Eyre reports Chile crisis and Grace Bros. role in Peru railways
Faward Eyre, returning to Europe for vacation, discusses the Chilean revolt rooted in a clash between Congress and President Balmaceda. He cites treasury funds, 12 million in paper, and ports under insurgent control funding the war. Eyre notes Chilean bonds’ decline, external debt around 35 million, and limited London credit. He adds Peru rail concessions and the Grace firm supervising the Peruvian rail extensions and the southern system projects.
