| OVERTHROW OF THE EXISTING REGIME by an army movement inspired by Mendes Cabeçadas and led by Gen. Gomes da Costa. The revolt broke out in the north and was supported by most of the army. Gomes da Costa, an audacious, vain, and politically innocent leader, became a national hero. Machado and the cabinet of Antonio Mara da Silva were overthrown, parliament was dissolved, and parties were broken up. | 1 |

| Gen. Antonio de Fragoso Carmona deposed the utterly incompetent Gomes da Costa, who was honorably exiled to the Azores. | 2 |
