Removed material[edit]

I'll keep in here the removed material from the article. It might be helpful to anyone who one day might try to improve the articles related to the Paraguayan War. --Lecen (talk) 02:29, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mitre tolerated his insubordination, hoping to avoid further trouble.^[1]

Mitre had a harsh opinion of the Brazilian cousins and said that "Porto Alegre and Tamandaré, who are cousins, and cousins even in lack of judgement have made a family pact to monopolize, in practice, the command of war." He further criticized Porto Alegre: "It is impossible to imagine a greater military nullity than this general, to which it can be added Tamandaré's dominating bad influence over him and the negative spirit of both in relation to the allies, owning to passions and petty interests."^[2]

Claiming sickness, Porto Alegre was given a leave of absence on 27 November, a few days after Caxias' arrival. He had returned to his post by 1 March 1867.^[3]^[4] The 2nd corps was stationed in Tuyutí, while the 1st corps and the newly-created 3rd corps were used by Caxias to encircle Humaitá.^[5]
