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. An American who was injurered was almost reached with his mouth holding a kris by the injured Hassan.[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 the him despite being shot 32 times already by Krag rifle bullets.[12]
