    Rizal arrived in Madrid in early August 1890 and immediately sought help from the Filipino colony and liberal Spanish newspapers to secure justice for oppressed tenants in Calamba. He challenged Retana, a bitter enemy who attacked Filipinos in Spanish newspapers, to a duel after Retana published an article falsely claiming Rizal's family had not paid rents. Rizal also received a letter from Leonor Rivera announcing her upcoming marriage to an Englishman, asking for his forgiveness. Toward the end of 1890, an unfortunate rivalry arose between Rizal and Del Pilar for leadership among Filipinos in Spain, dividing them into hostile camps.

    Luna uttered certain unsavory remarks about Nellie, Rizal heard him and angered by
    the slanderous remarks, he challenged Luna, his friend, to a duel. Fortunately, Luna

    good friends again

    Spain. Retana wrote an article in La Epoca, asserting that the family and friends of
    Rizal had not paid their rents so they were ejected from their lands in Calamba by

    seconds to Retana with his challenge to a duel
