opponent Lopez has the game 100 iauch In
his own hands to concede anything that u not
in consonance with Paraguayan policy. !
Paraguay, although full Of the desire to ex-
tend her territorial sway to the mouth OF the
Parana, is, nevertheless, the only power strug-
Cling for principle among the four nations
engaged. She is, In fact, defending the integ-
rity Of her nationality and Of her territory.
She holds the key to the whole upper Parana
and the whole Of the magnificent valley of the
Paraguay river Her overthrow by Brazil
would be the worst evil that could beiall La
Plata valley; for the allies would immediately
commence contest for the spoils, over which
they would destroy the present prosperity Of
valley which, for vast productions and COM
mercial wealth, is destined to be only second
to that Of our Mississippi.
The allies should accept the kind Offices Of
the United States to settle the questions
between them. AS the contest now goes It is
ruinous to the eastern hrlf of South America,
which only requires the taking of Of this
curse Of war TO spring into an unprecedented
commercial prosperity.

ground in their desperate onslaught against

story for Brazil A large detachment Of troops

The strategic situation Of the allied army Is
really moro critical at this time than at any

Tho Formal Handing Over Of Ainska.
We publish some interesting dispatches

The proceedings took place at New ArchangeI,
Captain PestrechoR acting Commits ,ioner in
behalf Of the Gear of all the Russias, in hand

acting Commissioner in receiving 1t, with the
raising Of the Stars and Stripes, in the name Of

their presence, among them the Russian Prin-
cess Matsako6, who wspt audibly ct the trans
