The congressionalist victory resulted in the government being taken over by a junta led by Captain Jorge Montt.
After the victory of the Congressional party, the government of Chile was placed in the hands of the junta. Captain Jorge Montt, head of the revolutionary committee, acted as president of the provisional government, guiding the transition of power. The war's end date of 18 September 1891 is sourced, but no passage places the junta's assumption of power in a specific city.
