Reasons for instigating the mutiny

The reason for instigating the mutiny according to Jose Montero Y Vidal was due to the removal of the privileges enjoyed by the laborers of the Cavite arsenal in exemption from the tributes.

Pardo de Tavera describes the event as the mutiny by the native Filipino soldier and laborers of the Cavite arsenal against the harsh policy of despotic Governor and CaptainGeneral Rafael de Izquierdo.
