Battle of El Manzano

[2] The Chilean brigade arrived without fighting at the point where the rest of the landed army was waiting in Lurín and Curayaco, leaving the troops from Sevilla in the rear.

Sevilla, who knew about the new landing in Lurín, thought that this wouldn't have occupied the interior, so he continued his journey relatively close to the coast and without outposts observing the road.

Emilio Sotomayor Baeza, head of the II Division, was informed about the capture of the commander of the Rimac regiment, Colonel Sevilla , 9 officers, 1 surgeon, 1 intern, 1 telegraph operator and 120 troops.

Barbosa also reported the capture of 100 Remington carbines, spears, sabers and 120 horses, and as a complement, more than 1000 animals including cattle, sheep and goats.

Among the war material was also the telegraph apparatus, the instruments of his music band, the regiment's documentation and important private and official communications.
