Paris, March is, 1911.
The proclamation has had bad effect. The
troops are going rapidly over to the side of the
rioters and handiog over their ammunition.
Several guns which had been taken from the in
surgents at Montmartre were given back by the
regular troops, and it was even reported that
five new cannon had been captured by the in
surgents. Barricades are now being thrown up
in all directions in the disturbed districts, of
carts, and of stones torn up from the streets.
All carriages passing along were Immediately
emptied and overthrown. The National Guards
in the cause of the Government formed lines
across the Rue de la Paix and in front of the
Hotel de Vile, and also before the house of
NJ. Theirs, as well as other prominent points.
All passage was denied to everybody through
those thoroughfares At three this afternoon
the Place de la Bastile was covered with depu-
tations, arriving with crowns of immortelles.
At four o'clock, in the Place Chateau d'Eaux
there were strong bodies of Nation al Guards
marching into the barracks Prince Eugene.
They were received with cheers by the troops
of the line.
Shortly after this Generals Clement Thomas
and Lecomte were arrested and murdered, in
the manner described yesterday in the letters of
our correspondents. At 5 o'clock barricades
had been erected at the Rue Plat, near the
Theatre de la Villette, Rue Vincent Faubourg
du Temple. Faubourg st. Martin, Place Blanche,
Rue du Chemin Vert and at the corner of Rue
Pepincourt. Several soldiers of the line de-
Tended the latter barricade. At o'clock
mixed crowd of National Guards, the Line, and
other insurgents, marched on the Place Ven
dome. The officer commanding there ordered
the men to load, and told the insurgents he
would fire. After disputing for some time, the
latter retired for reinforcements of National
Guards. The troops, however, declared they
would not fire on their comrades but would go
home and their commander, finding remon-
STRANGE useless, dismissed his men.
FLIGHT OF THE THEIRS GOVERNMENT.
10 P. MA report just published on the part
of the government, that it has abandoned the
city, has intensified the excitement. At this
hour the insurgents, finding no opposition, have
virtually seized possession of the city. The shops
are shut, except the wine shops, which are filed
with insurgents In various states of drunken
ness Barricades have been thrown up in all
directions, men, women, and children working
hard. The pavement is torn up. terrific bar
rlcade has been erected at the top of the Fau-
6ourg ST. Denis, opposite to the St. Lazare
| Women's Prison. The National Guard are forced
| all to work or to leave the streets. The Chateau
dEau is crowded with Nationals under arms,
yiyandieres plying the soldiers with drinks.
Drunken men lie about fondling loaded rifles,
and others are sleeping helplessly on benches,
with clasped rifles in their drunken embrace.
Women are armed; mob law is triumphant.
Peaceable citizens hurrying homeward terri
| ded, are stopped at the barbados. In every
quarter of the city the rappel is beating and the
bugles sounding-the excitement general and
immense. The report that National Guards are
| lighting in the Place Hotel de Vile is not true
merely rife discharged by accident. Barri-
cades are thrown up in the neighborhood The
theatres are closed, except Palais Royal. The
/ Municipal Guards in force, with arms, baggage,
pd twenty ambulance wagons, followed by two
INIGiments of the Line and a squadron of mounted
f icipal Guards. are supposed to be en- route
