D'Issy before the cap
ture of the fort is untrue.
The Versailles forces are slowly but
surely approaching Paris.
INSIDE VIEWS OF PARIs-CLUsERET
TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.
NEW YORK, May 10.-A dispatch
dated Paris, Tuesday night, says: On
last night the insurgents became con-
WINGED of the impOssibility Of holding
Issy and began an evacuation by the
way of Nanvres to escape the fire of
the enemy, The CannOnsding Of the
enemy became fearful and caused an
explosion in Issy and a great fire in
Nanvres. In the meanwhile the in
sUrgents attempted to attack them in
the direction of Eeuilly, but were
moved down by the government
mitrailleurs. a great slaughter was
caused and the survivors made a
rapid retreat. The cannOnade at
Neuilly was then violent. General
ROssel now refuses the dictatorship,
and accuses the Commune of weak
ness. He complains of the cOWardice
Of troops in Issy, and says instead Of
fighting officers they had talking ones.
ClUseret is to be tried tonight. The
column in the Place NendOme will be
destroyed. Tonight a tricOlOr is
placed over Issy.
