August 1891 CE

The defeat at Concón reverse rouses the worst passions of the president, and he orders the arrest and imprisonment of all persons suspected of sympathy with the revolutionary cause.

The population's antagonism to Balmaceda had become accentuated since August 17, on which date he had ordered the execution of a number of youths belonging to the military college at Lo Cañas on a charge of seditious practices.

The shooting of these boys had created a feeling of horror throughout the country, and a sensation of uncertainty as to what measures of severity might not be practicied in the future if Balmaceda wond the day.
