| Wall naval OuCcIS, goes 10 EUROPE Via NEW
York. General Prado embarked on the
steamer at Callao in clandestne manner
| and under an assumed name. There was no
special excitement in Lima, no disorders or
revots in progress or in immediate contem-
plation that could Justify his secret departure.
His explanation of the affair is that his mis-
sion was decided upon at the last moment.
and on account Of the eXciteable character OF
the Lima popuace, the cabinet judged it
better for him to depart in quiet He says
the object of his visit to Europe is to hasten
the purchase of a new ironclad Or several, if
he can obtain them, which is doubtful for
several reasons. Peru's empty eXchequer is
not in condition to pay for q powerful YES
sci which would be match for the three
| Gillian ironclads, and there is also standing
| in the way universal Discrimination Of the
European powers to supply belligeient with
war vessels 1t is more than probable that
Prado has secretly left country which would
soon be dangerous to him. and that his flight
is a practical admission Of the hopelessness of
the Peruvian cause.
| There have been no fresh encounters since
the arrival of the mail. Buendia's army,
closely pursued by Chian cavalry, was within
forty miles of africa, and has no doubt arrived
at that place. Peru then will have under
arms at that place about 1000 men, with
which force the new c0lnmandel-in-chlef
proposes to reconquer Tarapaca. The Chill
| ians hold it in force. They have over 1000
men in the district and operations against
them will be excessively difficult and doubt
tul in their result. Tarapaca under present
circumstances may be considered as practi-
cally lost to Peru. The blockade Is being
extended and the port of Ilo is guarded by a
Gillian vessel. The Banco Encalada and
| the Loa cruising north of Callao, and the
other day chased a Peruvian transport, the
Limena, which had 1000 soldiers on board
destined to join the reserve force in Lima.
The Chilian armed transport A,nazonas, is
also cruising between Panama and CallaO
and these three vessels may be expected to
arrive at this port at ali early date. The
AmaZOnaS, when last seen, was at Belieyia.
on the coast of Reudora, looking around for
the torpedo launch which put into a Peruvian
port out of coal. The launch Was on its way
to Ca.laO in charge of Two PeruN ian officers
and it is quite probable that Captain Thorn
son OH the AmaZonas will sink Oh capture her
wherever found The launch has already
cost the Peruvian government large amount
and her chances of arrival at Cal!ao, or Of
her employment during lilc remainder of the
war are not very bright.
