can cruiser Esmeralda sailed north
ward yesterday and other units Of
the Chilean feet are being prepared
for sea duty. II is rumored they will

lows insistent reports of a probable

that the Peruvian government Is

southern part of the country for the
alleged purpose Of diverting popular
attention from the revolt.
Officials of the Chilean government

clined to commit themselves as to

Chilean feet to show that this coun-
try VAS prepared to maintain order
on the northern frontier and would
not pemit revolutionary movements
