English: The Civil War in Chile, hauling a 21-Ton Armstrong Gun up to Fort Valdivia, Valparaiso. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 11 April 1891.
THE CIVIL WAR IN CHILE. There is no recent news-of any important military or naval movements in the conflict between President Balmaceda and the adverse party of the Constitutional Legislature or Congress. The northern coast towns and provinces remain in the possession of the latter party, wielding the Chilian fleet as their principal or only available weapon, and collecting revenue from the export of nitrate. It is said that a Government vessel with troops and arms from the garrisons of Santiago and Valparaiso, arriving at Iquique, has been seized, and that the troops have joined the forces of the Congress, but the bulk of the army still adheres to Balmaceda. The defences of Valparaiso, with the forts commanding the harbour, are considered far too strong for a naval attack. Their batteries have been increased by the addition of powerful Armstrong breech-loading guns, each weighing twenty-one tons. Our Illustration shows the work of hoisting one of these guns up to Fort Valdivia, which was performed in January, while the hostile ships were blockading the harbour. |
