The " Washington Star says"--The latest
adyices received by the government from
the Paraguay expedition confirm the former
reports that Brazil and the Argentine Con-
federation have offered to act rs mediators
between the United States and Paraguay
Commissioner Bowlin, of course. informed
them that he had no authority to accept their
offers. unless he should receive further in
structions from the authorities here. Mean
time he will proceed in conformity with his
previous instructions. and it is probable that
the difficulties with Paraguay will be settled
without the rrofered interposition.
