I have seen confilicting articles about this battle. Most say it was a Filipno victory, but I ran into a few articles saying that Lawton's brigade won.

[edit] disputed tag

The title "Battle of Paye" returns 25 google hits -- whatever the battle is usually called, it's not that. The US army reports that Lawton was killed on 18 Dec 1899, the day before this article indicates [1]. This article [2] also mentions the 19th; perhaps it was at night.jdb ❋ (talk) 04:21, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] alternate name

This battle in the Philippines is known as the Battle of Paye. In the U.S. it's known as The Battle of San Mateo. They are the same battle. As for google hits I've come up with at least 5 on this battle under this name.

[edit] Battle of Paye is in Marinduque!

I was indeed confused when I read the article about the battle of Paye. I understand that the battle happened in Sityo Paye, Barangay Balimbing, Municipality of Boac, province of Marindquue on July 31, 1900. In fact, the country has just commemorated its 104th anniversary last monday (july 31, 2006). A historical Marker was also installed in the said site courtesy of the National Historical Institute in 1986. I will look for the complete account of the battle as contained in one of the documents of the US War Department.
