lfngitiye in sB9liEia, = Ne have had many
announcements before Of the final defeat
OF Eopez,n 6uHtH this this news benrs the evt'i-
dence OF being fanthentic. The Brazil
ian, Argentine and Ungnayan troops are
about to withdraw from Paraguay, and
the Orleanist Prince d'Eu, commander
in-chief Of the allied armies, was expected
atiMontevideo at the latest advices. The
war now closed has been waged against
Lopez for exactly five years. Hostiities
between Brazil and Paraguay commenced
on November IL, 1864, when Brazilian
steamer wac captured as an intruder on
the Paraguay. Brazil was invaded by
Lopez In December. In the following
April the dictator invaded the territories
OF the Argentine republic. which imme-
diately made an alliance with Brazil.
Since that, tame the war hns been stub
bornly contested on both sides, Lopez
falling back sullenly from point to point
before the superior power of the invader,
but never without. desperate fighting.
The war has been q terrible drain on the
allies, hpt lit has resulted almost in the
depopulation OF, ,Paragua and the utter
ruin OF its material interests. t,Iai
