De Goiti anchored at Cavite and tried to establish his authority peaceably by sending a message of friendship to Maynilad and Tundo. Since Tundo is still a province of Pampanga, the chief of Macabebe, refusing to ally with the Spanish as Raja Lakandula of Tundo had done, decided to mount an attack at Bankusay Channel. His forces were defeated and he himself was killed.
Noong ika 10 ng Mayo, 1897 araw na nilusob ng Kastila ang bayan ng Maragondon, Cavite. Tinangangap ko ang kautusan mula kay Heneral Mariano Noriel na dahilhin ang magkapatid na Andres at Procopio, sa Tala, Maragondon. Inabot sa akin ni Heneral Noriel ang selyadong sobre, na huwag bubuksan at sundin ko ang kautusang nilalaman nito, pagsapit sa nasabing pook.
