portions of the Chaco National Territory to neighboring provinces, especially benefiting the Province of Santa Fe. Revolution and resignation In 1895, the political situation became more unstable every day, due to the evident incapacity of the president; Sáenz Peña changed his entire cabinet of ministers several times, unsuccessfully seeking to avoid journalistic criticism. The situation spread to the interior provinces, where on several occasions the governments were overthrown, thus increasing instability. Sáenz Peña, increasingly disoriented, tried all possible alliances, and finally - before the imminence of a radical revolution - appointed Aristóbulo del Valle Minister of War and Navy. This convinced him to disarm the National Guards, with the apparent aim of avoiding new revolutions, but a few days later the radical revolution broke out. Sáenz Peña no longer controlled his ministers, who ruled according to Roca and Pellegrini's instructions. In mid-January 1895, all of them submitted their resignations en masse. Sáenz Peña submitted his resignation on 22 January, which was received with relief by public opinion. The government passed into the hands of José Evaristo Uriburu, who completed the term ending in 1898. Death He died in Buenos Aires on December 4, 1907, at the age of 85. He is buried in the Recoleta Cemetery.
