Ex-Minister Says Chilean War Fleet in Pursuit
Venezuela's former minister A M Soteldo reports that Chilean government ships have begun pursuing the rebel fleet. The rebels suffer from lack of supplies and fuel, and government cruisers Admiral Lynch and Condell are en route with torpedo vessels. He cites Balmaceda’s means to end the war and dismisses Paris reports as unfounded.
