me faraguayans were not driven from the
powerful fortifications of Humaita as first

when they opened a most sweeping and de-

swept down entire regiments of the advancing
columns and sent the survivors fleeing back in
confusion and dismay to their lines. Caxias
DID not attempt a second time to interfere with
Lopezs plans. The latter withdrew and on
