The events I have related in this account of the katipunan and the
revolution
Reverberate with shouts of “Long live our patriots!” and “Death to the
enemy!”
These were in answer to the enemy’s assaults with mausers and cannons,

latter fired from both land and the sea. The Magdiwang governement
honored
me with an appointment as captain general, or head of it’s army Gen.
Artemio
Ricarte was lieutenant general.

I will now attempt to write down what I saw and what I know about the
Katipunan and the Revolution. First, I shall narrate the events relating to
the
Revolution beginning from March 14, 1896: Then I shall deal with the
organization
and activities of the most venerable Supreme Society of the sons of the
