Jealowsies that reaulted im military reverces im several
‘sectors, Polaviejas counter offensives led to the fall of
several touns hitherts held by the rebels, andthe attiude

difeences of opinion and solving, ultimately. the question
‘fleadership in the province. For thie purpote, the iaders
ff the Magsbuang and the Magcata decided to eall 8
convention of assembly at ius."
Tn the assembly hal, the fo factions met* and
changed the usual greetings. Bonifacio entered, pro-
ceeded to the Head of the table and unceremanicusly
foecupied the chair. He beckoned to the Magdwang Min
Isters to sit at his sight ade, This obvious partial tothe
Mogdivang was resented by the Magdal, fo 23 Supreme
Head of the Kataunan who was called upea to mediate

E

Aguinaldo, President of the Magdalo, withost being in
vied, sat tothe left of Bonifacio. General Emalio Aquinaldo,
Seeing hls positon as a purely multery one, was content
to be a mere observer. He had, however, @ plan of his
town, Since it waa the intention of his faction to propose
the establihasent of a rerotionary govarsment, he had
decided eforenand that in the cotning election for the
presidency he would nominate and support Eiilberto
[Bvangelista,since'among them all "Bvangelista was the
‘best educated "? Bonifacio knew of Aguinaldo's active
clectioncering in favor of Evangelista ad wae deesly hur,
for as founder and Supreme Head ofthe Katipuras he fe
that the presidency should be given to him a3 a zeward
‘The assembly opened with Bonifacio as Chauman. It
was evident, whiea Baldomero Aguinaldo made the pro-
posal to establish a revolutionary government, that the
foro factions would never come to an understanding, The
Magdalo men contended that the continuance of the
Katipunan government was no longer necessary, fr since
the start of the Revolution the Society had ceased to 7e-
inain a secret seciety and must therefore be supplanted
thy one thet would better fit the situation. The Magdalo
people further contended that being small, Cavite must
‘not be divided between the two factions. On th= cther
Fhand, the Magdicang followers argued that the Katipunan
already had a constitution ard bylaws duly approved and
cnforced in the Ishids and that, by viru of this, provin-
ial and municipal governments in and around Maria had
already been established. There. was, therefore, no ne-
cessiy of establishing a new government.” Even s0, the
Magdwang Minister of War, Arison: Vllanueva, sbo4 up
and oaid thet ia new goverment was to be established,
Andres Bonifacio, who had organized and planned the en
tie revolotonary movement, must fright occupy the res
dency without any election, Further, he pointed out that
fas Chairman and Supreme, Ronifacia shot be given blen-
‘eet authority to appoint the Ministers. The Magdalo goup
strenuously objected and insisted on an election, The die-
fusion became heated and eid not accomplish any tang
ble result The assembly vas adjourned and each facia
Jeft without any definite understanding
Suspicions and jealousies continued to plague the
ranke of the rebels, and even among the members of the
‘same faction petty quartels continued to come up. The
Megdal followers suspected the Magdiwang of courting
the favor ofthe Spaniarde, while che same suspicen was
aroused in the Magdivang as regards the Mogdlo. Ina
situation where the Nagdato needed the help of the
Mopdswarg, the latter, o which Borfacio belongs, ze
fined to come to the ad of the former.” Moreover, the
Magdavana followers were themselves occupied, now and
then, with petty Jedousies and quarrels that tended to
emoralize the soldiers Thus, when the town festa of
‘San Francisco de Malaon was held in vantary 1897,
the rebels, then enjoying the aflernoon games, were dis-
turbed by a series of rife shots that sent them seampet-
ing away to places'of safety. Thinking that the enemy
‘was approaching, Ariston Villanueva and Santiago Alvarez
gathered their men and prepared to meet an attack, They
Iter found out thatthe rie shots came from the men of
Captain Mariano San Gabriel, also a Magdiwang man,
who, tigger-happy, hae fired several shats in the air
Alvarez’ men tried to daarm the offending soldiers, but
Instead were themselves disarmed. alvarez was furious
land demanded that San Gabriel disarm his men, The
latter refined ancl let for Noveleta. It was only through
Ricarte's intervention that the two men, Alvarez and San
Gabriel, were brought together again as comrades.
