THE RED REVOLT.
Collapse of the Commune
The Closing Scenes of the Struggle
Terr; Mb Encounters ia the
Streett of Parig
The City in
Flames.
The following extracts from late foreign
papers show the final struggle in Paris to
have been even more desperate and destruc
tive than was represented in the cable des
patches: PARIS IN FLAMES BURNING OF THE TOILEBIE9.
"oris (May 24) Correspondence London Times.
At dark I climbed upon the top of the
Hotel Chatham, and a sight, such, I trust, as
I never may see again, met my view the
southwest of Paris was a sheet of flame, and
I began to fear that the menaces which we
had scoffed at as idle threats were about to
become a terrible reality. From Auteuil to
Montrouge the heavens were lit up by a series
of conflagrations which died away in sul
phurous smoke only to burst forth again with
a loud report, and spread still farther west
ward. We were at a loss to conceive what
could be on fire. Passy seemed smouldering
slowly, the real bluze being more in
the direction of Luxembourg. It
shot up in showers of sparks, revealing
a dark mass of dome that loomed black
against the sky. This we took to be the
Pantheon, and rejoiced in the fact that the
river lay between ns and the advancing tide
of ilame. The smoke spread slowly, but
surely, and some one announced that the Pan
theon had caught fire. We saw light shining
through the roof, and presently an immense
jet of flame shot straight up into the sky, re
vealing a form which was at onoe reoognized
as the central pavilion of the Tuileries. A
cry of horror burst from the lips of the peo
ple who had assembled on the roof at the dis
covery of the terrible truth, and we gazed
fascinated as the flames licked rapidly the
mass of buildings, shooting up from time to
time in long forked tongues, accom
panied by heavy white clouds of
naphtha-smelling smoke. Although at bo great
a distance from the scene of operations, we
could hear the roar and the clatter of shiver
ing slates and rafters, while we were so well
, lit np in our position on the roof that bullets
began to whistle in our direction, probably
from the Linesmen on the Opera-house, who
took us for members of the Commune cele
brating our hideous victory. Shells whizzed
past ub, rattling down in neighboring streets,
and we began to feel our situation precarious.
By this time the great Pavilion was a mere
skeleton of golden light cut by ourved ribs
of black, and crowned by a square gallery.
It reminded me somewhat of St. Peter's when
illuminated, St. Peter's, of course, appearing
as a toy in contrast. I continued to
Btare, Bcarce daring to believe my eyes,
when suddenly there was a vivid light;
the Pavilion had sunk in with a crash, and a
stream of sparks flew straight into the
heavens, literally mixing with the stars.
(Steadily the fire advanced with a certainty
that indicated the presence of petroleum in
large quantities, and we were forced to admit
at last that the great collection of the Louvre
was to be sacrificed. Fortunately the pictures
of the Italian school are hidden away, but
who shall replace the antique statues the
Venus of Milo and the Polyhymnia that
are destined to be destroyed by the
diabolical spite of the madmen who
have been a terror to ns for so long. The sight
and the reflections which it engendered were
so awful as to blind us to the presence of
other conflagrations that were springing up
along the line. A huge red bar like a giant
f xiiace indicated that a large portion of the
Quartier St. Germain was being destroyed,
while a light in the Palais Royal and another
in the Luxembourg suggested the idea that all
Paris was indeed to be destroyed, and that at
any moment our own quarter might be sent
into the air through the agency of powder or
petroleum in the sewers which run under the
principal thoroughfares. Sick at heart I lay
down, to be awakened shortly after by vio
ent detonations.
RAISING THE BARRICADES.
Pari Correspondence of the London Timet.
The rapidity with which the barricades
sprang up on Monday (22d ult.) was per
fectly amazing. One passed down a street
one hour without difficulty, but, coming back
the next, found a barricade some three or
four feet high already rising across it, and
not to be approached, as every civilian who
came near was expected to lend a hand in
making it. This was, indeed, the problem of
the morning how to get about without being
seized and impressed into barrioade-buuaing,
A regular trap was laid for unwary passers
by, and it was amusing to watch, from a safe
distance, the process by which tuey wore
caught. A sentry, placed so far from the bar
ricade as not to excite suspicion, did not take
any notice of them as they advanced towards
it, but when, on getting up to it and seeing
their danger, they tried to turn, he politely
informed them that there was no objeetion to
their staying where they were, but as to going
back, that was out of the question. Mean
time, his comrades came up and carried oil'
their victims in triumph to the barricade,
occasionally cutting short all resistance or
argument by pointing bayonets and even re
volvers at them.
PARIS AiUZOKS AND CHILDREN AMONG THE
PRISONERS.
Paris Correspondence London Seise .
