207. Blanche has resumed the Provisional Presidency and has appointed Lagos Minister of War. The infantry took the military aviation field but Merino and most of his aeroplanes had gone to a commercial landing field north of Santiago. Guns are mounted in the Moneda and neighboring buildings. A state of expectancy prevails.
