[317] _Ambos Camarines_ On September 18, 1898, Elias Angeles, a corporal of the _guardia civil_, headed an uprising against the Spaniards.

The Spanish officer in command, and all of his family, were killed by shooting up through the floor of the room which they occupied.

Angeles then assumed the title of Politico-Military-Governor.
When the Tagalog Vicente Lucban arrived on his way to Samar, he ordered Angeles to meet him at Magarao, with all his troops and arms, disarmed the troops, giving their rifles to his own followers, marched into Nueva Caceres and took possession of the entire government.

Aguinaldo subsequently made Lucban a general, and sent him on his way to Samar.
Lucban was succeeded by another Tagalog, "General" Guevara, a very ignorant man, who displayed special ability in making collections, and is reported to have kept a large part of the funds which came into his possession.
Colonel Pena, who called himself "General," was one of the worst of the Tagalog invaders, for they were practically that.

He threatened all who opposed him with death, and summarily shot at least one man in Tigaon.
