[3] He would be the recipient of the Spanish civil Order of Isabella the Catholic, an honor he received due to his distinguished services in the field of diplomacy.

[7] While in England, he met with fellow Bolivian aristocrat José Gutiérrez Guerra, who attended Stonyhurst College and would become President of Bolivia.

[9] Regardless of his radical liberal ideas, Urioste became a close ally and business partner of Pacheco and future president Aniceto Arce.

[10][11] He played a crucial role in expanding and creating electrical grids for several cities in Bolivia, mainly in Sucre.

[12] During his time in the Chamber of Deputies, there were several instances of fights and disagreements, as noted by the recorded transcripts of many sessions, involving Urioste.

Conservative President Severo Fernández wanted to settle the decade-long debate regarding what city was officially the Bolivian capital.

The liberals had done so strategically since if they vetoed they would provoke the inhabitants of the capital, however, if it was approved they could convince the people and the garrison of La Paz (under the orders of Colonel José Manuel Pando) to mount an insurrection.

On November 14, a Federal Committee was created and chaired by Colonel Pando while its deputies defended their cause in Congress.

[17] In response, on December 12, with the people of La Paz in their favor, a Federal Board of Liberals and some authorities who switched sides (the Prefect and Commander General Serapio Reyes Ortiz and the Minister of Instruction Macario Pinilla) was formed.

[18] Now in La Paz, Urioste denounced several other liberals from Sucre that had abandoned the cause and flipped to the Conservative Party.

[9] Fernández decided to march on La Paz with the three divisions stationed in Sucre (Bolívar, Junín and Hussars).

During their march to reinforce the president, the government forces plundered the indigenous populations in the countryside,[21] an action which Urioste denounced and would later create a charity fund for the affected families.

He would also work as a banker and administrator, as he came to be the General Manager of the Argandoña Bank, where he played a crucial role in its creation and flourishment.
