As the firing continued, the rioters and spectator-g steadily fell back. Four more companies of guardsmen were ordered from Col- umbus to reinforce the 740 troops on hand.

They said, however, that nothing had been done on the matter and that the royal couple were hesitatirlg at taking action because it was late in life and also because an annul- ment might have a bad effect up- on monarchists’ hope for the rea- toratlon of Spain to a monarchy.

The 2nd Bolivian division was deployed strategically for the strongest possible defence of the sectors and at the same time it asked for immediate reinforcements from garrisoned positions. As these reinforcements arrived, they were distributed effectively in a circling movement, mathematically design- ed to surround the three Paraguay- an divisions. The 2nd Paraguayan division was placed in an u- ble position as a. result of this movement and after a hot battle, it disbanded and its members fled into the jungle. The ‘ith division, holding the centre, attempted to fight through to establish contact with the 8th or left wing division. The Bolivian punitive force advanced strategic- ally to establish a semi-circle around these two remaining Para- guayan divisions, and keep them split apart. The commander of the 1th Para.- guayan division, finding his forces in danger, withdrew "his forces sec- tlonally and. as a result, the 8th Paraguayan division is completely surrounded and in a. most difficult position. More than 6.000 Paraguayans were slain in this action and the wounded numbered at least double that many. A great quantity of war material, trucks, and amurlit» ions dump were captured. Later the government chaco in- formation office gave out the fol- lowing additional statement: "Paraguayan prisoners admitted the magnitude of the disaster to three divisions of their army com- posed of the most famous veteran regiments. They were suiiprised by the Bolivian offensive which was carried out with the greatest valor. "To their surprise was accentu- ated by the fact that their com- manders told them the Boliviaris would be incapable of resisting the advance. They were lndigtnant against their superiors and deliv- ered themselves to flight." The Chaco Office said that the three Paraguayan divisions, in dis- orderly retreat. were being pursued through the jungles by Bolivian trocps.
