-Mien began. I waa glad to get away from
thelatan?bf our disaster* and lose their re?
membrance In a few hours of sleep.
NAPOLEON A PRISONER.
The next day we were told that the Emperor
"had gone to the King's headquarters to treat
tor a surrender. At Fl his household and car?
riages left the town, and we knew that he was
a prisoner and the Empire no more. About
the lame hour there was posted in the street
a proclamation from General De Wlmpffen,
saying that notwithstanding prodigies of cour?
age, the army having no more ammunition,
fouod itself unable to respond to the summons
of its chiefs and force its way to Montmedy.
That being surrounded, he had made the r?est
conditions he could-conditions such as would
Inflict no humiliation on the army. These con?
ditions prove to be the surrender of the whole
armv, not less than 100,000 men, as prisoners
of war, with all their arms, baggage, horses,
standards and guns. The officers who sign an
engagement not to serve against Prussia dur?
ing the war may return to their homes, the
remainder to be sent to German towns in Ger?
many. Many officers refuse to sign, preferring
to share the captivity of their men.
On Saturday the whole loree laid down their
armB. Not a few soldiers in their rage broke
rather than give up their arms, and the streets
were littered with fragments ot all kinds ol
weapons broken; swords, rifles, pistols, lan?
cers' helmets, cuirasses, even mitrailleurs
covered the ground; and in one place where
the Meuse runs through the town the heaps of
. such fragments choked the stream and rose
above the surface. The mud of the streets
was black with gunpowder. The horses had
been tied to the houses and gun carriages, but
nobody remembered to feed and water them,
and, in the. frenzy of hunger and thirst, they
broke loose and ran wild through the town.
Whoever lilied might have a horse-eve a offi?
cers' horses which were private property-for
tie trouble of catching them.
EMPTTINO THE MONEV CHEST.
When the Prussians came into the towt
they were very sore and angry at the sight of |
all this destruction and waite. What must
have pleased them still less, was the state in
which they found the military chest. As soon
as the surrender was resolved on, tho French
officers were told to make out the best ac?
counts they could, present them, and receive
payment. Naturally, the statements thus
brought In soon proved sufficient to empty the
treasury. I know of officers who demanded
and received payment for horses that were not,
killed and baggage which had not been lost. De
moralization showed itself In every way. Eves
the standards were- burned or buried-an act
of bad faith not to he palliated even by the
grief and rage of a beaten army.
1 . GENERAL DE FAILLT.
Their rage 1B greater against no one than
General De Failiy. He had a room in the hotel
where I was staying. On Friday, a great mul?
titude of soldiers gathered before tue house,
the doors ol' which were closed, demanding
General fit; Fallly with such shouts and me?
naces thafHie landlord thought it prudent to
hurry him out of a back window. The soldiers,
could they have reached him, would have tom
him to pieces. ?Ince then, I have heard the
report that he was shot by one of his own men;
but no such event had happened on Saturday,
and could not well happen later.
lt was a relief on Satur .lay when the Prus?
sians came in and occupied ?he town, and re?
stored order. When I ielt Sedan on Sunday
morning, things were rapid! v getting in order.
The 6treete were cleared of lead horses and
men. The Indescribable filth of the town was
swept into the river. The shops were ouening
again. Discipline had taken the place of dis?
order: I Baw enough of Prussian organization
and energy to change, if the grievous deteat of
a noble army had not already changed, the
opinion I have so often expressed, that ulti?
mate victory for France was sure.
WHY THE FRENCH WERE SO OFTEN SUR?
PRISED.
I have followed McMahon from the day
-when I lound bim reorganizing his army at
Chalons to the fatal day at Sea_.i, when he
surrendered the last organized force in France,
save the remnant of that which is shut up in
Metz. Ge rta lol y, when I was at the camp of
Chalons, and then at Rheims, I had observed
that the number ot stragglers was enormous,
and I continually met soldiers who did not
know where their regiments were. I ha*?
seerf men and officers disabled by wounds
which French soldiers of other days would
have despised; I had remarked how untidy
and careless the men were allowed to be
about their dress and equipments. These
thingB, alight., but significant to a military eye,
had caused me, no doubt, some misgiving.}
as to the rapidity ot the success we
had a right to expect. I saw also
how prone French officers were to' avoid
the fatigues of long marches and the dis?om
?, fort of bivouacs. J remember how often I
have traversed the French lines at dead of
.nighi aud at early dawn, and never heard a
challenge", Heyer came across a French

all this kind ol evidence, but the end is only
too 'clear. Painful it ls to me, but I am bound

France may make can only cause useless blood?

