The Battle of Siranaya was a battle fought between the Philippines and the United States during the Philippine-American War. Leonard Wood led a force against Datu Ali in the Cotabato Valley in retaliation for refusing to obey an antislavery law.[1]:110 Wood used a force of five companies and an artillery battery with a 3.2 inch piece to attack Ali's cotta and several thousand Moros.[1]:110–111 The cotta surrendered after two days of American shelling but not before Ali and most of his men fled.[1]:112
The Moros left behind 21 Spanish cannons and 72 Lantakas.[1]:112 Secretary of War William Taft criticized Wood afterwards for the excessive use of force and brutality.[1]:112
