All communication with Lima has been cut off and it Was impossible to learn the strength of either force. It is known, however, that there was heavy firing Sunday' and Monday. Two distinct explosions were heard Monday, but the place where they occurred Is not known. There was a renewal of the firing at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning and it continued six hours. It is reported that the fighting then ceased so as to permit the contending forces to bury the dead and care for the wounded. The rebels, so reports says, are awaiting reinforcements. The rebel loss is thir-ty-five men killed, this side-of Lima.
