It was generally under- stood at Lima and Callao, when the steamer sailed, that he would soon make a descent upon Bolivia. On Feb. 10, in Arequipa, on the occasion of the new Governor entering into office, there was an attempt at revolution, which was prom} put down. The revolu- tionary ee Band headed by Col.

Since the withdrawal of the Peruvian forces from Guayaquil the prospect of civil war has become more and more imminent. General Aranco had ordered his troops back to Guayaquil, from the interior, as he saw he had no hope of success, and declared his intention of opening the campaign in May.
