ALLIED ARMIES OVERWHELMINGLY DEFEATED.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-Dispatches received to-
day from Valparaiso confirm the anticipa-
tiOns which have been entertained for some
time of the result of the impending land
battle between the united forces of Peru
and Bolivia and the Chilian army. A
pitched battle has been fought before
: Iquique, which resulted in crushing and
overwhelming defeat of the allied armies
The defeat of the allies was most DISASTROUS
and if the dispatches areto be fully cred
tied, nearly one-haf of the Peruvian and
Bolivian troops were destroyed. The gen.
eralship of the Chlian commanders proved
to be far superior to that Of their antago-
nists and the bravery OF the allies was not
q sufficient match for the skillfulness of
their opponents.
The popularity of the Government in
consequence of this splendid victory is
greatly enhanced, and journals which
sought to dissuade the Government from
aggressive military measures are now suf-
fering under the weight of reversal of
public feeling. The effect of this serious
loss upon the war spirit of the Peruvian
people is very depressing, and this dispo-
sition is all the more strengthened by the
victories obtained by the Chilians on sea,
as they have captured the Peruvian Alar
ship Pilcowayo, and this reduced the Peru
Wan feet to very Insignificant proper
tion.
