three priests Fr. Mariano Gomez, Fr. Jose Burgos, and Fr. Jacinto Zamora (i.e., GOMBURZA)

fail because God is with them coupled with promises of rewards such as employment, wealth,
and ranks in the army.

 In the evening of January 20, 1872, fireworks were displayed and rockets fired into the air to

200 native soldiers under the leadership of Sergeant La Madrid rose up in arms, assassinated the
commander of the fort and wounded his wife.

Prisoners pointed out these individuals (and several other Filipinos) as instigators:

 GOMBURZA
