Item #34835 "On the night of August 17, 1886, as the President [Maximo Santos] was alighting from his carriage in front of the Cibils Theatre, a man named Gregorio Ortiz fired at him, the bullet breaking his lower jaw. This attempt at assassination, combined with the resignation of his Ministers a few weeks later, and a revolutionary movement on the northern frontier, convinced Santos that his intention to be Dictator of Uruguay for life was not feasible, and he sought a way of escape by sending for Dr. Jose Pedro Ramirez, a leader of the Opposition, and requesting him to form a ministry on strictly constitutional lines. At first Ramirez refused, and it was only after many promises from General Santos that he agreed to consider the matter. One condition imposed by Dr. Ramirez as a sine qua nou for his participation in the Government was that General Santos should retire from the Presidency on February 14, 1887," (Akers: A History of South America, 1854-1904, p. 212).
