THE APACHE TERROR.

The Paris correspondent of the London "Daily Telegraph," writing on September 22, states:—Terror reigns in the quarter of the Pont de Flandre, which in the early ho-.irs of this morning was the scene of a series of aggressions by a band of armed apaches. A little after midnight three, young men weTe making their way homo along the Avenue du Pont de Flandre, when they were attacked by a band of apaches, who seemed to have been lying in wait for them. Though unarmed, the. three youths made a vigorous resistance, but soon all fell more or less severely wounded beneath the revolvers and knives' of their assailants, who took to flight before the police appeared on the scene. AH tliat the latter could do was to carry the victims of the attack to the nearest hospital, where their injuries were attended to. One had received a bullet in the throat, the second a bullet. through the ami, and the third three stabs between the shoulders. The first is in serious danger. Three hours later a workman, entering his house in the Rue de Flandre, not far from the scene of the first aggression, was attacked by'a band of apaches) without doubt the same, wounded by a revolver bullet in-the left leg, and stabbed four times in the shoulder and back. His condition is serious. An inquiry has been opened, but the band is still at large.
