Washburn, our Paraguayan Ex-Minister,
Lets Out upon the Butcher
The List of His Infamies
Brutal Murders He
Flogs His Sister
until Almost
Lifeless.
In the following letter, addressed to the Lon
don Horning Star, ex-Minister Washburn paints
no very pleasant picture of Lopez, the leader
f the Paraguayan hosts:
Kir: Having observed In one of the morning
papers or to-day a letter signed "0. 8. and w.
.Brandon," In which occurs the sentence, "We
believe that Mr. Washburn has long since retracted
his statements as to 1'rcHtdcut Lopez," 1 beg that
you will allow me the space In yonr columns
to state that no retraction of what I have
published In regard to the merciless tyrant
of Paraguay has ever been made by mo. At
the moment I was leaving that country I sent
back a letter to Lope., telling him that the declara
tions he had published from his two brothers, his
Foreign Minister and his Chief Justice, In regard to
his pretended conspiracy, were all false, and that he
knew It, and that if any one of them wore ever to
escape from his power he would deny that he had
ever made any such declarations, or protest that he
had made them under torture, and that the only way
to prevent them from exposing and denouncing his
unnatural cruelties was to kill them. Shortly alter
ward 1 published In the newspapers of Buenos Ayres
that he would certainly destroy every one of tlieiu.
What I then wrote as prophecy has since been ful
lilled. Lopez has tortured and shot his Foreign Minister,
Jose Herges, and his own brother, lteuiguo Lopez.
He has shot his Chief Justice, Andres L rdapllleta ;
also the Bishop of Paraguay and nearly thirty
priests. He has shot his brother-in-law, General
Barrios; his other brother-tnluw, isaturulno lledoya,
expired under torture, lie Hogged his Bister, the
wiie of General Barrios, until sue was nearly dead,
and he forced his mother to make a public declara
tion that she had no child but the brutal moiiBtcf
who had murdered one or more, and tortured with
inhuman cruelty her other children.
These terrible facts are known to be true, and are
vouched for by every KngllHhinau who had escaped
from the tyrant's power. They all speak from their
own personal knowledge, or from their own experi
ence and sufferings, and as no one has ever contra
dicted any speclllo statement they have made, it fol
lows that the recent publications in the newspapers,
denying In general terms the atrocities that 1, ami
all others who are competent to speak on the mat
ter, assert, have been manufactured by Lopez's
agents in Europe, to subserve the interests of that
disgrace of the human race.
But these apologists of Lopez do not, so far as I
have seen, deny any of the speciilc crimes charged
against him. They only say that his oitenses have
been exaggerated ; that he has not killed his mother;
that he has not killed his Vice-President, as was re
ported some mouths ago. But no one denies that he
has killed his brother, his Foreign Minister, his Chief
Justice, his two brothers-in-law. his bishop, and
many priests, besides nearly every foreiguer (over
coo in number) in Paraguay eighteen months ago.
None of the admirers of Lopez will deny what I,
and several others now In England, know to be
true. Tho few English and other foreigners yet
alive in Paraguay are permitted to live by Lopez
because they are useful to him. But If one of them
shall escape to coutlrm and add to what I and others
have said of his cruelties and crimeB, they may, like
those who have already escaped, thank the fortune
of war, and not the protecting shields of their own
Governments. Your obedient sorvant,
ClIAKI.KSA. WASHBUKW,
Ex-Minister of the United States in Paraguay.

