CRUISE or THE HARRIET LANE.

Tie L. s. steamer Harriet Lane came up to the
Navy Yard, from Quarantine, yesterday evening, ana
hauled alongside the wharf. As her crew were only
shipped for the cruise they will probably be paid
Of and may receive inducements 10 join one OF
the merry vessels now citing out for sea service.
The Harriet Lane left Nss-York the oh Of Ocio-

Futon and Water Witch were already at anchor.

President UTquizs was at Asunclon forwarding the
negotiation of Treaty between the United States and
Paraguay. The PORTS Of this treaty ars already
known to ourIesders. Commissioner BOwln's wiling
ress to settle the dispute was highly unsatisfactory to
TIE partissrs Of the Navigation Company, snd to the
friend, and symps;hizers of Consul Hopkins Some Of
the warmer supporters Of the latter and his cause went
80 Tar as 10 ay that tie importance Of the treaty d
f.uiy and the Water Witch affair were pur posely
psgLifed By the Consul, in order to induce 5he
United States Government to u'e sum nary measures
in obtaining indemnity for the losses Of the Navigation
Company. Il il alleged that the Com nssloners ree'

to do-Cn forcing Lopez to pay all the demandsoi Hop
kns srose from the very confused nature OF those de-
nancs, ron the acknowledgement msde by soms III
ter,stsd party that remuneration for loSses alone
would not be by any means sccepsbls, IS tne
destruction Of q splendid income for several Yeas
should be recompensed, Is well as the mere capi!sl
sacrificed by the Jealousy OF tue Paraguaysn Pfesl'
dent. Lopezs organ had been very loquscious about
loan of $4,000 to Mf. Hopkins, but at the negotia
tioIs the matter only mentioned incidentally, and
then net by President Lopez. The latter was in
mourning for the death OF his brother, who was
bishop.
We can state on updoubted authority that Commis-
siorer Bowln returns to the United States impressed
with tie oea tns the Government has been grossly de-
ceiyed by Mr.. Hopkins who, says our authority, d''
tiugui.teG nsvAi officer "bears very bsi character
" in 81 South America Judge Bewiin actually stated
that he would rot believe Jingle word spoken by the
Conful on diplomatic matters, and sa!s that ne Is
furnished with ncontIoveribe proofs that our re's-
tiors with Paraguay have from the first been grossly
nhrepresetted by Consul Hopkins.
All these things Will be laid before the public very
