The aims of the Liga were to be carried out through the creation of a governing
body composed of the Supreme Council, the Provincial Council, and the Popular
Council. The members were each to pay ten centavos as monthly dues. Each of the
members was free to choose a symbolic name for himself. The funds of the society
were to be used in the following manner:
The member or his son who, while not having the means shall show application and
great capacity, shall be sustained;
The poor shall be supported in his right against any powerful person;
The member who shall have suffered any loss shall be aided;
Capital shall be loaned to the member who shall need it for an industry or
agriculture;
The introduction of machines and industries, new or necessary in the country, shall
be favored; and
Shops, stores, and establishment shall be opened where the members may be
accommodated move economically than elsewhere.
Innocent as the society was, the Spanish authorities considered it dangerous and on
the night of July 6, 1892, Rizal was secretly arrested. The following day, GovernorGeneral Eulogio Despujol ordered Rizal's deportation to Dapitan.
The Liga languished for a while, but some members
continued to support it. The aims remained the same, but it was agreed that all
should contribute toward the support of La Solidaridad in Spain. Domingo Franco
was elected President; Deodato Arellano, Secretary-Treasurer; Isidro Francisco,
Fiscal; Juan Zulueta and Timoteo Paez, members of the Supreme Council. Later on,
Mabini became the Liga'sSecretary.
