He felt that he was about ready to lead a succesful revolt in May 1896. However, before he could act, the Katipunan was discovered by the authorities. More than 100 katipuneros assembled with him at Pugad Lawin, Caloocan on August 23, 896 and tore their cedulas. Since the time the Katipunan was discovered, they evaded arrest, won uncertain victories and incurred severe defeats, this prompted the Magdiwang faction to invite Bonifacio to Cavite to settle thier differences and remain united.
An assembly was called at Tajeros, Cavite. Bonifacio presided the conference to establish the Republic of the Philippines. In the election, Emilio Aguinaldo was elected President, Mariano Trias, Vice President and Bonifacio as Secretary of the Interior. Daniel Tirona questioned Bonifacio’s qualifications, and Bonifacio was offended. Evoking his authority as the supreme head of the katipunan, he declared the proceeding void. Bonifacio moved to Naic, Cavite and started to form his own government and army. Meantime, the advacing troops of Spanish General Camilo de Polavia threatened to capture Cavite. Aguinaldo ordered Gen Po del Pilar and Noriel who were being given new higher positions to leave the bonifacio camp and go back to theie duties.
Bonifacio with his family and men left Naic for Indang. On his return from Montalban, Aguinaldo sent men to arrest him, but Bonifacio resisted arrest and was wounded. He faced a trial for acts inimical to the existence of the new government and was given the death sentence by a military tribunal. Aguinaldo’s men executed him in the mountains of Maragondon, Cavite on May 10, 1897.
