Postal negotiations are now pending
between the United States and France

Dispatches have been received at the
War Department from Lieut.. Gen.
Sherman, indicating that the troubles
on Saline aud Solomau rivers are due
to acts of violence by the dog soldiers
and Cheyennes. The cause of the
trouble is supposed to have grown out
of the recent fight between the Cheyen-
mes and PaWneeS, the former getting
the worst of ii, and they are supposed
to have attacked all settlers for re-
venge. Gen. Sheridan had sent plenty
OF troops and gone in person to the
place of hostilities.
Secretary Browning has received an
affidavit from the President of the
Union Pacific Railroad announcing an
additional section of twenty miles OF

SAN FRANCISCO, August 19.-On Au-
gust 18th a singularitidal phenomenon
occurred at San Pedro, Southern Cali
fornia. A series OF waves commenced
flowing upon the coast, causing the
tide to rise three or four feet above
ordinary high water, followed by a
falling tide some distance below water
mark. The rise and fall occurred regu-
larly every half hour, for several hours,
creating considerable alarm among the
inhabitants thereabouts. The incident
is attributed to some marine disturb
ance, causing the bottom OF the sea 10
rise and fall, thus impelling the waves
toward the coast.

RIO JANEIRo, July 81, via LONDON.
August 2O.-The attack on the Para
guayan fortress of Humaita took place
on the 10th of July. On the morning
of that day the combined bEhzlLlAn anu
Argentine forces, under command OF
Marquis De Caxias, advanced TO the as
sault in three solid columns, amount
ing in the aggregate to 10000 men. at
the same time a heavy fire was opened
upon the Notifications from fleet of
iron clads and land batteries. Alter
desperate and prolonged fighting at the
foot of the entertainments. the allied
columns retired without effecting a
lodgment within the enemy's works.
The loss of the allies is reported
at 3, 600 killed and wounded. Nothing
known of losses of Paraguayans, but
as they fought most of the time under
cover of enTrenchments, it is supposed
the number of their killed and wound
ed will fall far behind that of the allies.
The allied forces under Grau Chaco adj
vanced with the object of cutting on the
communication of Lopez in the forest.
They found them defended by large
body of Paraguayans projected by
breastworks. After an obstinate en-
gagement the allies withdrew to their
former position. The casualties in this
bsttle are not stated. The hopes of the
war party in Brazil rested upon the
success OF this enterprise, and its fail
ure will give great impetus to peace
movements.
