Precipitado Mucho and the Capiz Paymaster Ambush
In Panay Capiz a bold insurrecto plan aims to ambush the American paymaster en route to Capiz and Dao. Valeriano, a trusted carabao handler, engineers a cunning trap causing a cartful of money to crash and the herd to flee across the river. A later intercepted note hints at further ambushes, prompting an American infantry response.
