    CHAPTER 15

    Rizal's Second Sojourn in


    Paris and the Universal
    Exposition of 1889
    Difficulty of Finding Quarters
    In March 1889, it was extremely difficult to find
    living quarters in Paris.
    The approaching Universal Exposition of 1889
    which was scheduled to open on May 6, 1889
    attracted thousands of tourists so that all hotel
    accommodations were taken.
    Rizal lived in the house of his friend Valentine
    Ventura, at No. 45 Rue Maubeuge, here he
    polished his annotated edition of Morgas book.
    Life in Paris
    He used most of his time in the reading room of
    the Bibliotheque Nationale (National Library)
    checking up his historical annotations on Morgas
    book, in his living quarters writing letters to his
    family and friends, in the gymnasium for his daily
    physical exercises, and visiting his friends.
    On June 24, 1889, a baby girl was born to Juan
    Luna and Paz Pardo de Tavera.
    Her baptismal godfather was Rizal, who chose
    her name Maria de la Paz, Blanca, Laureana,
    Hermenegilda Juana Luna y Pardo de Tavera.
    Rizal and Paris Exposition of 1889
    Like any ordinary Filipino tourist in a
    foreign land, Rizal was fascinated by the
    Universal Exposition of Paris which
    opened on May 6, 1889.

    One of the features of the Exposition


    was the international art competition, in
    which Felix R. Hidalgo, Juan Luna, Felix
    Pardo de Tavera, and Rizal participated.
    Kidlat Club
    On March 19, 1889, Rizal originated his compatriots
    into a society called Kidlat Club.
    Among the members were:
    Antonio and Juan Luna
    Gregorio Aguilera
    Fernando Canon
    Lauro Dimayuga
    Julio Llorente
    Guillermo Puatu
    Baldomero Roxas
    The Kidlat Club was purely a social society of a
    temporary nature.
    Indios Bravos
    Its members pledged to excel in intellectual
    and physical prowess in order to win the
    admiration of the foreigners, particularly the
    Spaniards.

    They practiced with the great enthusiasm the


    use of the sword and pistol.

    Rizal taught them judo.


    R.D.L.M. Society
    According to Dr. Leoncio Lopez-Rizal, the
    society has a symbol represented by:
    The letters R.D.L.M. are believed to be the
    initials of the societys secret name Redencion
    de los Malayos (Redemption of the Malays).

    The aim of the secret society, as stated by Rizal


    was the propagation of all useful knowledge in
    the Philippines. Evidently, there was another
    aim that is, the redemption of the Malay
    race.
    Annotated Edition of Morga Published
    Rizals outstanding achievement in Paris was the publication in
    1890 of his annotated edition of Morgas Sucesos, which he
    wrote in the British Museum. It was printed by Garnier Freres.
    The Prologue was written by Professor Blumentritt, upon the
    request of Rizal.
    Rizals errors:
    Rizal commits the error of many historians in appraising
    the events of the past in the light of present standards.
    Rizals attacks on the Church were unfair and unjustified
    because the abuses of the friars should not be construed
    to mean that Catholicism is bad.
    In this historical work, Rizal proved that the Filipinos were
    already civilized before the advent of Spain. Rizal thus criticized
    the historical heresies of the Spanish writers who claimed that
    the early Filipinos were savages and were of low mentality.
    Comment on Morgas Publication Date
    The title page of Rizals annotated edition of
    Morga reads: Paris, Liberia de Garnier Hermanos,
    1890.
    On October 12, 1889, Blumentritt wrote to Rizal
    saying: I have just received your magnificent
    edition of Morga. This edition with your erudite
    notes will glorify your name.
    Rizal himelf, in his letter to Dr. Baldomero Roxas,
    December 28, 1889, stated: Today I sent to Lipa
    four copies of Morga. Later I will send some
    more.'
    Rizal as Historian
    The Philippines Within a Century. Rizal
    expressed his views on the Spanish
    colonization in the Philippines and
    predicted with amazing accuracy the
    tragic end of Spains sovereignty in Asia.

    The Indolence of the Filipino. It is an able


    defense of the alleged indolence of the
    Filipinos.
    Project for Filipino College in
    Hong Kong
    To train and educate men of good
    family and financial means in
    accordance with the demands of
    modern times and circumstances.
    Por Telefono
    Published in booklet form in Barcelona, 1889. Rizal
    received the printed copies from Mariano Ponce,
    dated Paris, August 13, 1889.
    Christmas in Paris
    On December 25, 1889 in Paris, Rizal and
    Jose Albert, who were living frugally in a
    small room occupied by Capitan Justo
    Trinidad, planned to have a sumptuous
    Christmas dinner.
    This dinner proved to be Rizals last
    Christmas dinner in Paris.
    By the middle of January 1890, he was back
    in Paris.
