B THE PARAGUAYAN WAR. ee ' Reply of Prosident Lopez to the Demand of the Allies for Hie Surrender—He Decjines to Comply—Is Willing to Treat for Peace on Terms of Hquality. WASHINGTON, June 27, 1669. The following is the answer of President Lopez © the summons by the allies to surrounder:— HEADQUARTERS IN PARAGUAY, 1868—3 P. 24, A ‘The Marshal President of the republic of xaraquay might well bold himself excused from giving a writ ten ay AY your excellencies, the generals-in-chief of the allied armies engaged in war with the nation over which he because of the tone and unusual and inconsistent with the honor of & Bo! and the dignity of the Chief Magistrate, with which your excelivucies have taken occasion to convey to me the intimation to lay down my arms within the space of twelve hours in order to ter- minate so prolonged a struggle, threatening to throw upon my head the blood which been already tied and which bas yeu to flow i I do not consent to the lay- mg down of arms, and holding me re- réspousibie in person before mv country, the nations whoh your excellencies represent and the civilized worid, Nevertheless | choose to impose upon myself tais duty, rendering thus a tribute to that same viood 80 generously poured out as well by my peo- ple as by those with Who they fight, as also to the sentiment of religion, numanity and civilization, which your exceileacies tnvoke in your demand, ‘These same sentiments are precisely those which in- uenced me more than two years since to rise above all the oficial discourtesy wity which the elected ruler of my country has been treated in the war.

The Vice President and Mrs. Colfax left this city on Saturday moraing for Newport, where they are the guests of Thomas Coggeshall, an old friend of Mr. Colfax. During the day they visited various places of interest, including Fort Adams, where they were received by Generat Hunt and staff, with the Vice President’s salute from the guns of the fort. From Fort Adams the party were rowed in the gov- ernment barge across to Lime Rocks Lighthouse, and made a surprise call on Miss Ida Lewis, to whom the Vice President expressed the gratitude of the nation for her noble heroism as manifested in saving eleven lives at various times at the sk of her own. bee” Mr. and Mra.

F, Dixon, 18 THIS THE CUBAN? A Steamer “Bri ter in the Bay. Last evening information was received from the Lower Bay stating that the steamship Catharine Whiting, which cleared from this port for Galveston and Key West on Saturday last, had peen stopped in the bay and anchored under the guns of the reve. nue cutter McCullough at short range. The Hexawp of yesterday contained a full account of the departure of a vessel from this port late on Saturday night with 800 Cuban recruits on board, under command of Colonel Ryan. It was weil known that the warm, murky atmosphere and the rain of Saturday night resulted in a heavy fog setting in, which was reported to prevall with great density from George's Banks to Cape Hatteras, and it was deemed probable by seafaring men that the vessels which salled on Saturday hepce would be detained until yesterday morning. 18 could not be ascertained on Saturday evening what the name of the Cuban craft was, and it is quite possible that the vessel detained may be the filibusters’ vessel, un- less she took all the risks and actuatly crept away through the fog. Of course her commander must be aware that to remain in the bay untii morning would be certain to result in detection, and under these circumstances it is also quite possible that he would take any risk to get off. Meantime there is cause for anxiety until the matter ts determined. TELEGRAPHIC REWS ITEMS, The United States Circuit Court at Raleigh, N.

