The San Francisco homeward from Chile reports the fall of Valparaiso followed Balmaceda’s defeat with reported carnage. Admiral Brown says reports of Iquique bombardment were exaggerated as insurgent vessels stayed offshore. He notes a full official report will reach Washington soon and defends actions on Quintero and cable cutting as mischaracterized by Balmaceda supporters.
