Abstract
We have seen that, immediately before the outbreak of the rebellion in Tjilegon, Hadji Wasid had been in close contact with Hadji Tubagus Ismail and other prominent leaders of the rebellion. They finally decided that the time for action had arrived, and arranged that the revolt should commence in Tjilegon on Monday, 9 July, 1888 and that the attack on Serang should follow. After his final consultation with both Hadji Tubagus Ismail and Hadji Iskak in Sanedja on the Sunday night preceding the outbreak of the rebellion, Hadji Wasid immediately went northward in order to conduct the last preparations in the district of Bodjonegoro.

The only band of rebels from outside the area mentioned was that under H. Muhidin of Tjipeutjang, a village which was situated in the regency of Pandeglang; there was no sign of activity in the eastern part of the regency of Serang. This fact might have been connected with the departure of H. Mardjuki shortly before the outbreak of the revolt; see above Chap. VI, p. 187. As regards Pandeglang, people followed the lead of H. Sahib, who seemed to be reluctant to join the rebellion; see Snouck Hurgronje, in Gobée and Adriaanse, Vol. III (1965), p. 1966.
