1891 CE
Chile's Revolutionary Junta, created on April 13, now firmly established in Iquique, prosecutes the war vigorously, and by the end of April the whole area is in the hands of the "rebels" from the Peruvian border to the outposts of the Balmacedists at Coquimbo and La Serena.
The Junta now begins the formation of a properly organized army for the next campaign, which, it is believed universally on both sides, will be directed against Coquimbo.