Among the prisoners marched into Ver
sailles were a company of the Amazons of the
Seine, and a battalion of patriotic children
The former were dressed as vivandieres
Borne who had shown themselves restive wars
handcuffed. One had a child strung on her
back. The arm of another was in a sling,
The habit-shirt of another pretty brunette
vas covered with fresh blood. Another
Amazon was wounded. They all 'shovel
symptoms of fatigue, bnt still woro a defiant
air, and did not seem to belong to the class
with which the Magdalen asylums are peopled.
All were not young; inaeea, matrons were
more numerous than maidens in this baud of
female warriors. They were f oread to wilk
at a quick pace under the broiling sun, by a
troop of mounted gendarmes. Tneir i advent
in the streets of Versailles was the cause of
much mirth among the people. Oae stout
old woman, who responded to the smile of
the by-standern by disrenynefnl putoiniiuj,
'was bailed as Mere DucltHime. Ia one de
tachment of 200 National Guards, 10 of thjm
were children not 12 years old. Tne young
patriots seem to feel that the eyes of Europe
were npon them, and posed accordingly.
ILey wore the uniform of the National
Guards.
rEISONIBS MURDERED FEBOCTTX OF THB IABIS
WOMEN.
Paris Correspondence (May 84) of the London Time.
A gentleman whose word is beyond dispute
told me that be witnessed from an upper
window the storming of the barrioade on the
Boulevard Malesherbes, and that ne saw with
his own eyes the rebels lifting the butts of
their muskets in token of surrender, whioh
canned tho linesmen to advanoe aoross the
barricade. No sooner did they approach
within a few paoes than the muskets were
suddenly reversed, and a plunging fire laid
some fifty of them writhing in a heap. This
morning, while walking on the line des Petits
Champs, I saw a soldier fall, struck by a bullet
from an unseen hand. An offioer who was
fiassing told me that many men had lost their
ives in this manner, and that the delinquents
were instantly shot, lie also told me that
at the Batignolles barricade yesterday a
woman went up to the officer in command to
ask a question, and that before he had com
pleted his answer she had drawn a revolver
and shot him through the head. The soldiers
were ho infuriated that they forgot her sex
and riddled her with bayonet thrusts.
Among the 20 persons who were exeouted
this morning at the corner of the Rue lloyale
two were women. I Baw myself four men
taken possession of at 8 o'clock this morning
close to the Magasins du Louvre. They were
kicked and cuffed until they reached the
Palais Iloyal gate, and there against the burn
ing house they had their hands tied, and were
foroed to kneel. A woman rushed from the
crowd with a scream, and, clinging to one of
them, announced herself his sister. She was
ruthlessly torn away and carried back to the
throng, while a dozen soldiers advanced and
calmly Bhot them down; a piece of torn carpet
was thrown over their remains, and every
man went about his business as though
nothing unusual had occurred. Escorts with
prisoners are continually passing about the
streets followed by a jeering mob, which
counts more women than man among its
ranks women who hoot and clap their hands,
and insult their victims to their hearts' con
tent. Verily, it was with truth that Voltaire
declared that a "Parisian woman was half
tiger and half monkey!"
A SUMMARY EXECUTION.
Versailles (Kay 25) Corres. of the London Sews.
I noticed that there were many old men
among the prisoners. Friends accounted for
this by explaining that the greybeards of the
Paris ateliers took up arms to stimulate the
young men. When the juniors showed a
tendency to take to their heels, they rushed
to the post of danger, lhey belong tothe
old-fashioned class of Paris emeutiersho,
at the bidding of the bourgeoisie, desoended
into the streets, chased Charles a, and, pro
voked by the same bourgeoise, threjr up bar
ricades, from which they were dislodged by
General Cavaignao. The whole way to Sevres
the road was crowded witn trains of wagons,
ambulance vans, policemen, and cavalry
escorting prisoners. To show the bitter
ness of feeling among military men at Ver
sailles, I may mention that when one
of four field officers in conversation ex
pressed a wihh to see the prisoners handed
over for the benefit of science to the
professorB of vivisection, the other three ap
plauded the idea. While talking a young
officer entered the cafe to refresh himself
with a glass of beer. He was in command of
a convoy of prisoners going to Satory, and
said he had ridded his country of some of the
scoundrels. One from fatigue, one from
weakness, and two who were sulky had sat on
a bank. He ordered them to get up directly
if they did not want to be shot. "Shoot us,"
replied one of the prisoners. "I will, take you
at your word, my good fellow, tne captain
answered, "and I shall consider those who do
not get up directly to be of the same mind as
you." No one moved. The firing party was
quickly told off, and the four men were
corpses in another instant. The captain was
highly commended by his brother offioers for
his firmness, and when he had gone all fell
to-praising bim.
INDISCRIMINATE SLAUGHTER.
Paris Corresjiondenee of the London Times.
