[Sidenote: Their Conquest.] Whilst the Business remain’d in this ill posture, or rather confusion, _Cibanus_, Brother to the imprison’d _Caunaboa_, rais’d an Army of five thousand Men: the _Spaniards_, divided into five Companies, march’d to meet him; and their Enemies being naked, and having no other Arms than Bowes, Arrows, and Clubs, after some little resistance, were soon dissipated and put to flight, but overtaken by the _Spanish_ Horse, many of them were taken Prisoners, and others forc’d to skulk and hide themselves on the tops of Mountains. [Sidenote: Horible Tempest.] [Sidenote: A remarkable passage concerning _Bartholomew Columbus_.] [Sidenote: Brave reception of a King in _Hispaniola_.] Shortly after this Battel hapned a Huricane, mix’d with Thunder-claps, renting great pieces from the Rocks, and the Wind blowing out of the East, threw down Houses and Trees, some of which were carry’d a vast heighth into the Air; three Ships that rode in the Harbor, broke their new Cables, and split against the Rocks. The _Spaniards_ expected nought else, but that with this excessive Tempest the Day of Judgment was at hand. And on the other side, the Islanders ascribed this raging of Heavens to the _Spaniards_ wickedness. This Storm past, and the Air setled, _Columbus_ gave order for the building of two new Ships there, with which in _March_, _Anno 1495._ he return’d to _Spain_; where in _Medina del Campo_ he gave an account at the Court about the discover’d Countreys; where also Sentence was pass’d on several _Spaniards_, and chiefly concerning the _Benedictine_ Monk _Boilus_, who out of meer malice pass’d by him at Mass with the Host, while he gave it to others, without any distinction. Then he gave a further account, that his Brother _Bartholomew_ had found, sixty Leagues beyond _Isabella_, several deep Pits, the uppermost Ground of which Sifted, produced abundance of Gold. Moreover, that he had built the Castle _Aurea_ there in three Moneths time with little trouble: but because Provisions grew scarce there, he found himself necessitated to remove, but left ten Men in the Garrison, and had sent three hundred of the Islanders with their Governors to _Spain_. He also built the Castle _Dominico_, on the South-side of _Hispaniola_; from whence he had travell’d into the Countrey to the River _Naiba_: where, upon this Shore the King _Beuchio Anacauchoa_ Encamp’d himself against the _Naibans_, to bring them, besides several other People, under his subjection. That _Bartholomew_ demanded Tribute of _Anacauchoa_, which he immediately promis’d to pay, and disbanded his Forces, conducting _Bartholomew_ above thirty Leagues on his Way, along a Path on both sides sown with Hemp, and planted with Cotton-Trees, to his Palace _Xaraqua_, in the West of _Hispaniola_, where he was received in great state: Thirty of the Kings Wives walk’d before, carrying in their Hands Boughs of Palm-trees, and both Sung and
