The BuenOs Ayres Standard o. thR
the 2jth Of September has the follow
ing news from Paraguay:
THE allies are brought 20 COM
mon standstill for the want Cf horses,
or, rather, of hay and corn. Some
times the cavalry is sent on an eXpe-
dition Of throe or four days, without
fodder of any kind, and Of course the
horses die. Numbers of the troops at
Pirayu and CIacupe, and other points,
are being sent to A-unci0n. There IS
talk OF sending up forces % san Pedro
aud other points on the river Para
quay. The Prince was expected at
AsunciOn 10 hold q conference with
Minister ParanhOe.
sTFFERING AT AsUNCI1N.
"AsunciOn is 10 be cleaned up by
the Provisional Government, who
nave provided carts and horses for the
purpose, Sut the work j. a heavy one,
ior the state Of the place Is indescriba-
blv filthy. The city i crowded in
every part, and a house or a room
capno! be obtained for loveOr money,
There are about Ie,0JO uatives, mostly
women and children, and as the drri-
val OF sufferers from the interior con-
tiuups daily, the authorities are put
ting up tents for them in the out
skirts. The allies give out rations
daily 10 these poor starving people.
No words can describe the horrible
condition OF tEe refugees that each
t,7lin from Pirayu brings into the
etpiial. rhav seem living skeletons,
ana some OF them are boys ten or
twelve years old, for the most part
4hockingly mutiiated With bullet and
sabre WOUNDS. Strangers are quite
.s-tonished at the extraordinary en-
durance Of these Paraguayans, who
survive suffering that must prove
Litai 10 Europeans.
I've hear The highest praise OF
SipSSr-. IAnuE aud their agent at
Pirayu, Mr. kichebraZue, for the un-
boundrd kindness and generosity
they show to all sufferers. In this
nobic work they spare no expense,
and earn The blessings Of thousands Oi
poDr people.
