A relapse in the political situation caused serious conflicts that were reflected in Parliament. On January 9, 1902, a revolutionary committee that was formed by the generals Caballero and Escobar, and Colonel Drain concluded the wishes of overthrowing Aceval, forced him to resign, and in the parliamentary precinct exploded an incident that resulted in the death of Senator Facundo Insfrán and wound several congressmen. Immediately resumed session and Congress decided to appoint his own replacement as vice president, Don Hector Carballo.