The Truth About the Paraguayan Captives.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
It has been lately stated in the London corres
pondence of tho leading Rio journal that the
tiovernmeut were unwilling to publish any
Hiver Plate papers during tho past session, lor
fear ol endangering the lives of British subjects
who are with Lopez iu Paraguay. If there was
any truth in this btatemeat, the fear must have
evaporated, before the end of the session, when
the River Plate correspondence was given on the
motion of Mr. E. Potter. From various no
tices in tho new work ou Paraguay, by Mr. Mas
tennan, which conlirm and are coufirmed by
Mr. Thompson's late narrative, we cannot feel
so sure of the safety of our countrymen. Mr.
Masterman himself was put to the torture, and
had a very narrow escape of death. He men
tions an Englishman, Watts, whose contract with
Lopez had expired, and who was imprisoned and
shot, leaving a wife and several children. To
Mr. Musterinan's thrilliug story is appended a
statement by Mr. Alonzo Taylor, another .Eng
lishman, also Imprisoned and tortured, who
vouches for the execution of Watts aud another
Englishman, named Stark, and the death of a
third from cruel treatment:
t saw .Mr. Stark, a kind old gentleman, and a
British merchant. He had resided in Asuncion
many jars, and was greatly esteemed aud respected.
He looked very ill and dejected. I was not allowed
to speak to him; but I saw him Hogged, and often
treated very brutally other wavs. Ho was shot,
with a batch of other prisoners, about the beginning
of September, ltss. John Watts, another English
man, who was chief eugineer of one of the gun
boats, aud Manlove, an American, were shot on the
tame day. To the best of my knowledge, only two
.Englishmen were shot by Lopez; the other, Mr.
Oliver, died from starvation aud exposure, as did one
of my companions the day after my arrival.
Mr. A. Taylor's statement, made at Buenos
Ayres In January, Is furnished by Mr. Kussell
fcihaw, civil engineer, now In London. Mr. Mas
terman was formerly of the medical stall of her
Majesty's Thirty-second Kcghuent; so that there
are means of testing the credulity of the new
w itnesses to the barbarities of Lopez.

Raker's) Expedition.
The expedition to Central Africa, under Sir
Bamuel Baker, was about to commence Its jour
ney. The force under his command consists of
1500 of the Viceroy's best troops, and five river
steamers, which have been constructed in Eng
land will also be at his disposal. It was stated
that' hostilities would be at once commenced
against the ban tribe, who refuse to acknow
ledge the authority of tho Viceroy. Sanguine
expectations are indulged that the cost of the
expedition will be defrayed in the course of tho
firf t yeur, but we arc not told on what data thcbe
expectations are founded.

The Kumlnn t'lrrgv.
A St. Petersburg lettor has the following:
The Russian clergy formerly consisted of a
sort of caste; the eon of a priest was bound to
follow his father's profession, and to marry the
daughter of an ecclesiastic; similar conditions
existed for the chanters, sextonp, etc. The ex
ceptions were rare. The celebrated Count
Speransky was tho father and the son of a priest.
At present the liberal ideas which have entered
the government of tho Emperor Alexander are
also producing their effect on the orthodox
clergy. The sons of ecclesiastics, if they have
no inclination for the calling of their fathers,
are free to embrace whatever career they may
please; they may become soldiers, trade assist
ants or merchants, and they have the rights of
the personal nobility. The'same advantages are
accorded to the eons of chanters, sextons, etc.,
with the position of noble citizens. Tho chil
dren of priests and other persmis attached to
churches preserve also their former privileges.
Itpinnrkable Kftcnpe.
A very remarkable story is told nv a corres
pondent of the London Times. The steamer
Lady Wodeliouse, which left the Thames for
Dublin, had on board several casks of petroleum
nnd a number of "huge" chests of lucifer
matches. The ship was caught in the fearful
gale which burst over the country lately, and
after a time the petroleum casks broke loose and
dashed ngalnst and ignited some packages of
matches. In an inetaut the deck was Hooded
with blazing oil, aud for three hours the pas
sengers and crew were in a situation of the
greatest peril. Ultimately, however, the llames
were extinguished, ajd the whole of the petro
leum casks and lucifer boxes were thrown over
board. No lives were lost, and the captain,
wnose conduct is very highly spoken ot, suc
ceeded in bringing his ship into Portsmouth on
Tuesday.
Strakonrh at Work.
The London Post of the 10th of September
publishes the following notice:
M. Maurice Strakosch has for some time past
been actively engaged in selectine an Italian
company, composed exclusively of individuals
of the highest talent, with the intention of
making a six weeks' tour through the French
provinces, starting from Paris about the middle
of October. The chief attraction in his promised
programme appears to be Rossini's now famous
Petite Mesne Holmnelle, the execution of which
is certain, with such a combination of first-class
performers as M. Strakosch has combined, to
attract attention even in the remotest districts.
Madame Marietta Alboui (tho Countess Pepoli),
the fascinating Marie Battu, Henri Viouxtomps,
and Bottisini, nave all accepted engagements in
this troupe. But in addition to these popular
favorites M. Strakosch has also been fortunate
enough to secure the services of the renowned
Tom Hohler, who long since attained the
highest position that has ever yet been achieved
by any English tenor.
Prince Napoleon.
Fome malicious fellow, who has read with in
credulous eyes Prince Napoleon's recent Demo

