Ignacio Paua, who seems to have been the insurgent agent in dealing with the Chinese, complained that the troops in Sorsogón were pillaging the Chinamen there. They had killed 13, wounded 19, and ruined a number of others." In January, 1899, a correspondent wrote Aguinaldo that it was very difficult to collect taxes as every one was taking what he could lay his hands on. Ambos Camarines
"Ridez vous en avant, blackimoribus ambos en avant, you black rascals laissez le Capitan and me pour fightez" shouted Bang, as the black guide, guessing his meaning, spurred his horse against the moonlight bank.
