In the first months of 1913, the Moro ward of Lati, with a population of between 6,000 to 10,000, fortified themselves in a cotta in Mt. Bagsak. General John J. Pershing, the U.S. Army commander on the battlefield, opened negotiations and persuaded most of the Moros to leave. 500 holdouts refused to come down. On June 11, 1913, Pershing ordered the attack. After reducing outlying cottas, the last holdouts were killed on June 15. No quarter was given to the wounded and injured.
