reported 10 have taken from the latter forty
PIeees OF brazilian artillery and over 400 pri-
sohers, Whlle their own loss consisted of but
Jour guns aud one or two flags A large DOR
non OF the Craguayan infantry and force Of
argentine cavalry were routed by dash Of
falaeuayan cavalry, who cut through TO the
centre OF the force, and took the remain der of
me troops in the rear. This successful move
men: caused the allies to abandon their camps,
IN consequence of their having to cross q large
prairie in their retreat, inflicted upon them a
great sacrifice Of life.
Two days after this Gen. Mitre, the comman-
Ger OF the defeated forces. sent flag OF truce 10
General Lopez, the commander Of the Para
quay ans, and asked an armistIce for three
days, in order 10 bury the dead and reorgan-
re their forces. Lopez promptly refused, as
sertIng that, as the allies had resolved 10 carry
the war on TO death, he would keep them 10
thelr werd, AID comply himself literally to
their request.
The Paragraphs then fortified the ca mp
they occupied. and the triple allied forces were
IN such a condition that they dared no: move
from the fear OF bringing on an attack that
might annIhilafe them.
During the actions from the 9th TO the 18th
OF May, It's estimated that the Paraguayans
hao but 2O.ctO men engaged, while the allies
had not less than 1900 in the field. Gen Osa-
no acknowledged TO a loss of 700 killed. and
about 2OCO wounded, but it is stated that at
Corren'es there are not less than 900 wounded
and sick soldiers belonging to the allied
armies.
On the 18th of May the Paraguayans made
a thlrd attack upon their enemy, passing over
me bodies OF the dead and wounded who had
iallen IN the advance, and succeeded in de-
sIoyIng the organization OF two baftalions
OF the allies. In This brilliant affair the Para
guayans had but few more than 1900 men,
Whlle The allies had far more than 3.5y0
men.