A harmless citizen was calmly struck with
a bayonet in the Hue de la Paix for daring to
insinuate a difference of opinion, and 1 my.
self heard a quietly-dressed maid servant
threatened with a similar fate for attempting
to reach a distant chemist's shop in search of
medicine for her sick master. At tne corner
of the Hue L&fiitte I saw a woman shot for
some imaginary offense, and recognized the
effects of the terror according to the golden
model of '93. Anxious to discover the state
of affairs about the Hotel de Ville, I pene
trated through the Hue St. Anne ane Marche
dej St. Honore, the latter of whioh was
strewed with plaster, brick, and class, shat
tered down by the shells tnat clattered about
our ears at every turn. A few steps further
and I was ia the Hue de llivoli, with an am
bulance friend and two young infirmieres,
bent all of tbem on establishing a temporary
hospital in the neighborhood of tne great
barricade, which has been a bugbear to
us so long, at the corner of Hue St. rloren-
tin. We had not advanced many yards whan
we perceived that shell and bullet were falling
fast around ns, coming, as it seemed, irom
some point above tne ruiaia ae i inaasirie
We crawled along the wall "under the arcade,
watching the dust fly up as a bursting shell
fell npon the stones, when suddenly, without
previous warning, there was a tremendous
report close to our heads, followed by a rat
tling down of masonry and a shower of glass
The shock was so great that l closed my eyes
for an instant, aud on pemng tne in per
ceived my friend stretched upon the ground,
bathed in blood, and half smothered in the
debris of clocks and watches, which had been
showered from a shattered window-front. A
shell had burst against a corner of the aroade,
the greater portion of it plunging into tne
watchmaker's shop, one unlucky fragment
striking my friend in the side and throwing
him on the ground, from which he was never
again to rise alive.
INCIDENTS OF THE SECOND DAY'S FIGHTING,
Paris (May 23) Corresponded of London Times,
The Versailla's are closing surely round us,
The Boulevards are untenable; heavy gnns
have opened fire from the Place de l'Opera
towards the Madeleine, which shakes our win
dows. Bullets are thick in the Hue de la
Paix. All shutters are ordered to be opened
as well as doors to guard against troason irom
within. The terrace of the Tuileries gardens
fires npon the Palais de l'lndustrie; the tocsin
has been violently rung all the morning. The
barricade of the lice Koyale la firing upon
the Invalides. It becomes momentarily more
difficult to get about. A strauger is threat
ened with being forced to beir a musket.
Shells have fulleu in front of the Varieties
Theatre. Shot were fired from a home in
the Hue Hocbechouart upon some National
Guard, who entered the Louse and 6umuiarily
executed some persnnB who had arun ia their
jHiMhetiKiou. Formidable barricades have beeu
erected at distances along the Hue Lafayette.
Women are descending from the Mont
martre heights, armed with muskets to de
fend them. The dying Commune continues
U issue incendiary proclamations. The bar
ricade of the Hue St. Florentin has been
mounted with heavy siege gens. The fire
still continnes to bum in the Ministers des
Finances; some two hundred fireiren have
gone to the spot. Archives strew the Hue de
Hivoli, blown hither and thither by the shock
of artillery. The desperate portion of the
National Gunrds increases in insolenoe. I
saw at the corner near the Cafe Voisin a supe
rior officer offer to escort a shopman some
little distance in search of provisions. The
party consisted of several guards and a vican-
dicre. The latter took imaginary offense, and
charged the shopman with insulting her, upon
which be was ordered to be shot. He trem
bled violently, and the ticandiere, being ap
peased, turned round and gave him her pro
tection. The guard who had ordered the
arreBt stood on his dignity and insisted on
his instant execution. Tidings now arrived
that the barricade at the end of the street
was attacked. This drew off the attention of
the guard, and the delinquent escaped.
TEARING DOWN THE RED FLAG A DARING FEAT.
Paris (Mai 24) Correspondence of the London Times.
A terrible f nsilade was meanwhile raging
in the streets adjoining the Opera-house, and
we watched with intense anxiety the move
ments of the red-legged people on the roof
of that building. A man crawled cautiously
up the balustrade, half enveloped in a huge
tricolor, which ho succeeded in planting on
the angle of the building. A sort of sub
dued clapping of hands might have been
heard from sundry neighboring windows; but
the whole work was not yet complete the
red flag had to be got down from the lyre of
Apollo on the front, a by no means easy task
considering that the figure is upwards of 30
feet high, and within direct range of the
Federal troops below. Several men endea
vored to shoot it down with chassepot bul
lets, but this attempt, although reiterated,
proving a failure, one young fellow, more
daring than the rest, aotually climbed from
limb to limb of the gigantic bronze, and tore
it down witn Lis two bands, while bullets
whistled around him, striking every now and
then the frieze or coping of tbe pedestal.
He accomplished his task in safety, and dis
appeared with his trophy.
