WASHINGTON News.
WASHINGTON, November 23.-Our
Government 10 satisfied with Minister
Johuson's oficial conduct so far as he
has gone with regard to the settlement
| of the Alabama claims and other ques-
| tons in dispute. If true, as is reported
by cable, Lord Stanley has consented
ington, that fact will be gratifying to
that the Commission shall sit in Wash
many distinguished and interested par
ties in this country who have expressed
to our Government the wish that the
Board shall bold its sessions here, in
stead Of London.
Late and very full information is re-
ceiyed from Buenos Ayres relating to
tho difficulty between Minister Wash
burne and the Paraguayan Government.
As the facts become known, the Bra
lillian press has ceased its attacks upon
Washburne. Minister Webb defends
him, declaring that oil the circum-
stances justify his course. A letter
| from Bliss is also published, in which
he bears testimony to the unwarering
c~oustancy with which Washburne sus-
tanned the rights Of the legation. A
letter from Washburne himself is re-

posure, you may judge something Of our
last two months in Paraguay and,
though We escaped, never did persons
quit q country with heavier hearts. We

shown US any particular kindness would
for that reason be put to death or tor
ture by Lopez. His plan is that Of vi
carious punishment; if he cannot rent
his rage on the person in his power,
his plan is to confiscate the prop
erty Of his relations, and reduce them
to beggary, and subject them to torture.
I was powerless at last to serve any
human being my residence surrounded
by police and spies no person, foreign
or native, daring to visit us. You will
understand how we dared think Of all
the friends we left behind rs the victims
of revenge and cowardicc of the blood
thirsty tyrant. Lopez is made furious
with disappointment, and is conscious
that his cause is lost. As his career
has been but a series Of infamics, he
seems intent on destroying all witnesses
and blotting out memories. Reports
say he is the greatest coward, and it
was only through fear he let me 60.
When Captain Kirkland, of the Wasp,
in response to his threat that no in
tended to hold me, told him If he dared
touch me our Government would have
his head if they had to hunt through all
C%hristendom, he then concluded to let
me Depart"
