TIE PARAGUAY EyGprrloN II is stated in The news
papers that the Government Of Paraguay is making
elaborate preparations TO resist the ascent of the ma
val forces Of the United Statcsupon the river to the

report but IL Is nevertheless possible that President
Lopez has adopted some such system of defence
distractions thrown into such water course, to be
electual must involve the government not only in
serious expenditures but operate hereafter greatly TO
the annoyance Of The people Themselves But il l.
extremely doubtful whether any impcdimcnts thrown
into the river will be able to obsrue the running Of
onr vessels of light draft. They may cause more or
less delay by cXacting greater caution in the pilots,
and perhaps material will have to be removed in
some instances but We have no belief in any very
serious difficulties to grow out Of this species of de
fence The very able Secretary Of the navy has pro
yided lcc of steamers of light draft precisely the
