The <entity_1> was a naval engagement that occurred between a Chilean corvette under the command of Arturo Prat and a Peruvian ironclad under the command of Miguel Grau Seminario on <entity_2>, during the naval stage of the <entity_0>, and resulted in a Peruvian victory. The <entity_0> was a conflict that pitted <entity_4> against <entity_5> and Bolivia. This event made Bolivian President Hilarión Daza declare war on <entity_4>, and also forced <entity_5> to honor a secret 1873 treaty with Bolivia. Although <entity_5> tried to negotiate and to stop the imminent conflict, <entity_4>, knowing of this pact, declared war on both <entity_5> and Bolivia on 5 April. On Saturday, the 24th of May, the Chilean Navy General Staff and the Naval High Command convened a special meeting about the events in <entity_3> and Punta Gruesa on <entity_2>, and sent reports of the battles to the War Department in Santiago, resulting in a mass conscription draft being ordered in response. The <entity_1> was a clear Peruvian victory; the blockade on <entity_3> was lifted and Chilean forces temporarily left the area. However, <entity_5>'s loss of the Independencia, one of its most powerful warships, in the following battle of Punta Gruesa was strategically costly, while <entity_4> only lost one of its oldest wooden warships. Grau, now known as the "Gentleman of the Seas" due to his actions in the battle and later for his noble gesture toward Prat's widow and the surviving crewmembers, became honoured in both <entity_5> and <entity_4> as a gallant naval hero.
