[273] _Documento_ iii. _Contestacion de Ramirez a Pumacagua._ Marzo 7, 1815. [274] Information from Gen. San Roman. [275] Gen. San Roman, who gave me the account of this battle, was himself present at it, with his father, when a very little boy. His father was afterwards shot in the plaza of Puno, by the Spaniards, and when the liberating army arrived on the coast of Peru, in 1822, the young San Roman hurried down from his mountain home to join their ranks. [276] In October, 1823, Gen. Miller saw the fair object of the poet Melgar's adoration, at Camana, on the coast of Peru. She was a native of Arequipa, with light hair, blue eyes, and a fair clear complexion. She refused Melgar, married another, and, being obliged to flee with her husband to escape the persecution of the Royalists, found an asylum on the banks of the river Camana. Her maiden name was Paredes.--Miller's _Memoirs_, ii. p. 90. Melgar's brother is now Minister of Foreign Affairs at Lima. [277] Information from Don Luis Quiñones of Azangaro. [278] So strong is the feeling of the Peruvian people generally against this oppressive system, that, in the reformed constitution promulgated on Nov. 25, 1860, forced recruiting was declared to be a crime. "El reclutamiento es un crimen."--_Titulo_ xvi., _art._ 123. [279] In 1859 there was a very formidable rising of the Indians in Chayanta, which was not put down until after much bloodshed. [280] Humboldt. [281] Hatun-colla was once the capital of the great Inca province of the Collao. [282] The three latter are also mentioned by Haenke. [283] _Antiquedades Peruanas._ [284] One of the manufacturers, Don Manuel Zenon Ramos, has been very active in seeking for instruction, designs, and models from Europe. [285] _Lupinus Paniculatus._--Chloris Andina, ii. p. 252. [286] Landa sent in a report of his expedition to the Corregidor of Cuzco. My friend Dr. Don Julian Ochoa, the rector of the university of Cuzco, has recently searched the archives of the ancient municipality of that city, as well as private collections, for this interesting document, at my request, but without success. [287] See _Cuzco and Lima_, chap. viii.; also _Roy. Geo. Soc. Journal_ for 1855. [288] This is not the great river which flows near Cuzco, and falls into the Ucayali. The Indians call all rivers which serve as the trunk or centre of a system of streams _Huilca_ or _Vilca-mayu_. [289] Brother of the present rector of the university of Cuzco.