Remarkable Interview Between Count
Bismarck and a. Correspondent-Bls~
w-urek's Views on the Situation-Pru*
.la to Hold Strasbourg and .tietz.
LONDON, Monday, September 5,
The lellowlng Is an account of a conversa?
tion held with Count Bismarck by the special
correspondent of the New York Tribune who
described the battle of Sedan:
KINO OF PRUSSIA'S HEADQGARTER?", \
NEAR SEDAN, September 2. j
The first question asked on the hill of Chev
ange after we knew what a magnificent vic?
tory had been won, was, what terms will be
demanded of ' France by Count Bismarck.
There have been speculations and rumors
enough. Fortunately, I am able to give
a very clear account of Count Bismarck's
views as stated by himself. 1 had a long con
Tersation with him on the. subject only four
days before the victory ot Sedan, that is, on
the I'S tb of tugust. The substance of it I am
at liberty to make public. I had received a file
of papers from England nod bad forwarded
three of latest date, at the Chancellor's request,
for his perusal. On going to claim my papers
in the evening at his Excellency's quarters. I
wr.s asked to step lu and sit down. I fou ml
Count Bismarck at a deal table covered with
papers, Journals, orders, maps and cigar box?
es, busily smoking the cigar which never seems
to quit his lips.
He apologized politely for keeping on bis
white and. yellow (orage cap, saying that he
had only that Instant come In from a long
walk an mad the prettily situated town of Cler?
mont, where we were then quartered, and that
he was afraid of taking cold' if he remained
uncovered. After a little talk about the war,
very interesting but which would be out of
place herv, and iuquirles on my part as to the
recovery, of his son who has been slightly
wounded, ? broke ground by asking Count
Bismarck what were likely lo be the conditions
of peace demanded by the King of Prussia's
government.
He answered at once, with great apparent
frankness and In the clearest manner. I sup
?ose-1 need hardly remind your readers that
ount Bismarck speaks capital English, so that
there could be no possibility or my misunder?
standing him.
''There ar? three coursep open to us," he
Bald, "with regard to peace wltu France We
must stop the possibility of another so unpro?
voked aud uncalled for muck by the French
nation or the French Government on our com?
mon Fut h er lund. No minister who failed io
do this could hold office for a week, lor the
opinion of all Germany would be against him.
There' are, as 1 have said, three ways of stor?
ping an attack on the Rhine provinces.
'.First. We might make Alsace and Lorraine
a neutral Stat?: UK? Luxembourg or Belgium,
extending from the former country to Swit?
zerland, and so separating France and Pntssia
by a group ol neutral Stales; but I c<miens ii
appears io me that neutrality or the existing
small Stan* ls already so difficult lo protect,
and ls at every moment capable of so mauy
and such diiuguroai complications, that I do
not think lt woukl be wonh while to make
more neutral States, ?ad with them new d uties
and danger?.
"Secondly. We might annex Alsace and Lor
raiue. ami hold them as conquered territory.
But I am sure that this would noi be looked
on luvorably by the majority or my Germau
fellow-countrymen. We are all mont anxious
to complete onr milly; but we do uot want any
people among ns who ore uuwilling members
>f the German, nation. That the Al cac i an?
?vould be most disloyal subjects ol the King of
Prussia, in spite of the great majority of them
speaking the German language and being ol
Teutonic origin, there can be no doubt.
"Thirdly. There remains to us then as a
third course, to take Mets and Strasbourg and
to keep them. This is what we shall do.
Strasbourg particularly is absolutely needftil
for thc protection of South Germany which is
at the mercy of a French armv. So long as
France possesses Strasbourg, there is nothing
to stop a French invading army. Now, it
it would be very unfair if we wer? to leave our
South German brethren unprotected after
they have fought so bravely and well by our
side in this campaign. Then again by holding
Strasbourg we could al wa vs prevent any
movement on the Rhine. We should be able
not only.o march an army by the valley ol
the Main on Paris, but to take a French army
marching on Mayence or Goblentz in flank
and rear. So we have besieged Strasbourg
vigorously; and when we have got tlw?old
German town back again we shall make a
Gibraltar of it7'
"But allow me to suggest," I said, -that the
cession of Strasbourg Ts not a thin? to which
France will be easily reconciled; all bte more
because it is as you say the key ol Fraace on
the East,'"
"My dear sir.** was the reply, "yen have
been with us continually since our entry into
France. I have heard you constantly talking
French. Now, have you not clearly seen that
it would be difficult for the French to be more
angry with us Xor our victories over them than
they already are ? No, not If we were en?
camped in the Bois de Boulogne itself. And
just because they are and will be lor many
year to come very sore against us, we must
take care not to leave in their hands the means
ol doing us a mischief.
.'When von meet a drunken man in the
streets, what do you do if he ls mischievous ?
Call a policeman, don't you ? Well, Strasbourg
and Metz will have to be our policemen, ano
good stout ones, too."
"It is curious,"" I remarked, "how much the
French do hate the Prussians, and what stories
they tell and believe aboui you. I have lived
a great deal in Paris, and I know there are
told there as facts some fables which are all
but incredible."'
"yes,*1 answered Count Bismarck, "we have
taken the place of the Engllsn thirty, nay
twenty years aga. But as they have come to
forget their hatred of 'perfidious Albion,' so
they will have to find some day or other that
there is some good in us. Also, it seems as If J
tlie French nation stood In constant need of a
bugbear to vent their wrath upon. For the
moment, we are the bugbears."
I ventured then to say, "I see that the peo?
ple are in a great fright in England lest your
Excellency should cast a covetous eye upon
Holland."
"Yes, I am aware that is an English idea."
replied the Count; "but, like otu cr English
ideas, it is not accepted ont of the country of
its birth. We wa u noching in Germany that
is not German, and Holland certainly is not
German. Already Posen is looked upon with
no friendly eye by many of my countrymen as
a non-Teutonic province. There is no fear of
our taking Holland-as little as there is of the
French raking Belgium."
Now, I fancied 1 saw a qniet twinkle of s t
isiaction in Count Bismarck's eye hs he added
the above last word; and wrhap6 I muy as
well let it bc the last word of my report.
