A letter from Buenos Ayres, in the Montevideo
Constitutional, announces the departure of MIR.
GRAHAM, United States Consul, and son of Mr..
BRENT, the Charge d'Aflaires, for Corrientes and
Paraguay.
There is no doubt but that the alliance between
Paraguay and Corrientes is dissolved, and that
the treaties Of ls45 are no longer in force. The
Concrete de Plata expresses ignorance of the
causes of this dissolution. Buenos Ayrean paper
Of June 20 has the following:
According from Entrerios, the Conenino Envoy
Paraguay had been successful in his mission, President
Lorkz having agreed cancel all the treaties that had been
formed between the two provinces in prejudice TO the cone
ration. The Paraguay army had Withdrawn to its te
ritory."

Americans, who were i'm the conveyed fleet in the
river Plate, dated al Monteydeo, July LIST, 1916.

ing into the city whether he then would maintain the
laws and give the people Of the province their hee VOTE
become creature Of Rosas il hard to tell At any rate,
