By the arrival of the ship Natchez. Cap

VALPARAISO, MARCH 2, 1889.
"a few DAYS since we had a report from
an outpos, il Peru that battle had been
fought, in which the Chillians were VICTOR
ious. but it required confirmation. Last
evening the Boxer arrived from Callao with
Lima dates to the 5:h ullimo, s:aing that an
action had taken place at Yungay, on the
30 h January, between the Chian and
Peruvian armies of abaut 5000 men each,
in which the latter were to'aly destroyed;
so completely ha been the defeat that our
Lima friends consider the confederation at
an end. General Santa Cruz escap d with
some Of his officers, and has gone 10 Bolivia
for the purpose Of raising another army

The castles fSallao are in his possession,
and commanded by his favorite, General
Moran, who has in them 500 men, well
provisloned, ii is said, for five or six months.
The Chlians were daily expected in Lima.
Admitting that Santa Cruz has lost Peru,
we still fear it will be the scene of civil strife
for some time TO come, for already the party
now coming in are quarrelIing among them.

taken out of the castles, and deposited on
board vessels in the bay of Calao, ready
to be entered at Chorillos, should that port
be opened during the siege Of the castles,
which will probably take place. Thus
