Chilean minister upsets plan to move refugees from Yorktown
A dispatch to the Secretary of the Navy from Commander Evans aboard the Yorktown, dated Valparaiso, Chile, Jan 16, 1392, reports the Chilean foreign minister has reversed course on refugees aboard the Yorktown. Refugees may be kept in port and potentially landed in Peru, not sent directly to neutral territory. The American minister has been informed, and Evans cites defending his government against Chilean criticism as grounds for the change.
