The Hassan uprising was a rebellion among the Moro people of Jolo during the Moro Rebellion.[4] It was led by a Muslim datu named Datu Hassan, the youngest son of the Great Raja Muda Ammang. Panglima Hassan had assembled followers in Jolo's Crater Lake region, preparing to attack Jolo.[5]: 100 Leonard Wood led a force of 1,250 soldiers, including Robert L. Bullard's 28th Infantry, in an attack on "Hassan's Palace", the "strongest cotta in the Sulu Archipelago".[5]: 100–101 The Moro's fled and the Americans burned the fort.[5]: 101 Hassan surrendered but then escaped,[6] which led Wood to destroy every hostile cotta he encountered, resulting in the death of Datu Andung on Mount Suliman.[5]: 101 Although never capturing Hassan, Wood did end up killing 1,500 Moros, which included women and children.[5]: 102
The uprising ended in March 1904, when Hassan and two others were cornered by 400 men under Scott's command at Bud Bagsak.[5]: 102 It took 34 gunshots to finally kill Hassan.[5]: 103 [7] The Moros only had a few rifles and kris blades. The injured Hassan holding a kris in his mouth almost reached an American who was injured. However, other accounts suggest that he survived and was cared for by his relative, Panglima Bandahala ibn Sattiya Munoh, a trusted adviser and close family member of the Sultan.[8] [9][10] [11] It was only a head shot with a .45 caliber which killed Hassan since an American was about get hacked with a barong wielded by Hassan despite being shot 32 times already by Krag rifle bullets.[12]
