Unanimous repudiation of anarchy. Thousands of Sinaloans from all the municipalities gathered in a massive act in front of the Government Palace to express their support to Governor Valdés Montoya for the decision and firmness with which he faced the problem of pseudo-student agitation, arresting its leader, who had no urban transportation to Culiacan. The governor responded to those who congratulated him on his decision, mingling with the crowd to receive the congratulations.
Communist uprising put down. Manila. The arrival of a rescue team is awaited, whose mission is to find a soldier of the Japanese Imperial Army who has been hiding in the jungles of Lubang Island since the end of World War II. The five-member rescue team will be accompanied by two civilians who claim to be brothers of the wandering soldier who was wounded and his partner who was killed in an encounter with gendarmerie troops in recent days while searching for food. The two soldiers, still wearing their Japanese army uniforms, were found by a patrol trying to steal vegetables from a farm.
Offering resistance, the gendarmes opened fire. Government troops search the island where the first Japanese airstrip in the Philippines was during the war, with strict orders “not to fire another shot”. There are still at least 3,570 Japanese soldiers whose fate is unknown. Embassy officials take turns standing guard at a local chapel next to the coffin of the soldier who was killed wielding an old-fashioned Imperial Army rifle 27 years after the Empire surrendered to Allied forces.
Party for Ma. Teresa and Carmelita Cota. The beautiful little sisters María Teresa and Carmelita Cota Salazar celebrated their birthday and for the same reason their parents, Francisco Cota and María Teresa de Cota, celebrated them in a big way, through a very happy children’s reunion. Exquisite snack was served and in the center of the well-stocked table stood the enormous cake inspired in its decoration by the beautiful story of Snow White, adorned with symbolic candles, extinguished to the applause of the guests.

Human rights are not respected. The presidents of the commissions of the Congress of the Union and the Congress of the State, Benito Mirón and Mercedes Murillo, agreed in affirming that the violation of human rights in Mexican prisons is systematic, where corruption and the punishment of poverty predominate, more than crime. The prison system is a time bomb, there is an overcrowding of 12,000 inmates, Murillo said, just to exemplify the causes of the constant conflicts that are recorded there. Illegal detentions and torture are published daily.

Fox challenges to start presidential race. Mexico City Aware that he had begun his campaign for the PAN’s candidacy for the presidency of the Republic, Vicente Fox challenged the candidates of his party, as well as of the PRI and PRD, to publicly begin the search for this position so that “they do not they eat their errand”. The governor of Guanajuato gave the names of those who have not made their wishes public, but who are on the list of possible candidates for 2000: from the PRI, Francisco Labastida Ochoa, and from the PRD, Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
