Superb 1860s albumen cdv of Spanish Navy Admiral Luis Hernández Pinzón âe" a direct descendant of the Pinzón brothers who accompanied Christopher Columbus in the discovery of America . His squadron was composed of three warships: the twin steam frigates Triunfo and Resolución and the schooner Virgen de Covadonga and was involved in the Cincha Islands War,which was a series of coastal and naval battles between Spain and its former colonies of Peru and Chile from 1864 to 1866, that began with Spain's seizure of the guano-rich Chincha Islands, part of a series of attempts by Isabel II of Spain to reassert her country's lost influence in its former South American empire . The Spaniards arrived at the port of Valparaiso, Chile, on April 18, 1863. Spain had recognized Chilean independence since the 1840s, and both countries had diplomatic relations, thus the expedition was very cordially received and the Admiral exchanged visits with the local authorities. They left Chile in July in the best of terms and moved on to Peru. Even though Spain had never recognized Peruvian independence (achieved in 1821), the squadron received a very friendly welcome at the port of Callao. They stayed in port for a few weeks and then moved on towards San Francisco, California. This was the moment when the problems started.On August 4, 1863 a confusing incident took place at the Talambó hacienda, in Lambayeque, Peru. For reasons not at all clear, a fight broke out between two Spaniards living t and 40 local people. As a result, one Spaniard died and four were injured.When news of the incident reached Admiral Pinzón, he returned with his fleet to Peru on November 13 and demanded a government apology and reparations to the affected Spanish citizens. The Peruvians responded that it was an internal police matter, better handled by the justice system, and no apology was due. At this juncture, the Spanish government in Madrid decided to also demand the payment of former Peruvian debts stemming from the War of Independence, and it sent deputy Eusebio de Salazar y Mazaredo to settle the issue directly with the Peruvian authorities.Salazar arrived in March 1864, with the title of Royal Commissary. This was a deliberate insult to the government of Peru, because a Commissary is a colonial functionary and not an ambassador, the proper title for a diplomatic functionary sent to negotiate with an independent state. From t on, the negotiations between him and the Peruvian minister of Foreign Affairs, Juan A. Ribeyro, were doomed to fail.Taken by Richardson of Lima,Peru.
