Note 10 — Chapter VII · Insurgent Rule in the Visayas and Elsewhere
Reading edition
From other communications we learn that the soldiers at Alaminos were about to desert on November 30th, 1898;10 that it was deemed necessary to restrict travel between Tarlac, Pampanga, Bataan and Zambales in order to prevent robberies;11 and that on January 9, 1899, the governor of the province found it impossible to continue the inspection of a number of towns, as many of their officials had fled to escape the abuses of the military.12 Conditions were obviously very serious in Zambales at this time.
