LONDON, July 90, 1871.
have paid visit to-day to Dr. Karl Marx. the
Corresponding Secretary OF the International So
clety for Germany AMI Holland. found nim at his
house, nea! little villa In Maitland PARK where
he Is just now very busily engaged in receiving and
assisting escaped Communists who find their way to
London and who are for the most part destitute OF
the means OF existence. He seemed disposed to
talk very freely about the Commune and the Inter-
national and willing to have his views gwen to the
world through the columns OF the NEW YORK
HERALD, although re- bames that paper severely for
The principles sustained By during the course of
the Communal struggle. Having seen some OF u,y
letters In the HERALD concerning Dombrowsky he
remarked that was very much In the wrong 20
suppose that DombrOweky Was the only man the
Commune had produced: that he could point 10 many
equally .ouest and brave although they mad not pro-
badly distinguished themselves lie mad done; that

the course OF The conversation. asked his
OPINIONS RESPECTING TIE rEoMISENT LEADERS or
THE COMMUNE,
ihey coincded most strangely with nv own, az
already EXPRESSED at various times toe columns
Of the HERALD-a fact which was noticeable in the
course CT the conversation that followed. lie In
formed me that DOmDrowsky' brother, who was IN
command at Asneres when the Versailles troops
entered at the Auteuii Gate, had escaped and was
now In London, safe ana well, as was Rosveesky,
Wobcssy's chief or staff aud many others whom
had seen during tGose dark ana bloody DAYS.
NO INFORMATION ABOUT ESCAPED CHIEFS.
To my question as to which or the insurgcnt
chiefs had escaped ard winch still IN Paris he
declined answering, many OF them, although
capped from Faris, were not vet out Of danger, ana
ne did not wish to gre the Versailles naoachards
any clue as 70 their Whereabouts.
