On February 12, 1899, the Americans declared victory in Iloilo City after some fierce fighting. The brigade under General Marcus Miller was supported by the guns of the cruiser Boston, as well as the gunboat Petrel. Meanwhile, the Filipino forces were led by General Martin Delgado and "Henerala" Teresa Magbanua (pictured), who refused to avail of the American call for surrender on February 11.

Notably, the Americans reported no casualties.

Within days, neighboring areas such as Oton, and Jaro were also occupied by American troops, forcing the Filipinos to further retreat. Resistance, however, stiffened after the initial shock of the American advance as the Filipinos attempted to retake Jaro by March.

To recall, Filipino forces under General Delgado received in Iloilo City the surrender of Spanish Governor General Diego de los Rios, who would evacuate with his troops on Christmas Eve of 1898. Shortly after, on December 28, the Americans under General Marcus Miller arrived in Iloilo with the intent to "take possession" of the province. When Filipino officials refused to make a decision without consulting Aguinaldo, Miller gave an ultimatum of until December 31 to vacate Iloilo City or the Filipinos had to face their armed intervention.
