Gumercindo Saraiva and his troops went to Dom Pedrito, from there they began a series of lightning attacks against several points of the state, destabilizing the positions conquered by the Republicans.
Then they headed north, advancing in November on Santa Catarina and arriving in Paraná, being detained in the city of Lapa, sixty kilometers southwest of Curitiba.
At the time, then President Marshal Floriano Peixoto summoned veteran of the Paraguayan War Colonel Gomes Carneiro.
His orders were to halt the revolution.
In five days, he came to the area to replace General Argolo.
It was November 1893 and the revolutionary troops were now advancing towards the state of Paraná.
On this occasion, Colonel Carneiro died in February 1894 without giving its positions to the enemy, in the episode that became known as the Siege of Lapa.
The obstinate resistance opposed to the federalist troops in the city of Lapa, by Colonel Carneiro, frustrated the rebellious pretensions to arrive at the capital of the Republic.

In the capital, the Revolt of the Navy began, under the leadership of the monarchist Admiral Custódio José de Melo, who also fought against Floriano.
After some exchange of gunfire with the army, the rebels went to the South.
After docking in the city of Desterro, renamed to Florianópolis after the war, they proclaimed the city as a new capital.
Interests meant that the two revolts came to join.

"They have joined forces to overthrow Floriano.
By sea, Custódio de Melo was responsible for striking Paranaguá, which happened in January 1894" says the judge and scholar Paul Hapner.
By land, Gumercindo Saraiva advanced towards the state capital.
