NEw YORK, July GA Paris letter of
the 9th inst. TO the World, whose writer
claims to speak from positive knowledge,
says thirty thousand persons, six thou
sand of them women and hiliren, have
been killed in the assumption of sup
pressing the Commune. He claims that
on the most triding denunciation, and
without the accusers being required TO
sign their information, or 10 be confronted
with their victims, for word, for a ges-
ture, for q sympathy, for political ac-
ton, or for an administrative proceeding;
for refusing to point out where husband
or father ley concealed; for having, in
fine, aroused in the chances of life some
private luminosity, wretched people in in
finite numbers are taken from their homes
and cast into prison Every day Paris is
traversed by long flies OF men OF all con.
diuOns, women and children of ali ages,
chained TO one another, being conducted
to Versailles by the soldiers and police
constables, who strike those who lag be-
hind, and sometimes even kill those
who are unable 10 walk. InaUlted
and beaten on their arrival by
the Versailles mob, they are then thrust
pep-me]l into prisons not large enough
for their accommodation, or put up in
pens in the open air, being obliged to
sleep on the ground in filthy mud without
linen, insuf1ciently clad without nourish-
men:, eaten up by Vermin, separated
from their families, and not so much
cared for as the beasts which are driven
to the slaughterhouse. In this deplOrable
condition they await the gslleys or death.
Those who escape military execution are
crowded into railway carriages, where the
least cry or movement is punished with
death, and are hurried to the forts or the
hulks at the seaport towns, where, since
the fret cargo arrived, their mortality mas
been forty per cent The number of
prisoners is estimated at 10000 already,
and it is being augmented every day. 1t
will increase still more, as extirpation is
to be the fate of every Communist who
fought during the instruction The pO-
lice, who are the masters of the situation,
affirm that they still want 90 600 cen
