He made a speech, which telegraphed TO the
Buenos Ayres papers just received here and in the

Many examples are recorded in history of the
devotion of women to their country, but never has
woman sacrificed herself upon the country's altar
as did the Paraguayan. When her land was drawn
into war and the men fighting in the ranks
the women assumed all the obligations of their
fathers, husbands and brothers thus giving 10
women of the whole world example of courage
and devotion" The American Minister alluded TO
the war OF 1S55-ls70, in which Paraguay with her
million Of inhabitants, struggled against the Is S0OJ

The United States cruiser st. Louis, on her long

day before the two cruisers Grau and Bolognes
which the Peruvian government had built in Europe
These two vessels had made a good voyage across
the Atlantic and up the western shore of the Pa

arrival the home port especially to boiler tubes
II thought at first that the repairs could be
made in the works Of the Callao Navy Yard, and
that tubes could be procured. But IL appears

jor a. H. Blocksom of the inspector
generals department of the army, who
made the first investigation of tho
ARRAY mt Brownsville, Tex, for the
War Department was on the stand
practically all of today. His direct
examination was recital of his In

called the attention .of tho witness
to the testimony of Lieutenant I4eclie
of the Twenty-sixth Infantry, who said
that he had sighted along groove
made by n bullet which struck the
Yturria house, and that the bullet
could not have been from the lul.

tradicted the testimony of Major
Blocksom and he said that Lieutenant
Leckie must have testified falsely
This has raised the issue of veracity
between the two officers.

recalled several days ago, arrived al
