 Having escaped back to Cajamarca, Iglesias continued the war against Chile in the north of Peru, whilst General Andrés Avelino Cáceres fought on against the Chileans in the Andes.On the Morro Solar, Iglesias had declared "I will not give in; I will fight while I can" and now saw his mission as "to search out and defeat the enemy wherever we meet him".He achieved a victory over the Chileans at San Pablo, Cajamarca, on 13 July 1882 but soon afterwards a fresh Chilean force reoccupied the region and carried out brutal reprisals.
