Note 3 — Chapter XVIII · Governor Wright—1904

Says Brigadier-General Wm. H. Carter, in his annual report for 1905 covering the Samar outbreak of 1904–5: “Whatever may have been the original cause of the outbreak, it was soon lost sight of when success had drawn a large proportion of the people away from their homes and fields. Except in the largest towns it became simply a question of joining the pulajans or being harried by them. In the absence of proper protection thousands joined in the movement.” See War Department Report, 1905, vol. iii., p. 286.
