PANAMA, December 10 The expected
Chilian advance on Lima is at last AT
actuality. On November the 10Th eightee1
vessels, all war vessels or armed trans
ports, except four sailing vessels which
were towed, appeared of Pisco, Angamo
and two other vessels steamed into the
hsrhor, the former approaching the mole
as closely rs possibly, and sent an officer
ashore who demanded the surrender oI
the place and was refused. Fire was al
once opened from three ships aud was re,
turned by the Peruvian force on the
shore. This was only 1900 men, com.
manded by Col Z,madis. The landing at
Pisco was resisted so hotly that most oil
the Chilians landed at Paracas,
about ten miles of, and the
enemy marched on Pisco almost
surrounding Zamadis' smsl force. That
officer, hopeless oi further defence withou
the sscriice Of hi, force, retired, after
blowing up the shore section OF the wharf
and destroying other property to prevent
itslialling into Chilian hands. The rolling
stock OF the Pisco Railroad was burned, q
serious loss 10 English bondholders. The
Peruvian loss in the fight Is placed at 100
men, and the ChiliGn loss ct thrice that
number. The Gillian force landed con.
sisted OF the 81 and 4.h regiments OF Zoo
men each, the CoquimbO, Talcs, CalCha.
qua, ChaluCo and AtAcam regiments OF
! 200 men each. and naval brigade Of
900 men and 500 artillery and cavalry,
making in all l0, 900 men. The transports
having landed the troops returned to
africa for further reinforcemeuts, which
Sill be landed nearer Lima, probably at
Cerro Ascal, and thence move on to the
Capital. Pisco is 1875 miles from Lima and
70 miles from Cerro Ascal. The force
landed at Pisco will probably destroy
all the towns in the lea valley and then
enter CaneIo valley, which they will
probably make their base OF operations.
The march to Lima will be resisted, step
by step. To this end, three divisions left
Lima on the night Of the l9.h. They have
with them eighty.fve pieces OF artillery.
Every post oil advantage will be occupied
and the advance harassed and opposed t.
the utmost. The road he invaders have
to traverse is particularly unfavorable for
such purpose, abounding in ravines and
passes easily defepsible by resOlu,e sol.
diery and afording almost certainty Of
numerous opportunities for administering
checks to the invaders. The force lately
landed has not yet begun its advance,
though battalion Of Chilian cavalry was
reported on the road eighteen miles from
Pisco. The port Of African has been open
several weeks, and many families are
ayailing themselves OF this opportunity OF
leaving Lima. Five thousand tons OF
freight are awaiting shipment by the
Pacific Steamer Navigation Company's
steamers, which are making extra trips to |
Chimbate to carry away the extraordinary
traffic there offering before the Chilians
resume the blockade.
