In 1858, another Dispensation was granted by Grand Master Heard, for a third Lodge in Chili, to be held at Valparaiso, under the name of "Southern-Cross Lodge." It was regularly organized, and in the following year made its returns and paid its dues, together with the fee for a Charter, which was forthwith forwarded to the petitioners ; but it is believed that the Lodge was never constituted under it. All the papers relating to the case were destroyed at the burning of the Temple in 1855; but the chairman of your committee is under the impression that the Charter was lost at sea in its transmission, and that the petitioners soon after abandoned the enterprise and connected themselves with Bethesda Lodge. Your committee, not receiving the papers referred to them, in sufficient season to attend to the duty personally, recommend that the Grand Secretary be directed to communicate with the Deputy for Chili on the subject.

HISTORY
FROM CENTENARY HISTORY OF BETHESDA LODGE, VALPARAISO, SEPTEMBER 1953
From Proceedings, Page 1953-273:
"In August, 1858, Bethesda Lodge was asked to recommend a Charter from the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Massachusetts for a new Lodge in Valparaiso, to be called Republican Lodge. The name was subsequently changed to Southern Cross, and a dispensation was granted as requested. The first meeting of this Lodge was held on the 28th day of December, 1858, and worked until February, 1860, when it finally closed down."
