In expectation of the failure of negotiations with
Mr.. Bowlin. A person (name not given) who left
Asuncion on November 80, reports that he saw
eight ten thousand troops, in the highest state
OF discipline and commanded by French and Eng
lish officers. He declares also that the fort of HUI
malta was perfectly mounted with fine artillery,
and the garrison was composed of the flower of the
army. President Lopez very loud in express
ing his determination not to yield to the demands
OF the United States. He continually declared in
the Semdnario that he would not pay penny. The
last number of the Semonario says:
The Americans commence by insulting the decen-
cy and dignity of this government, making de-
mands which in no can be acceded to. This
government is required to indemnify a mercantile
company with the sum of nine hundred thousand
dollars, to give satisfaction to the North American
flag for the shot fired from the fortress of Itapiru at
they war steamer Water Witch, and to allow the per-
sons who now demand indemnity to return and re-
establish their business in the territory OF the re-
public. = The COM
mittee of the United States Senate doubtless wish
to make Paraguay the laughing stock of the world.
No, thousand times no. Although we cannot
promise ourselves the laureis of victory, we can at
least be assured of the reward which all the world
accords to the honorably defeated. 1t is not pow
der and shot that destroy nation, but the oppro-
blum that falls upon her when she submits dishonor-
ably to humiliating conditions. = This
war is brought upon us to rob the money from the
Paraguayan Treasury. Who knows that it is not
true (as we have been assured that it is) that
Buchanan has private interest in the triumph of
this company, others have whom we do not care
to name? refusal will be the result of reclama-
nation, for we know, now, the nature of the de-
mands to be made upon The natural conse-
quence will be war; and for the republic of
Paraguay is prepared
