the United States hes been getting him
self into serious trouble with Marshal
Lepez, the latter having accused Minis
ter WeshbErre of having entered into q
conspiracy to asssssinsta the PresideBt,
and it was charged that he had received
c reward Of $40 600 foT bis action. Tie
chief sccussg is SenoaJcs Bergss, the
Minister OF Foreign ATairs, who turned
States evidence against the con-
spirscy. he charges MT, Porter c..
Bliss, 2 member Of tho legation,
with having signed g compact wish
the O~onspiratOrs, and although hir.
Bliss denies all these charges in a letter
10 his friends, yet the Psraguaysn Gov
erGment has published a letter, puTpoEt-
ing to have been siSned by Mr.. Bliss,
admitting all The charges against his
own minister. Tbis letter is generally
believed 30 have been gotten from him
by means Of torture while in prison.
The whole foreign population Of
Rio de Ia Plata seorn the out
RACES committed by Lopsz in this
affair." but regret shat a minister
CT the great Republic ghould have ever
noticed such charges. Rear Admiral
DsE!s, the commander OF the American
squadron, has taken prompt measures
to ViDdieate the insult to the American
flag.
The Post says e~ditoTisljy awe print
q letter from q well Informed correspond
ent in RIO J2Deiro, the tone OF which
shows The deep feelirg which exists
among the Americans il BraziI ia r. gard
TO the extraordinary story about the
United States Minister in Paraguay, Mr.
Washburne. Il is assorted thSt Mr..
Washburoe let the country and sban-
d0EeG 10 the b35sr0ns Dictator Lopez,
two Americsc citizens, Porter g. Bliss
and G. +. M~Gsterm2-, both employed in
the Legation as United States officers.
Sc incredible q story OF c0war5ice on
the part OF 2 United Ststes Minister
would be received at least ss doubtful,
aud susceptible Of soras explanation hon
orab,e to Mr. Washburne, did not 8 long
letter OF WsshCurnels, which Iili also DO
found elsewhere, fully confirm it. He
states in this letter, which il addressed
to the English Minister at Rio Janeiro,
that Bliss and Masterrnsn were forced
from his side es he and they were pass
ing from the Legation to the water side,
where they were to embark 10 o q. S,
galley; and not only did ne suffer this
~atrocious violation OF the rights of q. s.
officers, but he seems, from his account,
10 have gone quietly aboard the vessel
awaiting him and sailed off, leaving
them TO their fate, without stopping even
TO demonstrate.
Oar correspondent IA Rio JSneiro adds
still farther Idst while the English and
French fleets are Fastening to Paraguay
to rescue THAR people, Weshburne has
not even called for our fleet, which lies
idly IN Rio, while Lopez IL toFturing
aud numbering at his own sweet viii.
Mr.. WashbuFne's own letter condemns
him. No such outrage has ever been
suffered by an American citizen as that
which he has tolerated. Nc such weak
minded person has ever miSrspresented
our Government abroad or suffered our
flag to be dishonoFed, and the sauctity Of
the United States legation to be VIC |
lated. We viii say nothing Of the re-
ports which come from Rio Janeiro of
Mr.. WashbuTneis ENHANCEMENT with
Lopez, of his corruption by that barba4
rian it is quite enough that ne has suf-
fersd two American citizens, besides g
large number of persons Of other nations
to nave been taken from his Leg atom
where they had sought refUgs from the
fury Of Lopez. We hope our Govern
msnt will act promptly in the matter.
The country has q right to demand that
the President shall send out, without the
loss of a day, and by the spsediest con-
