Saturday night, in an attempt to escape
The trials Of the Communist leader
taken alive will commence during the
present week. Their conviction Is in
eVltable. It Is generally believed every
one will suffer death. After a desperate
and bloody conflict, the Government
forces succeeded i'd capturing the insur
gent positions at Bellville and Pere La
Chalse late Saturday night, The firing
then ceased, and Yesterday morning, OF
the troops advancing on one OF the posi-
tions yet held by the forces of the Com
mune, the insurgents hoisted the white
flag and surrendered In q body. They
were Immediately dislrmod, and the great
rebellion in Paris of 1871 Is ended.
The Thlrthy.eight regiment of the
line, belonging to McMahOn's army, re.
turned to Versailles in triumph, the men
having flowers and branches in the muZ-
zles of their rifles, and bearing also a
magnificent banner of red silk, captured
from the Communists.
Gen. VinOy has been appointed Cover.
nor Of Paris by NJ. Thera II has been
proposed rs a temporary measure, TO di.
vide the Capital into twenty military
districts, each TO be strongly garrisoned.
This arrangement will be maintained un.
I'll order has been completely restored and
the passions aroused by the insurrectiOn
have disappeared.
Owing To the admirable plan adopted
by McNahOn for Stormlng tile barricades
held by the insurgents, the Versailles
troops did not suffer heavily during the
seven days fighting In the streets OF Paris.
The loss TO the army altogether was only
1884, while, according TO the most rella.
BILE estimates, the losses Of the insurgents
was over fifteen times as great.
II Is stated upon good authority that
among the important persons held as
hostages In the prison Of La Roquet, who
were murdered, were ten nuns. On Satur.
day the insurgent prisoners at Sartoroy
made desperate effort TO escape. They
set fire TO the straw given them to sleep
on, and In the confusion which followed
the breaking out Of the flames 85 effected
their escape. OF this number "a have
been recaptured.
The French Government will ask the
extraditiOn oi all the Communist chiefs
who have already taken or who may take
refuge in England, as under the French
law they arc regarded as criminals who
come within the terms Of lhe exlraditiOn
treaty. ..,...... ....
A dispatch from Paris last night says
tiremen from Antwerp arc now entering
Paris. The fire In the Hotel Dleu has
been extlnguished Paschal and Grous.
set, two Of the principal leaders In the
insurrectiOn, have not been discovered.
II Is believed they are alive and hiding.
Since = O'Clock last night, when the entire
city may be said TO have been in the
hands OF the Versailles troops, priests
and cabs are again making their
appearance on thestreets. This morning
the firing ceased, and the Commune Of
the great rebellion gave It's last gasp.

now passing through Rue La Fayette.