has found all Democratic though he be in the
destruction of the republic and in the re-establishment
of the empire: lie is first prince of
the blood, grand cross of the Legion of Honor,
member of tho Privy Council, major-general,
senator; he has $1200,000, gold, a year; 16,6!X)
6J0-IOO, gold, a month; he is warmed, lighted,
served; has his carriages and furniture at the
expense of tho Emperor; he has a household
containing two chamberlains, one honorary
chamberlain, one private secretary, four aides-de-camp,
and two orderly . olHcers, while his
wife has two maids of honor and three com
panions; he has tho Palais Royal for his winter
residence, Mendon for his spring residence, Ville
Gcnis for his summer residence, and Prangins
for his autumn residence. He has his private
game preserves, bis pack ot bounds and deer,
besides those the emperor places at his dis

To the memory of the Scotch patriot Wallace
a grand memorial monument is to be erected on
the Abbey Craig, near Stirlinp-, Scotland. Tho
design consists of a Scottish baronial tower, 1W0
feet high and 30 feet square. The walls are
massive, being eighteen feet thick at the base
and from five to six feet at its thinnest part. At
the east side of the tower is a lodge for tho
warder, and an open eourt-yurd, entered by
arcueu gateways witii uuiu iuuuiuiun, sepaiui.es
the main building from the warder's dwelling.
Above the outer gateway are the Wallace arms,
surmounted with a large Scotch thistle. Passing
through the gateway into a stone arched pas
sage, a series of steps leads to an open octago
nal winding staircase, projecting from the south
west angle of the tower, and running up nearly
its entire height. Arrowlets pierce the walls ot
the staircase at intervals almost to tho summit of
thetower.and bold cable mouldiugs, with moulded
angles, bind tho walls externally. The staircase
forms the approach to several spacious and lofty
halls designed for the display of armor and anti
quarian relics. On reaching the top of the stair
case there 1b a bartisan parapet five feet thick,
aud protected on tho outside with a parapet wall
bIx feet wide and eighteen inches thick. Ou
going round the four sides of the parapet the
bartisan platform is reached, an open space of
about twenty-five feet square, paved with heavy
flags, and protected on the outside with a low
parapet consisting of large balls, surmounted by
a moulded cope. An Imperial crown forms tho
apex of the monument. This coronal top is
upwards of seventy feet high and comprises
eight arms from the angles and sides, all con
verging to the centre aud forming a series of
richly moulded aud living buttresses. Tho build
ing is of freestone, with the exception of the in
terior and packing, which is whiustone.
CUBA.
Attention Conrrrninff I lie Course or France
Active Operations in the KaMteru Department.
Correspondence from Havana, dated Sept.
21, says:
What course Louis Napoleon, Emperor of the
French, may see fit to pursue touching tho
Cuban question and the rei . gnition as bellige
rents of tho insurgents by the United States,
has agitated the press and the public mind iu
this city for the past few days. This has grown
out of certain telegrams forwarded here by the
enterprising ngeut of the Associated Press in
New York, which have been variously inter
preted. As for example, we have been informed
that Prim has had an Interview with tho Empe
ror, and immediately thereafter telegraphed
tho Regent to hurry olf the proposed reinforce
ments to Cuba, aud again, as follows:
"It is said that tho Emperor Napoleon has
manifested to General Prim that France will re
main neutral if the United States recognizes
the Insurgents of Cuba," which was thought to
be the correct interpretation of a despatch the
original of which w as iu those words: "t'rancia
rebuxa aceiun del reconociiniiito tie America."
France refuses action ou the recognition of
America. Left somewhat in doubt as to tho in
tentions of France by these and other tele
grams, the local paper attempted an explana
tion, with poor success, and finally one of them
solved the Gordion knot by declaring that tho
course of France was not of much Importance,
any way, which tended to calm the public uund,
wont to be affected more by the probable course
of the United States touching Cuba than by aught

