A Chilian politician and poet, born at Copiapo, Chili, 1829. He was banished in 1859; was deputy 1870 and 1873; governor of Atacama 1875-81. He published in 1853 some short stories that were severely criticized for their freedom of style. His verses, chiefly lyric, are very popular. ("Poems", 2 vols., Leipzig, about 1880.)
