the Journal and Advertiser from Ma
Mia saws:
Only the entreaties of Aguinaldo
averted last Tuesday a civil war be-
tween the forces of his two rival
generals, Luna and Mascardo. They
were actually drawn up in battle ar
ray.
1t was Immediately before the bat
tie of San Thomas that the insur-
gents so nearly arrived at the point |
of beginning to exterminate one an
other. General Luna, when he saw
that an engagement with the Ameri-
can troops was i1eyitable, sent back
an aide post haste to Bacolor, where
General Mascardo was, demanding
re-inforecements. Mascardo's re-
ply was that he would take orders
from no one but Aguinaldo.
This deflnance so infuriated Luna
that nspite of the impending con-
fiict wfh the enemy, he took l 500
soldiers and made forced march to
Bacolor, intent on chastising his
comrade in arms.
Mascardo was nothing 10th to
fight it out and ordered his command
into line of battle Shouts of hatred
and defiance were heard on both
sides. Out side the opposing forces,
the insurgent camp all was con-
fusion.
Aguinaldo, terrified by the situa-
ton, ordered his chief of staff, Col
onel Argruelas, to make pecae at all
hazards. The soldiers loaded their
pieces and were waiting for orders
to begin the onslaught when Ar
gruelas galloped between the lines,
franticaliy waving a flag of truce.
There was an angry conference be-
tween him and tie rival generals.
Aguinaldo was drawn into It. With
| all the intensity at his command, he
begged Luna and Mascardo not to
plunge the Philippine forces into
civil war strife at a time when they
were already broken up and de-
moralized by successive defeats at

The battle of San Thomas followed
and Luna, on whose ferocity in the
field Aguinaldo placed his chief re-
lance, received wounds that will
disable him for the rest of the cam
paign and may cause his death.
