24 APRIL
1897 - Andres Bonifacio y de Castro, Supremo of the Philippine underground-society-turned-revolutionary government Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan, writes to his confidante and Commander of Manila's revolutionary forces
Emilio Jacinto y Dizon about the detestable acts of
treason/collaboration with the enemy Spaniards that was engaged in by
certain members of the the Magdalo faction of the revolutionary
movement: "Daniel
Tirona, Mtro. De Guerra, Jose del Rosario, Interior Minister, Jose
Caelles, teniente Gral., almost all of Tanza residents along with the
priest there; all of whom were partisans of Capt. Emilio [Aguinaldo];" Bonifacio relays to Jacinto the fraud and anomaly that characterized the Tejeros Convention
elections held about a month earlier, including how the convention was
rushed despite the lack of representation from other districts and Don Artemio Ricarte's declaration about the fraud
of the elections; the Generalissimo also expresses fears that his
company seems to be in danger not only from the Spanish enemy but, also,
from some local [Caviteno] revolutionary leaders (true to his fears, Supremo Bonifacio will be seized, subjected to kangaroo court martial, and assassinated by Capitan Emilio Aguinaldo's forces).
