THE PARAGUAYAN WAR.

VIEWS AND EXPERIENCES OF GEN. MMAHON.
WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Gen. Mcmahon, late Min
lister to Paraguay is now in Washington on business
with the State Department. His proceeding as Min
lister are approved on the ground that they show his
course was marked by commendable diligence, dis
cretOn, dignity, and firmness The General confirms
the reports of the Allies firing upon his party whle
with the Paraguayan flag of truce and their proven
ton Of dispatches from and to his Government with
the exception of that for his recall from Paraguay
which was permitted to be promptly forwarded to
him. He thinks the present position OF Lopez is
stroger than heretofore, and the announcement by
the Allies of the being ended was simply pre-
text for Withdrawing the invading troops. The
Paraguayans conduct their war without money,
make their own cannon, and powder, and other hos
tile appliances, while the women plant
and gather the crops. The UrUguayans
scarcely contributed a regiment; the Argentine
Confederation 1900 5OOO and the Brazilans $1,000
OF 24,OOO more. The Paraguayan Legion, now guard
ing OF in possession Of AsuncOn, numbers about 1000
men, 1t is composed in small part Of deserteTs to
she Allies, with Paraguayan prisoners of war who
have been compelled TO enter the service, together
with an equal number of BTazilans The Provisional
Government is regarded as inefficient by all who are
familiar with its history and not promising sta
bllity Lopez is represented by Gen. Mcmahon to be
possessed of fine administrative abilities, and not
more cruel in war than the most complaining OF the
Allied generals The devotion of the people to their
chief is without example They are not only
obedient but always ready to incur any risk, or
make any sacrifice which may be demanded by him.
Lopez contemplates the restoration of prosperity to
his country by immigrants from the United States to
whom he will offer inducements to settle there by
the grant of lands.
