The Pe-uvians bad nine batteries, mount
ed with 80 Founders, S00pounder Arm
stroncs and $50 FOUNDER Blakeley rifles.
| besides the iron-elads Leo and Victoria
aud three wooden gunboats. In less than
half an hour the Villa de Madrid had her
motive power deranged and was towed out
of action. The Bereguela moved out twenty
minutes later, having received a heavy
riiled shot near the water-line, leaking
badly and obliged to careen to prevent
| sinking. At half past two o'clock the Blanca
and Resolution retired to repair injuries, but
soon returned to their positions and with
the rest of the fleet, except the two first
| named, continued the fight to the end Of
/ the action.
Soon after the commencement of the bat
| tle a Peruvian battery containing two 300
| FOUNDER Armstrong; was blown up, dis
/ mounting the guns and killing or wounding
every one in the vicinity. In another bat
| terry q 30O-poundcr Armstrong was dis
| mounted at the first FIRE. With this excep-
tion, the fire Of the Peruvian batteries was
/ heavy and well directed, and every moment
| became more fatal and destructive. SOor
| after five o'clock the Spanisrds retired, the
/ batteries firing till they were out of reach
toria.
The Peruvians are said to have lost G.
| killed and ITO wounded. The shot dis
abling the steam-pipe of the Villa de Mad
rid killed eighteen and wounded twenty
| one, and ii was thought therefrOm that th'
| total Spanish loss far exceeded that of th'
| Peruvians That vessel had eight shot
holes in her sides. The Blanca was strucl
| forty times, and other vessels nearly a
| many. The Numaucia, being iron-clad
came off very well, but one s-inch rifle pro
jectile pierced her 54-inch iron plating anC
vent partly through the wooden backing
She was fought to receive the FIRE at al
angle, hence her plating caused the shot t
glance.
The officers Of the Vanderbilt think tn,
Spaniards III no condition to renew tn
fight. They had only solid shot so the citl
was little injured.
