The first years of the Paraguayan XX-th century were indistinct enough. Murders, mutinies, traumatic changes of the governments were a constant. “At it is more revolutions than Paraguay” it there was a phrase from which many concerned contemptiously in our country. As one of the main leaders of these disorders was the greatest then Albino Jara, each time when the thunder rattled, women Mercadoguasъ exclaimed: “Aipуa piko бra, terapa Ladannik jevyэma”.

They remained such in the power of revolt, Artillery and Infantry.

All it occurred in noses of the Central Department of the Policeman and battalions of safety and firemen - true in the Government-.

In three o'clock in the morning, Police has paid attention to movement and by phone has informed the fact to president Ferrejra, the minister of War and Sea coast, captain Manuel Duarte, and the minister of the Internal premise, Benнtez. But already was late. The facts were made.

Minister Duarte has tried to arrive to Police, but could not: it has been grasped by lieutenant Isaak Duarte when went there, at the corner of streets Chiles and the Star. The same has occurred to commander Ipolito Nunes.

Blood and death

The beginnings plentiful shooting between forces of Regiment N ° 2 and 2 Polices; these were placed in heights of house Patri (today Mail Headquarters), at National Theatre and other strategic places.

The commander of the ship "Release" (eks - "Saxony"), thinking that was told at once about minister Duarte against head of the Policeman (apparently communications were not ideals) and before violent shooting, it has started to do fire also, shooting at 117 gun shots in the Police building, causing the big harm in lives and materials. Only it has cancelled fire when it has received usages Ferreira to shoot at Regiment N ° in 2. It has made the moments until he has not noticed an adverse position of the President. It has compelled it to change the decree, conceding in revolt, overturning good luck it did the rebellious.

Any of protagonists of both decrees

Forces of Police repeatedly tried to leave its placing in desperate attacks, but in all cases they have been rejected by fire of infantry and fire of the revolutionary artillery placed in places, whence they considered them completely dominating.

While artillery and infantry fire atronaba a city, there have arrived to barracks 2 Infantries any civil members and military men of Revolutionary Committee; between military men appeared lieutenant colonel Patrisio A. to sweep, greatest Manuel Roxas and captain Husto Eskobar. To these forces the company of seamen has increased then.

After each attempt of an exit of forces of Police or attacks of rebels of that they took true establishment in the government, they remained five, ten, twenty corpses and wounded men who, in the middle of fire, have been picked up by journalists Raphael Barrett and José Bertotto, are protected by distinctions of the Red Cross, in cars and cars to which he spent them to Public welfare where they have been served.

Shooting from July, 2nd has proceeded without calmness from 5 o'clock in the morning even outside of midnight; it has continued 3rd with the same intensity, conceding more and more volunteers to the rebels which slogan, to be recognised, consisted “In Winning it or to die” and "Artillery" or “2 ° the Battalion”.

Negotiations and the end

On July, 3rd, in eleven o'clock in the morning were, eventually, moved of Police of force of Elias Garsija, but have continued to be strong in other places, such as the Cathedral, Public Prison, Internal Taxes and Railway station...

Meanwhile, diplomatic corps has united taking up a post in a residence, and he has asked on July, 4th an armistice at at war to concern any satisfactory decision. Co-ordinated an armistice, there has arrived to the Palace of the Government the dean of a body Edward Т. О'брайен.

Before the made facts, I represent V. under the direction of the President of Republic. I welcome V.H., attentively. B.Ferrejra”.

Known news, its supporters have dissipated or have handed over as prisoners: Ferreira has been accompanied to its exit Palacio, because of Albino Jara. It finished so an era of the civil. New owners of the power - “Revolutionary Committee” - declared a state of siege because of one month, have promoted victorious military men and have dismissed supporters in the taken down Government, between those Manuel H.
