It was fought on June 4, 1900 in Cagayan de Misamis (now Cagayan de Oro City). The Filipinos were under the command of Colonel Apolinar Velez[1] of the Maguindanao Battalion. Most of them were volunteers apart from some Filipino army men who joined.[2] BackgroundCol. Pablo Tecson's Bulacan guerrillas, which included his brothers Alipio and Simon, had constructed a number of fortresses in the mountains.[3]{{rp|271}} On 25 May, they ambushed Capt. Charles D. Roberts' 6 man patrol, killing 3, and taking the rest prisoner, including Capt. Roberts.[3]{{rp|271}} However, in a humanitarian act, Tecson released the two wounded prisoners, but kept Capt. Roberts captive.[3]{{rp|271}} The Americans organized a campaign in an attempt to secure Roberts' release. BattleThe fort at Makahambus was located on a high and steep hill. The Americans seeing how formidable the fort was tried to negotiate a Filipino surrender. The answer was a volley of cannon and rifle fire that drove the Americans back down the hill. Many were killed not by rifle fire, but by booby-trapped pits bristling with sharpened bamboo spears under a camouflage of foliage. The Americans launched repeated counterattacks, only to be driven back by rifle fire from the defenders. On 4 June, Company E of the 35th was ambushed, followed by Maj. Albert Laws' battalion encountering the fortified hill.[3]{{rp|271}} Lt. Grover Flint tried to flank the hill but was also ambushed, wounding him and two others.[3]{{rp|271}} A relief force encountered another concealed trench line, and the Americans realized the fort was impossible to flank, being protected on both sides by gorges.[3]{{rp|271}} The battalion was pinned down until the Filipinos withdrew.[3]{{rp|271}} AftermathThe American campaign was able to destroy some supply dumps in the search for Roberts, but failed to recapture him.[3]{{rp|271}} American losses totaled as many as 20 dead and wounded. There was also one American prisoner of war. The Filipinos, however, suffered only 1 kill and 3 wounded, making this battle a one-sided victory for the Filipinos during the war. See also
