naca Prado, President OF Ieru, who. accom-
panied by several Peruvian naval officers,
goes to Europe via New Y FORK. General |
Prado embarked on the steamer at Callao in |
clsndestine manner, and under an assumed |
name. There was no special excitement in I
Lima. No disorders or revolutions were in I
progress, or in immediate contemplation, that /
could justify his hasty and secret departure. |
His explanation of the affairs that his mission I
was decided upon at the last moment, and on
account of the excitable character of the-
Lima populace the Cabinet judged it better
for him to depart in quiet. He says the OBJ
ject 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 sew
eral reasons. Peru's empty exchequer is not |
in a condition TO pay for powerful vessel |
which would be match for the Chilean IRON
clads, and there is also standing in the way |
universal disinclination of European Powers T!
to supply a bellieerent with war vessels 1t
is more than probable that Prado has secretly
left a country which would soon be danger
Gus to him, and that his fight is practical
admission of the hopelessness of the Peruvian
cause.
There have been no fresh encounters since
the arrival of the last mail. Bendios army,
closely pursued by Chilean cavalry, was
within forty miles of Arica and has no doubt
arrived at that place. Peru then will have
under arms at that place about II, 900 men,
with which force the new Commander-in-
Chief proposes to reconquer Tarapaca. The
Chileans hold it in force. They have over
IL, 600 men in the district, and operation
against them will be excessively difficult and |
doubtful in their result. Tarapaca may, I'M
der present circumstances, be considered as
practically lost to Peru. The blockade is be-
ing extended, and the port of lilo is guarded
by CHILEAN vessel. The Blanco, Encalada
Loo s N.ll A.,
other day chased the Peruvian transport
Limena, which had one thousand soldiers
on board, destined to join the reserve
| force in Lima. The Chilean armed
transport AmaZonas is also cruising be-
tween Penama and Callao, and all three
of those vessels may be expected to arrive at
this port at an early date. The Amazonas,
when last seen, was at Ballenita, on the coast
OF Ecuador, looking out for torpedo launch
which put into an Ecuadorian port out of
coal. The launch was on its way to Callao
in charge of two Peruvian officers and it is
quite possible that Captain Thomson, of the
Amazonas, will sink or capture her whenever
| found. The launch has already cost the Pc
ruvian Government large amount, and her
chances of arrival at Callao, of her en-
ployment during the remainder of the war
are not bright.