body of men, have taken the road to Camaguey
for the purpose of joining Quesada. This is
attributed by the Spanish papers to the fact that
they are no longer ablo to sustain themselves in
the Clnco Villas. It Is more probable, however,
that the movement Is one of concentration to
oppose certain operations of Valmascda known
to bo on the eve of inauguration. It is under
stood that the new commander of tho
Eastern Department Is to take command
in person of a convoy to move from
Bayamo, or some other point to Los Tunas, at
tho same time initiating other important
military operations iu accordance with his late
bombastic proclamation, informing tho Insur
gents, In effect, that they arc about to bo wiped
out. To this end such forces as are ready anil
can be spared are hurried forward to him. Tho
balance of the battalion, known as the Gulas de
Rodas, left here by railroad for Batabano last
Sunday, and from Trinidad we learn that some
portion of the cavalry which has been operating
in the Vuelta Abnjo had taken tho steamer for
Mansanillo to join Valmascda. Wo may there
fore expect news of interest shortly to relieve
the long monotony with which we have been
alllicted.
Card from the Cuban Knrov.
A few days ago an evening paper in New York
published a detpatch to tho effect that it lias
been discovered by an official at the State De
partment that the Cuban Constitution, published
in May last, in the United States differs from the
one promulgated in Cuba iu July. The former
is anti-slavery in its sentiments, while the latter
contains clauses recognising slavery aud uphold
ing it throughout tho island, in case the insur
rection is a success. In reply to this Sotior
Leraus has addressed the following card to tho
editor of a local paper in Washington.

J. M. Lemus.
A New Scheme by the Spanish Authorities.
Havana, Sept. 18 Tho new arrangement, at
the head of which staud Scnors Zangroniz and
Ajurin, contemplates the payment of $15 for
each Cuban who does not wish to volunteer.
Every man must now show his hand. Are yon
for the Cubans, or arc you for the integrity
Espanol ? These arc the questions that have to
be met, and no avoidance is to tie tolerated.
The journals contain long lists of names,
affixed by Cubans as well as Spaniards,
which lend all seeming countenance to
the action of the Government. Very
many signatures appear of old and honored
Cubans, who, according to this showing, desire
to Bee Spanish sovereignty preserved intact.
The Count of Pozos Dules, long the old recog
nized leader of the Cuban party, for years the
editor of El Siglo, and whose sister is the widow
of Narciso Lopez, figures in the number. Then
one sees the name of Zaldo, of Jose Antonio
Fesser, and of many other well-known Creoles.
What does this mean ? Do these people really
desire to see the Spaniards succeed, or are they
afraid of confiscation in case of a refusal to lend
their signatures to the manifesto ?
The policy of putting out this paper to securo
names nas been alluded to by your correspond
ent heretofore. The object is, of course, to
manufacture public sentiment abroad. The
thirty gunboats will ere long be finished. They
are withheld from tho use of the Spanish Gov
ernment at present by the United States autho
rities, but a supcrhumen effort will soon be made
to have them released. One of theleadlngpowers
ol Europe will, the Spaniards say, offer to guar
antee that the new boats building at New
York will not be used in anyevent against Peru.
Now. in addition to this, the Spaniards are de
termined to show, to their best ability, that the
principal Cubans of the isle do not want the
United States to recognize the insurgents as
belligerents, or give them the slightest encour
agement. It is believed that many, or most, of
the Creoles' signatures have been procured
through fear. At all events, tho Spaniards now
seem to have no idea of giving up the contest.

