The organization of the Chilean revolutionary forces…
May 1891 CE
They are experiencing difficulty in obtaining the necessary arms and ammunition.
A supply of rifles had been bought in the United States, and embarked on board the Itata, a Chilean vessel in the service of the rebels.
The United States authorities had refused to allow this steamer to leave San Diego, and a guard had been stationed on the ship.
The Itata, however, had slipped away and made for the Chilean coast, carrying with her the representatives of the United States.
A fast cruiser had immediately been sent in pursuit, but only succeeds in overhauling the rebel ship after she is at her destination.
The Itata is now forced to return to San Diego without landing her cargo for the insurgents.
