The rebel leaders held another meeting in a friar estate house in Tejeros on March 22, 1897 on the pretense of more discussion between the Magdalo and Magdiwang, but really to settle the issue of leadership of the revolution.

Andres Bonifacio and his brother were found guilty despite insufficient evidence to prove their alleged guilt and recommended to be executed.
The Bonifacio brothers were executed on May 10, 1897 in the mountains of Maragondon.
Apolinario Mabini wrote that Bonifacio's death demoralized many rebels from Manila, Laguna and Batangas who had come to help those in Cavite, and caused them to quit. In other areas, some of Bonifacio's associates like Emilio Jacinto never subjected their military commands to Aguinaldo's authority.