CHASING THE COMMUNISTS A DASTARDLY MUR
DER.
Paris (May 23) Correspondence of the London Sew.
The Versaillist troops collected about the
foot of the Hue St. Honoro were enjoying
the fine came of Communist bunting. The
Parisians of civil life are caitiffs to the last
drop of their thin, sour, white blood. But
yesterday they had cried "Vive la Com
mune 1" and submitted to be governed by this
said Commune. To-day they rubbed their
hands with livid currish joy to have it in
their power to denounce a Communist and
reveal his hiding-place. Very eager at this
weik are the dear creatures of women. They
know the rat-boles into which the poor devils
have cot, and they guide to them with a fiend
ish glee which is a phase of the many-sided
sex. Voila! the braves of France returned
to a triumph, after a shameful captivity !
They have found him, the miserable ! Yes;
they drag him out from one of the purlieus
which Haussmann had not time to sweep
away, and a guard of six of them hem him
round as they march him into the Hue St.
Honore. A tall, pale, hatless man, with
something not ignoble in his carriage. His
lower lip is trembling, but his brow is firm,
and the eye of him has some pride and
defiance in it. They yell the crowd
"Shoot bim; shoot him!" the demon-women
most clamorous, of course. An arm goes into
tne air; mere are on it tne Rtripea of a non
commissioned officer, and there is a stick in
the fist. The stick falls on the head of the
pale man in black. Ha ! the infection has
caught; men club their rifles, and bring them
down on tnat head, or clash them into
splinters in their lust for murder, lie is
down; he is up again; he is down again; the
thuds of the gun-stocks on him sounding just
as the sound when a man beats a cushion
with a stick.
A certain British impulse, stronger than
consideration for self, prompts me to run
forward. But it is useless. They are firing
into the flaccid carcase now, thronging about
it like blowflies on a piece of meat. His
brains spurt on my boot and plash into the
gutter, whither the carrion is bodily chucked,
presently to be trodden on and rolled by the
feet of multitudes and wheels' of gun-car
riages. vomannood, tnen, is not quite dead
in that band of Bedlamites who had clamored
"Shoot him." Here is one in hysterics;
another, with wan, scared face, draws
out of the press an embryo Bedlamite, her
onspring, and, let us hope, goes home,
But Burely all manhood is dead
n the soldiery of France to
do a deed like this. An officer one with a
bull throat and the eyes of Algiers stood by
and looked on at the sport, sucking a cigar
meanwhile.
SAD SCENES AT VERSAILLES THE CAPTURED
FEMALE INSURGENTS.
Versailles (May 28) Cor. of the London Times.
It is a harrowing sight to behold these con-
vojs of prisoners which arrive here every day
in increasing numbers. We had of late been
accustomed to see among the prisoners
brought in here men with travelling-bags, evi
dently refugees irom tne accursed city, flee
ing from the rigors of the Commune. Many
were very well dressed, some gloved, and
even wearing decorations. They were
. -.1. m .
urongut in witn otner prisoners, but atter a
preliminary examination they were kept sepa
rate, and, if their identity was sufficiently
established, they were set at liberty. We had
Jesterday about 100 women brought in who
ad been captured at barricades or fighting
witn tne COmmnnist battalions. I saw about
forty of these pausing along the Avenue de
Paris who were being conveyed to the
House of Correction; some were packed to
gether in an aituiery wagon, others were on
foot, walking between two linesof gendarmes.
It was a very sad sight. Some of them were
old women, but most of them were under
thirty, and two or three could not have been
eighteen years old. Some seven or eight
were dressed as eantimeres, and wore upon
their heads either a little hat with feathers or
a dust-colored ktpi. Those who had retained
the attire of their sex had no other head-
covering than their own hair. Their arrival
at Versailles excited great curiosity. An im
mense crowd collected' to look at these Corn-
munevses, some oi wnom were said to have
assisted in discharging mitrailleuses. They
were received with insulting laughter, and
jests in sorry taste, occasionally even with
ribald insults. The female spectators,
especially, were very furious agaist these
unhappy creatures, and I Baw one
who, in spite of the esoort, knocked
off with her parasol the military cap
which a cantiniere was wearing. The latter
looked toward her assailant and wept. On all
hands the cry was raised, "Off with the
caps!" One tall young woman, rather good-
looking, wearing the vest and military head
gear, persisted in remaining uncovered. A
woman stepped forward to enforoe compli
ance, when one of the esoort, too readily
yielding to the injunctions of the crowd,
rudely placed his hand npon the girl's head,
and, seizing her hair with the cap, compelled
her to bend down ber head! Immediately
afterward she stood erect, casting a look full
of hatred npon her persecutor. I turned away
from this spectacle, which wounded me to
the heart. I said to myself with grief that a
people which has no confidence in, the jnstioe
and efficacy of the law Is not nt lor liberty.
