Next morning the narrow street was full of dead rioters, showing the desperate and successful defense made by the Jews, who shot the robbers through holes made in their doors and walls.
Hundreds of Chinamen were shot and their valuables taken.

The foreign patrols soon beat the mob into submission, and then collecting silks and other goods that had been taken from the people, they placed them in a general repository where they could be claimed by the owners, if alive.
While the rioting was going on in Lima, the Peruvians set fire to all the shipping in the harbor at Callao, to keep it from falling into the hands of the conquerors.

The patrols were kept busy until the twentieth of January, when the Chileans marched triumphantly into Lima.

The city presented a queer sight.

From almost every house the flag of some foreign nation was flying, to save it from pillage and destruction; but scowling faces appeared at the windows.
