The Slaughter at Hue.
LONDON. Oct. 20.-Pierre Lote, aD officer of
the French expeditionary force in Tonquin,
sends to the Paris Figaro a description Of the
fall of Hue. The beaten Anamites were
cooped in the burning village. The only road
of escape from the flames lay under the guns
of the fort, which was filed with sailors armed
with Krapotehak repeating rifles The men
looked on, waiting until flank movement OF
the other troops aud the firing of the bamboo
huts should drive the human quarry out before
them.
We saw them halting at the end of the vii
lage; then, after few moments hesitation,

Some tried to escape by swimming lagoon.
These were killed i'll the water. Some good
divers remained long time under water.
Our men continued to kill them all the same
when they came up to breathe like seals. The
men then amused themselves counting the
dead-50 on the left, so to the right. In the
village were small heaps. With those killed
in the Southern forts, about 800 or 1,00o must
have been disposed of.
Abont O'Clock in the morning all was over,
and the rout of the Anamites was complete.
The heat was intense, and the sailors maddened
by the sun and the noise, quivering with ex-
element, rushed out of the fort after the
wounded. Our men slaughtered them with
bayonets or Drained them with the butt end of
their muskets. The sailors were quite ul-
recognizable. They were absolutely madmen.
The officers attempted to restrain them and
said to them: "You ought to be ashamed of
such cowardly, dirty work" They replied:
THE Anamites are savages. They carried the
head of Capt. Riviere on the top of pole,
and, if they carried the day, they would cut
the French to pieces or saw them swithin two
planks." There was no reply possible to this.
1t was true; and so they were left to their grim
work.
