105. Integralista attacks broke out during the night at Guanabara Palace, Ministry of Marine and telegraph stations. Thirty armed Integralistas including Valverde, one of their important chiefs who had entered gardens of Guanabara Palace, were captured. The attackers succeeded in gaining temporary possession of Ministry of Marine but were expelled by Government forces early this morning. No deaths but several wounded. Government contends attempted revolt was confined to Rio de Janeiro and that it has been completely quelled.
