Siege of Catubig

A few days before the battle, the U.S. 43d Infantry Regiment (PS) was sent to Catubig, on the northern part of the island of Samar, to stop guerrillas from getting supplies from suspected sympathizers.

On the morning of April 15, General Vicente Lukban gives an order to Col. Enrique Daguhob to attack the Americans in Catubig.

Under the command of Col. Enrique Daguhob, hundreds of Filipino guerillas attacked American forces, armed with bolos, pistols, spears, and Mausers.

The bloody battle was reported by the American media, and Henry T. Allen was criticized for his pacification campaign with its isolated garrisons.

The survivors of Company C, who were nearly annihilated during the Balangiga massacre, also claimed extremely high losses on the Filipino side.
