Peril", lost ; the Tarapaca region (ceded absolutely to j Chile) and the territories of Arica and Tacotm (provisionally). The two latter ; regions were to be subject to Chile for 1 ] ten years from 1884, at the end of which ! time a plebiscite was to he taken on tha i question of reversion to Peru. Which- j ever carried (he vote was to pay a round, ! sum of money to the other. Owing to ; revolutionary outbreaks in Puru from j time to time the plebiscite was never ! taken, and Chile in the interim has con- ' solidated her position in the .provinces ! in question.
