Based on the information here, it looks like the Administration of U.S. President James A. Garfield and specifically his Secretary of State James G. Blaine adopted a pro-Peruvian stance during the War of the Pacific:

Anyway, had James Garfield survived his assassination attempt (such as by getting more competent doctors), how would his administration have handled the War of the Pacific?
For instance, would some kind of U.S. military intervention in the region be feasible? Also, would a surviving Garfield Administration have in any way affected the outcome of this war or its aftermath?
