Borasnm via . PERU. The Port of Arica and the City of Tacua. How the Latter Place Was Captured by the Chilians, Nomlnfseences of tho Peaco Conforence of Last Octohere Jncldonts of the Great Earthquake-Shock in 1868, Bpeelat Correapondence of The Chicago Tribune, Usiren States SrrAMeR LACKAWANNA, vAnica, Peru, May 12, 1881.—Tho port of . Arica, as seen from seaward, Is not an nt- tretiveone. ‘hero ts’ long: sandy beach to tho north of the town, upon which, about saquarter of a mille inland, and plainly yisl- ple from tho ship-deck, reposes the wreek of tho United States steamer Wateree, carried « pshoreby the tidal wave which accompanied 9 «great earthquake of 1803. Blenk ind desolnto ‘sand-hills rise in _ tho tear of tho city, and. stretch away {nto tho Interior ns far as the eye can reach, * tho sole vestige of veretation to rellove the {iresome monotony being nn occasional cne- tusplant, which, from Its very nature, serves toaccent the sterilityof tho desert. ‘the perpendicular walls of the Morro rise abrupt- ly trom tho sen sonic 400 feet, over tho crest . stwhich we see the fing of the ‘victorious Chilians tloating calmly and peacefully Inthe + preeze; and, looking closer, we discern the muzzles of three or four " dogs-of-war,” com- nanding the entrance to tho harbor, A mountain-road cut in the {nee of the cllff is visible winding Sts ‘way up the side which faces the sen. Apparently the fort on tho qummitiis impregnable. A handful of men surely night ensily keep off anarmy attempt ‘ing lo scalo the hights; and one cannot but wonder how it could ever have been possible for the Chilians to have takon the Morro, + ‘fo us of the Lacknwanna, who came here Jn October Inst to nssist at TUE MEMORABLE PEACE CONFERENCE * (at which the United States offered her goqd pfices. in the shape of mediation), many changes are evident, ‘The army of occupn- tlon which was here, 5,000 strong, and. the fleet of transports in the harbor, consisting oftwenty or.more vessels, hayo all disap- peared. The life and bustle-of six months ago are among the things uf the past. Upon the arrival of the Lackawanna at that tine, on her diplomatic mission, ne- companied by the Bolivian Plenipotentinries (the Peruvians having remained behind at’ Maltendo, on board the Chalace), she was welcomed most heartily by both Chillang and Peruylans,—for in ‘her visit there was a prospect that a penccable solution ‘of tho existing state of affairs might'be ar- rived at ‘The Lackawanna was to be the neutral territory upon which the Commis- sloners . wore to meet and ‘uiscuss questions ‘pregnant with the deepest interest to the Delligerents, She came as the representa- tive of the groatest of all Iepublics, arid with the avowed intention of pouring oll npon the troubled waters, and procuring, if * possible, an honorable and permanent peace, which should ba alike acceptable to Chiliand Peru. Under the circumstances, it was not strange that more than the ordinary cour- ‘testes should havo been extended to the civil and naval authorities on board.’ Reviews of tho Chilian troops and exhibition-drills were the order of the day. The United States Ministers and the naynl oflicors of the Lacks- ‘wanna were entertained right royally by the highest authorities of Arica and 'Tacun. . TACUA is situated about forty miles inland from Arica; and here United States Ministers Os- borne and Adams, Capt. Gillls, U.S. N., Senlor Naval Ollicer of tho South Pacifte Squadron, and your correspondent were entertalned handsomely by the Chilinn Ministor of War. ‘The route from Arica to ‘Tacua is somewhat monotonous, running throtigh a waste of sand extending for miles In all directions,—not_ o blade of grass or vestige of anything green apyearing to re- Neve the eys. In the distance, the moun- tains, bleak and bare, rear their lofty, snow- capped peaks heavenwards, Evorywhere a parched and forbidding Jandsenpo, whose scenery closely resembles that of tho Desert of Sahara, Atinasta few strageling houses and a row of trees nnonunce the immediate vicinity of the city, and in a few moments the train stops at the foot of tho main strect of ‘I'ncun, Passing through a beautiful street, shaded onelther side by two rows of trees (which Btrect was formerly known as tho street of the2d of May, in honor of some Peruvian victory, but to which the Chilians haveheart- ~ Tessly actded 0 6, piaking it now the street of the 26th of May, the data of tho capture of ‘Tacun), one comes into the plaza, or public square, which is common to all south Amer- {ean towns, Just off tha plaza fre the quar ters of the Chillan Minister of War and Peace Commisstoner,—a handsome house of granit, builé in the pecullar style of the country, with all the rooms on the ground loor, owing to the prevalence of earth- quakes. ‘The street in frontof tho Minis- ter’s residence ts a broad, well-paved avenue, with two rowsof trees down the centre, Ail Uie trees hayo evidently been brought to the cityand planted, as nothing greon isto be seen for miles outside of Tacun. THE FAMOUS BATTLEFIELD Iles beyond the sandy hills, atsome distance from the city.

The power, n stationary engine, was located then, ag now, at Leavenworth street. An endless wire rope was placed in a tube below the surface of the ground, between the tracks of @ railroad, and Kept in position by means of sheaves, ‘ho principle was so slmple that a child could understand it, Imagine an end less cord passing about two upright spools in royolution, and it is evident that the two sides must always be moving In opposit «l- rections, On tha road it was the same, save that one end of the cable passed over a flequtlc wheel, propolled by a steam-enging in the ongine-house, Exnetly above tho channel of the cable, along tho railway is a narrow slit, through which the stout “grip”? of the dummy tightly grasped the rope, and, becoming a fixture tpon It, was. propelled along the track, A working model of the system had long been exhibited in the ofles of the attorney. of the, company, but it may be surmised thatsuch an fnovation was not viewed with much confidence or respect. by the vistting public. “indeed, suid Dir Batee, the Inwyer, ton Chronicle reporter 9 few days since, “we were ulmost ashamed of Itand used to keep It In a little room opening out of ourofice, It was a nent little niodal, with well-Inid track, representing all the wrides, the cable in operation, and dnni- niles sliding up und down, but when we asked any one tn to.see ft assure you it was in rather a shamefaced way.
