DREAMED EVOLT against Spanish rule was in the air, early to the last century. Success in France and the United States led to uprisings in Argentina, then in Chile and Peru. In 1814, Gen. Jose San Martin, who already had won fame in Argentina's rebellion, decided upon a daring plan to liberate lib-erate Chile and Peru from Spanish dominion. For more than two years he worked untiringly organizing his "Andes Army," which would cross the mountains in th cause of independence. inde-pendence. In January, 1817, the advance began. Carrying provisions for only 15 days, 2500 infantrymen and 260 officers led 1600 horses and 9281 mules, laden with guns and ammunition, up the eastern slope of the Andes. m three divisions they climbed slowly and precariously. The air got thinner, their breath came shorter and taster, muies ana horses began falling in exhaustion, and then men dropped out. Dead horses, dead mules, and dead men lined the narrow pass of Uspallata. 12,500 feet above sea level. And there, San Martin and his remnant of an army saw the land they were to free. That first sortie of the liberating forces, across Uspallata Pass, is pic- tured on one oi the stamps that Chile issued' in 1910, commemo-.rating commemo-.rating the cen tennial of Hs strusrele for inde- oendence.
