Chilean Conservatives
RevoIted Against Montt

MANUEL MoNrr was elected
IVA president Of Chile In 1881. The
situation was full Of alarming pos.
sibilities. Gen.. Manuel Bulnes,
his predecessor, had done . rather
capable job. but liberal elements
in the country were grumbling
over the election Of Mont, an arch
conservative.
Economically, the country was
prosperous and Mont governed
with Q Arm hand. The Chilean
government has honored him
philatelically with the 1911 stamp
above.
Mont was reelected in 1855
and two years later found his
country embroiled in civil war.
Paradoxically enough, the upris-
Ing did not spring from the dis
satisfied liberals but from the con-
sentative church elements which
he'd supported him.
History 10 not very clear - to
how the disagreement originated,
but u is believed IL started when
Archbishop valdivieso was not
upheld BY the Supreme Court In .

South now tried the diamonds