The rush yesterday to Staten “land was immense, From nine o'clock im the fore..0on to four tn the afternoon every boat that left was “fowded from top to bottom. An abounding multitude of quiet, well Gressed pleasure seeking Germans we. amoug the Visitors to the island Eden, but all classes and all nationalities were adequately represented, Tue boat that left at twelve o’clock was uncomfortably crowded, and had perhaps 1,000 passengers on board, for half of whom there was barely sitting room. The steamer to Factoryville was crowded tc the guards, but the hourly boats to the landings om the north side of the island carried away the great majority of passengers. The weather was singularly attractive, Everybody lounging around the Battery, the South ferry or the barge office seemed to feel an irresistible Impulse to get abroad on the water to get the fresh breezes from the broad Atlantic and get the luxury at acheap rate. Staten Island recurred to everybody's fancy as being exactly the place tu spend a day without much trouble or expense, Therefore, it was that these ferryboats were thronged and that Staten Island was overrun with explorers. Tue ten o'clock boat brought down a large picnic excursion party, which disembarked at the drst landing and started for Silver Lake, about one mile and a half tuland. No carriages or omnibuses were employed, and the party, without a solitary excep- tion, made the journey on foot. ‘The sun, however, Was considerably obscured, and no very great fa- tigue was felt by the pedestrian party in their pa- tient journey up and down hill to the borders of the lovely lake called Silver. There 13 no spot on Staten Isiand one-half so beautiful as this—perhaps there is nothing in the whole of this large State of New York equal to it in rurai aitraction, and yet, gular to say, it is left to our German fellow citizens to find out, apprect- ate and enjoy this gem of nature’s loveliness. Tne road to Silver Lake might be rendered vastly more attractive by the addition of a trottotr or sidewalk. The middie of the road in warm weather 1s not the most inviltng path of progress in the world, But the lake itself amply compensates for ail the littie atcendant hardships of the journey. Yesterday al- ternoon over 200 gayly dressed people occupied its border in groups of from two to twenty, laughing, chatring, eating, drinking and going through all the various moods and manners that mdicate a state of high social enjoyment. ‘the most melancholy oceur- rence that happened in a long time to a party o! gay and festive excursionists, such as lounged and lingered om the. emerald borders of the lake, was the rain storm which at a quarter past four o’clock suddenly burst upon the world. Nobody seemed to be thinking of this plurious visitation, and certainly uo Vision was le against its damaging effects. Down it swooped like @n eagle on its prey—quick, sudden, sharp, remorse- less. A hundred girls, dressed in Jight lawn and shod with paper soles or something very nearly as frail, went down, so tospeak, under the terrific deluge. ‘They wilted like crocus petais under a tropical sun. There was no shelter any Where except such delusive protection as the burdened foliage of the adjacent wood offered. One hour’s fierce and incessant rain transformed that bright, hopeiul and happy crowd inte a mass of bedraggled and dirty musita, clinging pantatoons, dripping ayd destroyed wide- awakes and silk stovepipes, and Jadies’ dresses look- ing extremely like a quantity of chewed up straw Paper. Silver Lake lost its sparkling charms, and many a masculine: heart indulged the pro- fane thought of wishing the silvery sheet was turned into the lake of Sodom. Not many persons stopped in ‘ompkinsville, the first landing, but quite a large crowd patronised Clifton Park and a still larges number rambted from Vanderbilt's landing down to Fort Wadsworth and away to Soutiweii’s brewery and the. Four Cor- ners. There was very little disguise in the matter of retailing stimulating comtort among the saloons on the isiand. At the first landing lager galore was drunk on the open green in face of the lazy peram- bulating policemen. At New brighton and Port Richmond the visitors from New York appeared in unusuatiy strong force, Hamilton Park was over- Tun and tle grounds around the Sailors’ Home, at Snug Harbor, received a particular share of atten- uon, At Factoryville there seemea to be w& grand reunion vf old friends and acquaintances, andgin the private houses of that charming village a good deat of old rye and such other exhilarating nectar was freely dispensed. But the terrible storm in the after- noon was a damper that everybody ou Staten Islaad feit more or less. CONEY WLAND, The Breeze, the Brine, the Breakerg and the Bathers on the Beach. There was a tremendous crowding and pushing, and pulling and tugging, between men and women and children, all in their Sunday-go-to-meeting at- tire, as the excursion boat to Coney Island drew up to the wharf and the gang pank was thrown on the dock, with a shout from the jolly captain that would have startied even Rip Van Winkle out of his lazy sleep. Crowding! Why, 1t seemed as if every man in the city who didn’t live in Filth avenue, and who had the good (?) fortune of having a wife and a baker’s dozen of children, had turned out for the occasion. ‘There was the man from Baxter street, who brought his organ and his Indispensable monkey along, which didn’t pay any fare by long odds; the dashing young dry goods clerk from the classic precincts of Chatham, but who looked so sweet on everybody as he tripped along the upper deck, and who evidently felt, in nis inmost soul, that, in the matter of highly-cplored necktie and frilled shirt-bosom, he surpassed all creation; the first class liquor deaier, all sleek and shining in a bran new suit of biack and a cieanly-shaven face, with four or five brass rings on his stubby fingers, made ruddy by frequent contact with cocktails made to order; not to mention the irrepressible young man from the Eighth ward, with his white hat and im- pudent stare, accompanied by his lady, with an ox- cruciating Grecian bend and lace and jewelry that shone as pins aey id as gold itself, In fact the human cargo on board the boat was asomething that can’t be met with every day in the year, and the boisterous way the young bloods took it into their heads every once im a While auring the voyage to make mince meat of some gentleman who dit not swear strong enough to sult their idea of how the aristocracy ought to swear was astonishing to the unsophisti- cated. The little steamer was literally packed with the motley crowd, aud the barroom, which does not any license apd never intends to, and the big, fa man from Vateriana and his litue vrow, who re- tailed cakes and ice cream and candy, reaped a rich harvest accordingly. The sail down the bay in the morning was a delightful one, notwithstanding all the human drawbac! and by the time the boat reached the wharf every man and a good many of the women and several of the children had imbibed so mach lager that it required po little exertion on the part of disinterested arties to get them safe on the sandy each, Then came the bathing. The crowds flocked about the houses aud the proprictors rubbed their hands gleefully, But they were one price men and could not lower thetr rate tor the President himseif; so there was bickering and growling and sometimes interchanges of appeilations more loud than agree- able; and then everybody Who felt too hot to remain out of coid water got himself into’a bathing suit and did his particular best not to swallow any more sait water than he could nelp after he had plungea among the breakers. The men were not the ouly bathers, tor the beach was lined with women tn “swaddiing clothes,’ who contented themseives with iying in the sand am! allowing the waves = to over them, except when some of the more daring of the rowdy crowd saw fitto shoulder them boully and wade out into the breakers with them—which, being a very modest way of entertaining the lookers oa, caused a good deal of merriment among b and wondered wi to the small boys who lined the the Women did not object monte men also formed turned up: and Po = there were “hee and men who laughed ir 38 i i ae He E yesterday was would have dri York Inhabitants to seek the cool suades of Hovo- ken.
