Manaos, where her arrival provoked a meeting of protest, is situated about a thousand miles from the mouth of the river. The people there never saw a foreign man-of-war, nor thought it possible for her to reach such a distant point, but the Wilming- ton has gone farther still and has steamed up the Solimoes River until Iquitos, the Peruvian town made famous by the separatist movement, was reached. The Wilmington has thus advanced about twenty-five hundred miles into the interior of South America and has reached almost as far as the Cordilleras, a distance of only a few hundred miles from the Pacific. e months and the Falls the naviga ached 1500 mil an Antonio, the en- | thre rup t head ing the Gover navy made the e Pacific itait survey, and a were met with, owing chi ndition of the machiner ; there were frequent of the Enterp teen feet made the survey wvery diffi ng the Ama- | mi s were made from a steam launch. | rived sagely > mile: time before the survey had i tied by a n naval | s ving him that the Madeira tin th n to foreign ships of war, Y of=the t the province| | o oo Amazon sted that the Enterprise should | weather i return to the Amazon.
