Saturday, March 23, 1901. Capturing Aguinaldo.


A small part of troops, including Filipino collaborators, captured Emilio Aguinaldo after deploying a ruse causing the collaborators to be admitted into Aguinaldo's camp.

The insurrection was already winding down, but Aguinaldo's capture would accelerate that.

Russia chose not to enforce a law which conscripted protesting students, which indeed would have been a bad move.  

A law requiring the conscription of military age politicians and their children in the even of armed conflict lasing more than a week, however, would be a great idea.

France banned the sale of alcohol in overseas military posts.

Last edition:

Thursday, March 21, 1901. Surrenders on Panay.
