P,ogs the " y. TTtb,u<.
Four teleprams. by various ways, concur in
tbe General report that Lopez has been sig
naIly beaten. and has fallen back or fled
iTbe announcement of his defeat at his strong
bold of Ascurra is followed by a statement of
his rout at Curuguaty (Which is not to be
confounded with former battlefield of
C,rrr1paitv), with loss of one thousand men
killed and twelve guns, supplemented by his
further disaster at Ignacion, where the allies
took from him twenty-five guns. These
facts being granted, we can readily under
stand that the impromptu government at
Asuncion has declared him an outlaw. Count
dEu will have gained an honorable and not
common laurel as an energetic and sBilful COM
,oander. for the asserted victories could not
have been achieved, we fancy, without inteli-
cent strategic combination against a subtle
and battling adversary.
The probabilities are that the backbone of
the military power OF Lopez has been broken
at last. He may remain at the head of a vaga-
bond band, and, in default of administrative
ability at Asuncion, gather influence in time
and work mischief or he may be caught, and
there be an end of him. Thus has come to
most desperate pass the iron-willed leader of
one of the most resolute contests of history
- murderer with some of the talents of a
Caesar, and with the impending fate of an out
law Since ex-AIinister Washburn has re-
neved his accusation that Lopez tortured and
shot his brothers and brothers-in-law, and
hopped his sister. besides numbering a cabi-
net officer, chief-justice, thirty priests, and
some others-and since these enormities seem
not to want the most tragic confrmation--it
is not probable that any sympathy will follow