TIIE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET;
The following extracts snow the state of the New
York money market yesterday:
From the Herald.
'-There were do dealings in gold to-day, and the end ot
the difficulty in Wullstroeti uotiet. The duadlock be
tween the Gold Room and the Uulil Exchange Bank con
tinues, and e?oh attempt to unravel the confusion only
revo.ln the intricuoy of the situation In another column
weuive nt length the rnntiueof the proceedings of the
brokers to-duy in the ellort to bring order out of chuos.
The met with little success, and nightfall again olod
upon the bun scene of figuring accounts and
endeavoring to straighten out the siuuositios of
the recent enormous transactions in the precious
inotul. Little did the clique who essayed their now
I'unioiis 'corner dreum of the commotion which tuoy were
going to create. Over tho counters of the bullion dealers
t lie price of gold ranged from I'll to i Jb, hot the voice of
the ('old (loom wus silent and proclaimed not those
small fractions which were wont to doriue the exact value
oi the metHl. To add to the confusion of tho situation,
the tiold flunk has been enjoined, on the complaint of a
number of persons anxious to prevent the use of thnir
chocks by parties who are numbered among those wtio
cannot survive the statement which must eventually
come out. These frantic otl'orts to save something
from the wreck in the Hold Itooui still further coin-
ilicate the labors of the officials at the Uleariug
louse. It is only proper to nay, however, that some pro
gress was made towards hnuidation of the claim against
the bank, and many creditors wero giving a largo pereent
nge on account. I'.vnn wiiliout the failures or many to
make good their dillerences the work ot the clearances
would bo labor enough ;but wilon Hnch labor U s'trroundod
by the dithrulties arising out of delimiting debtors to the
hankandor' tho legul injunctions c.'BUAotod with many
claims, the tank is a herculean one. The worst feature of
the doadloc k is t let injury winch is wrought by it iu gene
ral business. The exporting merchan's, who umally have
their hands full id this season, ran do little or nothing, for
they need something like a delinite iiuot ttion for gold
upon which to base the values of their imnnnoditios. ft is,
in luct, a situation of cilairs which reiiiirxs the saUnus
attention of everybody, and it will be well if tho damage
entends not beyond all btiunt. A rise or fall in stocks

in stocks, particularly alter a noriod of inil.it inn. iniulir.
stimulate morolc titnunte transactions by divert in? money
tothem. The injury ol n panic urisns from the distention
of funds which uouid otherwise lie lonuud more froely.
Tho groat credit system so essential to many branches
of business is paralyzed. To duy prime mnrciutile iier
was hardly discountable nt anvtuing lik'i rates wuicu an
honest merchant could allord to pay. The gold gamblers
have iuvolvud evmyone w.tu tlinni in tile derangement of
values. Tne clearing of the wreck in the gold niarltot is
Hie only solution to the preont unhappy state of attain.
The brokers uiaiiiiest a (Imposition to iliscntauglo the situ
ation, and by a proper ellort can do so. The relief which
w ill I lieu comu was loreshadoived in tho easier feeling
in money this afternoon, when Ilia Clearing House made
pin t payments, the rate on call descending from the
extravagant figures of last week to seven gold and cur
rency. lOvervbody concerned has au important duty before
him. The danger of disaster should by eory means be
avoided. A step in time may avert a panic The situation
is a critical one. but prudence an.1 euuigy can deprive it of
luriher (lunger. The damage done so tar may be circum
scribed by its present extent just us a conllagratiou may
be arrested by confining the fire to one soot. The banks
sre not within tho tatal circle. Tho Hank Kxaminerhas
fortunately been in the city during these hazardous times,
und kept a watchful eye upon their condition, it is a
gratifying circumstance that the only bank
which gavo signs of distrosa last Hat urday was a creditor
for half a million of dollars ut the Clearing House this
raoiuing. Ktocks have fallen a large percentage, it is true,
and there is a very gloomy feeling among stockholders of
weak capital, but panics have viRtted the stock market
over and over again wit hout extending their malign inllu
ence to the bumss world. Wall street value are but
ho til loin aud speculative. They should not Ouutrul other
circles. v
