According to the accounts of the two, on 20 January 1872, the district of Sampaloc
celebrated the feast of the Virgin of Loreto, unfortunately participants to the feast celebrated
the occasion with the usual fireworks displays. Allegedly, those in Cavite mistook the
fireworks as the sign for the attack, and just like what was agreed upon, the 200-men
contingent headed by Sergeant Lamadrid launched an attack targeting Spanish officers at
sight and seized the arsenal.
