The ship was launched in 1896. Ministro Zenteno was one of four protected cruisers ordered by Brazil, but they eventually acquired only Almirante Barroso due to financial difficulties. The sister ships Amazonas (later USS New Orleans) and Almirante Abreu (later USS Albany) were purchased by the United States Navy. Ministro Zenteno attended the Pan-American Conference in Mexico in 1901. In 1907 she sailed off Valpara?so for a training cruise bound for Punta Arenas, Bah?a, La Guaira, Bermudas, Hampton Roads, Annapolis, Newport, Plymouth, Brest, El Ferrol, Lisboa, Argel, Malta, Spezia, Genova, Barcelona, Cartagena, Gibraltar, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, R?o de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Puerto Madryn, Punta Arenas, Puerto Montt, Talcahuano, and back to Valpara?so on 8 December 1907.
