In publishing this very interesting episode of our campaign for liberty, I have no purpose other than to contribute to the establishment of truth which has been mercilessly thwarted to the detriment of some of the men of our Revolution.

The court martial process begun with the report on April 28, 1897 of General Mariano Noriel to General Emilio Aguinaldo as follows:
</p>

<h4>
Most Respected and Distinguished President: 
</h4>
<p>
I have the honor to submit to your Excellency the following report rendered to me by Colonel Agapito Bonzon, who, with our soldiers, was detailed to Yndang to investigate the truth of the rumor concerning our "Supremo" Bonifacio. 
</p>

<p>
On seeing the "Supremo", Colonel Bonzon used the best language he could to induce Bonifacio to accept his good offer, but he failed to soften the stubborn heart of the "Supremo" who, in addition to refusing, acted as a real enemy and ordered his soldiers to fire. Our soldiers fired back, so that the incident resulted in the pitiful shedding of blood, something which our Colonel did not wish to happen for love of his fellow men; still, in the fulfilment of his duties, he deemed this procedure wise. Two of our soldiers died-one from Ymus armed with a gun, and another from Gargamo armed with a sword. However they killed one brother of the "Supremo" and left the latter in the tribunal (town-hall) at Yndang in a serious condition as a result of wounds received in the larynx. They captured twenty soldiers with guns and another brother of the "Supremo". 
From this occurrence, it is up to your high sense of fairness to judge the extent of the evil and treacherous intentions of Andres Bonifacio. 
May God protect us forever.

Maguagui, April 28, 1897.
