In late 1890 and early 1891, editorial columns reappeared, apparently written by the President José Manuel Balmaceda or members of his government. After 1891, this practice disappeared completely. Taking advantage of this situation, an opposition newspaper named "Official Journal of the True Government" () was published. The Revolutionary Junta of Iquique also began publishing an "Official Bulletin" in May 1891. Its production ended in November when Santiago was occupied by congressional forces which were victorious in the Civil War of 1891.
