In their first major action, 800 ill-trained Katipuneros under Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto attacked the Spanish depot at San Juan del Monte, then advanced on nearby Manila. Met by Spanish reinforcements under General Bernard Echaluse, the insurgents were routed with 153 killed and over 200 captured. Next day Governor Ramon Blanco declared a state of war.
