Recalled from the fall of Malolos, American General Henry W. Lawton led a reconnaissance in force southeast from Manila across Laguna de Bay, where he landed and captured the insurgent stronghold at Santa Cruz. He then marched inland and took several more towns before withdrawing, permitting most of the area to be soon retaken by Philippine General Juan Cailles.
