In 1908 there was serious strike IN
Valparaiso and all along the coast to
Iquique. 1t was directed very largely
against the English steamship conlpa-
MES interests. There was some de-
struction Of British property and
greater destruction was threatened.
Nevertheless the British minister IN
Santiago resolutely refused the demand
Of the English subjects in Chile for a
warship. He knew that its appearance
would cause great resentment in Chile,
and he maintained that the Chilean
government would be able to cope with
the situation.

that, il7asmuch as the prosecution Of
