    Chapter 18

    Disappointments
    In Madrid
    (1890- 91)
    Infidelity
    of
    Leonor Rivera
    In the autumn of 1890- Rizal was feeling
    bitter at so many DISAPPOINTMENTS he
    encountered in Madrid.

    One night he and some friends attended a
    play at Teatro Apollo.

    And there he lost his gold wrist watch chain
    with a locket containing the picture of
    Leonor Rivera, his beloved sweetheart.
    December, 1890 Rizal received a letter from Leonor,
    announcing her coming married with an Englishman
    (Henry Kipping)
    February 15, 1891 Blumentritt replied to the
    letter of Rizal and comforted Rizal when Rizal
    confide to him about his agony and broken heart.
    Three months later...
    Rizal-
    Del Pilar
    Rivalry


    Rizal- leader of the Filipinos in Europe
    however this declined because he had NO PATIENCE
    with his more frivolous PAISANOS esp. those who loved
    wine, women and cards.
    Closing days of 1890 - there arise an unfortunate rivalry
    between Rizal and del Pilar for supremacy.


    Del Pilar- brave lawyer and journalist, famous in
    Madrid with his bold editorial in La Solidaridad; which
    he owned.
    -bought it from Pablo Rianzares; first owner
    -replaced Graciano Lopez Jaena as Editor in Chief


    January 1, 1891 (New Years Day)
    the Filipinos of Madrid met to reorganize the
    Asociacion Hispano Filipina to elect a
    Responsable; a new leader who would act as a
    spokesman of the Filipino cause in Europe
    2/3 of the vote to be the Responsable.

    February 1891 (1st week) election starts

    Filipinos were divided into two rival camps:
    Rizalistas and Pilaristas

    Rizalistas worked hard for the election of Rizal.

    Pilaristas fought for del Pilars election

    Candidates wanted to withdraw for the sake of
    unity, but their fanatical followers would not allow
    them to do so.

    1
    st
    Balloting-either candidate failed to garner the
    necessary two- thirds vote for election
    2
    nd
    vote- taken the next day with the same result

    Rizal counted the votes in his favour which were
    nineteen (19).


    Good!
    I see that I have
    only nineteen
    friends in the colony.
    Farewell, senores,
    I'm going to
    pack my bags----
    until we meet again.

    Mariano Ponce, Antonio Luna, Teodoro
    Sandiko (Pilaristas) change their votes in favor
    of Rizal

    But it was too late.
    Rizal really meant what he said.

    His presence in Madrid only served to split the
    Filipinos, hence he thought it better for the cause
    to depart and leave Del Pilar without a rival in
    Madrid.



    Back
    to
    Brussels
    February, 1891 he left Madrid and proceeded to
    Biarritz, where he was a welcomed guest of the
    Boustead at their Villa Eliada.

    Adelina Boustead he proposed for marriage
    - his marital proposal did not prosper

    Valentin Ventura Rizals friend and companion
    in Paris

    April 4, 1891 He wrote to Jose Ma. Basa,
    expressing his wish to live in Hongkong and
    practice medicine.



    Middle of April 1891 Rizal turned to Belgium
    City, Brussels for one reason,
    ---to finish his second novel.
