It was not until about 1892 that the first real revolutionary movement got under way, with the organization of the Kati- punan. Then in 1896 came the execution by the Spanish of Jose Rizal, a Filipino patriot who had sought to raise the standing of the native Fili- pinos to an equality with the Spanish-born. A year | later, Aguinaldo issued a proclamation of independ- |ence, and with the timely assistance of the United | States, and the destruction of the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay by Admiral Dewey, the islands were |on the way to an independent status.

On the journey, Mr. Hurja, an able writer, prepared exclusively for The Empire a series of articles covering the voyage, the ceremonies and the inter- esting places enroute, They give an insight to the whole history-making event which was not available in the daily news dis- patches.
