Bush, private secretary to Bismarck: "After the fate of the entrapped French army in Sedan had been sealed by the uniting of the Prussian THE FEANCO-PEUSSIAN WAR 147 and Saxon regiments, which formed almost a complete circle around Sedan, the battle, although fierce in the extreme, suddenly ceased at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Five minutes later a French officer, escorted by two Uhlans, appeared at a sharp trot ascending the hill from Sedan. One of the escorting Uhlans had a white handkerchief... tied to a stick. Arrived at the King's Headquarters, which was at the village of Vendresse on a hill, the officer alighted and asked to be informed on what conditions the capitulation of Sedan with its army would be accepted. After a short consultation between the King and von Moltke, he was informed that in a matter of such importance it would require an officer of high rank to negotiate with. He was told to return to Sedan and to inform the Governor of Sedan to appear at once before the King of Prussia, and should he not be there within three-quarters of an hour, the battle would be at once resumed.
