CHILI-PERUVJAH WAR.
Advance of the Ch,lisns O n Lima

PANAMA, December 6-The long ex-
pected advance on Lima is at last an
actual fact. November 18th, eighteen
vessels all war vessels or armed trans
ports, except four sailing vessels which
were towed, appeared of Pisco, and two
other vessels steamed into the harbor
and sent an officer ashore, who demand
ed the surrender of the place, which was
refused. Fire was at once opened from
three ships and was returned by the
Peruvian force on shore. The landing
at Pisco was resisted 80 holly that most
OF the Chiiians landed at Paracas, about
ten miles off, and Immediately marched
on PiscO, almost surrounding Zamadls'
small force. That officer, hopeless OF
further defence, without sacrifice Of
his force, retired after blowing up the
shore section OF the wharf and Destroy
ing other property toprevent its falling
into Chilian hands. The rolling stock
Ui the Pisco railroad was burned, which
is severe loss to the English bond
holders. The Peruvian loss in the bat.
tie is placed at $50 men. aud the Chilian
loss at thrice that number. The Chilian
force landed, consisted OF the Second
and Fourth regiments, OF 1900 men
each, the Coquimbo, Ialca, Calchaqua,
Chaluca and Atacama regiments, OF
100 men each, a naval brigade OF 800
men, and 800 artillery and cavalry,
making in all 10000 men. The trans
ports having landed the troops they
returned to africa for further reinforce
ments, which will be landed nearer
Lima. probably at Cerroasal, and thence
move on the capital Pisco is l27 miles
from Lima and 20 from Cerroasal The
force landed at Pisco will probably de-
stroy all the town OF lea Va ley and
then enter Canele Valley, which they
will probably make their base OF opera
tions. The mrrch to Lima will be re-
sisted step by step. To this end three
div .sions left Lima on the 10Th. They
have with them s. pieces Of artillery.
Every post Of advantage will be occu-
pied and the advance harrassed and op'
posed 10 the utmost. The road
the invaders have to trav-
erse is particularly unfavorable for
such purposes, abounding in ravin:s
and passes, easily defensible by reso-
late soldiery, and atfording, almost Ger.
tainly. numerous opportunities for ad.
ministering checks t the invaders. The
force lately landed has not yet begun
its advance, though battalion OF Chilian
cavalry was reported on the road Is
miles from Psco.
The port of Aricon has been open for
several weeks, and many .am mlies are
availing themselves OF this opportunity
OF leaving Lima. Five thousand tons OF
freight are awaiting shipment, and the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company's
steamers are making extra trips to Chini-
bate to carry away the extraordinary
traffic there offering before the Chilians
resume the blockade.

The Chilians are pushing forward to

they took possession OF Pisco, after a

Pieeo is distant from Lima one hundred

Peruvians are occupying every post Of

that he il not an able Judge; that he

that il they can not have Southern

NICARAoUAN CANAL.
A Talk with General Grant.

WASHINGTON. December l6 6-General
Grant remarked to. night that his inter.
est in the Isthmus Canal dated from hls
early life. He tried TO have something
done about it before ne was President,
but failed, and when he was elected he
caused surveys to be made OF every pos
sibls route. In this way he learned
that Nicaragua was the best. There
were many reasons for this, OF a physic-
al character. The Nicaragua was fur
ther north, more direct, and nearer to
US. He did not think the country could
stand by and see canal built across the
Isthmus by Europeans. 1t will be the
same thing az if the United States had
gone to Suez and tried to take possession
OF it. As TO the railroad opposition, he
did not expect they would be friendly
to the canal, but ifit was built OF course
commerce would 60 on as usual through
the cheapest channels.
