Spanish Governor Ramon Blanco faced rebellion in Cavite and sent a small force under General Ernesto Aguirre against Emilio Aguinaldo, who attempted to defend the Zapote Bridge, near Bacoor. The insurgents suffered a costly defeat and Aguinaldo narrowly escaped capture. Aguirre soon returned to Manila for reinforcements and days later resumed his offensive at Imus.
