Soon after war started at Manila, American General Marcus P. Miller delivered an ultimatum to General Martin Delgado at Iloilo, further south on Panay. Delgado, who had seized the town from Spain, refused to surrender and Miller bombarded the town with naval guns. The American then landed and secured Iloilo (which had been looted and burned) and also took nearby Jaro.
