The Battle of Siranaya was 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
