On a fresh offensive south of Manila, new Spanish Governor Camilo de Polaveija and General José Lachambre were met at Zapote Bridge, near Bacoor, by rebels Emilio Aguinaldo and Edilberto Evangelista. An heroic victory saw Evangelista killed holding the Spanish at bay, but Silang and Dasmariñas soon fell and Aguinaldo fell back through Imus to defeat at Naic.
