Democrats Win Court Bid on Gubernatorial Contests
Louisville March 12 The circuit court upheld the Democrats claim that the legislature is the proper tribunal to resolve contests for governor and lieutenant governor. Republicans plan to appeal to the state court of appeals and possibly the US Supreme Court. Judge Fields cites authorities on the legislature’s decisional power despite militia disruption and asserts records show Beckham was declared governor by a quorum. The ruling holds courts cannot question legislative motives.

Call for Aid As Manila Fires Reinforcements Toward Aparri
General Young and Hood request reinforcements as the forty-eighth regiment moves to Aparri with more troops to follow. Rebels attacked Aparri for hours but were driven off. North Ilocos sees reunions and the red Katipunan cross resurfaces. Insurgent generals Tinio and Hlores reportedly pressured into Hood territory south of Aparri. Troop shortages hinder garrisoning towns, unsettling natives. New Caceres priests say insurgents killed 63 Chinese and 40 Spaniards at Calabanga.
