The Battle of the Malala River was fought between the Philippines and the United States during the Philippine–American War which resulted in the death of Datu Ali, who had eluded the Americans longer than any other Moro leader.[1]Шаблон:Rp

Background

Datu Ali was the cousin of Datu Uto, ruler of Mindanao in the 1880s, and the son-in-law of Datu Piang.[1]Шаблон:Rp Ali controlled the export of rice, beeswax, coffee, and products extracted from Almaciga and Gutta-percha trees.[1]Шаблон:Rp Ali held a grudge against the Americans when they refused to let him travel to the US.[1]Шаблон:Rp Ali retreated deep into the Cotabato Valley.[1]Шаблон:Rp

Engagement

General James Buchanan's force started to march inland as a decoy from the west, while the main American effort under McCoy moved inland from the east.[1]Шаблон:Rp McCoy, and Lt. Johnston, led 100 men from the 22nd Infantry, 10 Philippine Scouts, and 140 Filipino bearers.[1]Шаблон:Rp Buchanan departed on October 13, 1905, while McCoy reached the Malala River on October 22, having left behind his scouts, bearers and 13 soldiers on the way from Digos.[1]Шаблон:Rp

Surrounding Ali's residence beside Malala River, McCoy's men overpowered four guards, each armed with a Bolo knife.[1]Шаблон:Rp Ali fired a Mauser rifle which killed an American private, but Lt. Philip Remington's pistol shot wounded Ali, who fled inside his house and out the rear where an American squad put fifteen more shots into Ali, killing him.[1]Шаблон:Rp

Aftermath

The merchants of Zamboanga City gave a public celebration, and McCoy received praise from Leonard Wood and President Theodore Roosevelt.[1]Шаблон:Rp
