Still later., February 23

[Per steamer Parana.]

Still later.

Fighting still going on. Two iron-clads gone up to bombard Asuncion, and were attacked by several chatas from the Chaco side.

One of the Brazilian commanders and a pilot blown to pieces in passing Humaita. Paraguayans still working trenches. Lopez has electric light in the Chaco.
