A Surprise Letter for Mabini, 1898

Jacinto resumed his combat activities in Laguna, where malaria struck him and caused his death on April 6, 189. He was only 23.

Meanwhile, the literary university conducted its first and last graduation rites on Sep. 23, 1899, in Tarlac, Tarlac, then the temporary capital of the republic. It conferred degrees on its law and medicine graduates.

By the following November, Aguinaldo had to disband the government and organized a small guerilla fighting force because of the heavy losses against the Americans. The literary university went into its natural demise.

The Americans captured Aguinaldo on March 23, 1901, and put an end to many great dreams.
