OF the northern part OF the Paraguayan chain.
The news from the Comte deus forces is that his
advance entered Curuguaty on the 2sth OF october,
after beating small force outside and routing the
garrison OF 400 men, The Paraguayan loss 10 given
at ninety Killed, sixsy-eght wounded and 102
prisoners. Lopez was reported 70 be at 1gualemy,
forty or fty miles away, and the troops that entered
Curuguaty continued their march In that direction.
The Con,te d'Eu reached horse farm, about
twenty miles beyond st. EstansIas, upon the 10th
OF October and encamped there because his pro-
visions had not arrived. The troops were total ~
without ratioDs for three days. and they had to live

woods. However, "a soon as he was able to collect
aone cattle he started of hts advance guard, but
determined on remaining encamped until he could

A private letter from his camp says his men had q
wearied, halfstarved look and many desertions
had occurred. Two biscuits were selling Tor q dol

tonate.
All the letters from the army say that the Comte
DIN Ia determined TO follow Lopez from place TO
place until he finishes with him or until II becomes
impossible for troops to follow HIM. In this he is
no doubt backed up by the Emperor. The follow
ing expose Of the Comic d'Eu's plans when under
taking the Ranking OF Ascurra may be interesting.
