Underground revolutionary activity, led by Artemio Ricarte, continues in the Philippines and succeeded in forming a mutiny in the Philippine Constabulary near Vigan. Ricarte is currently on the run and several secret service men are on his trail. Governor Wright remains confident in the loyalty of native forces. Sixto Lopez attempted to return to the Philippines but once again refused to take the oath of allegiance and returned to Hong Kong. The Aglipayan movement is strong in several provinces and is creating tensions with the Catholic Church.
