[26] Juan de Grijalva. From W.E. Retana's extracts from his _Cronica de la Orden de N.P.S. Augustin en las provincias de la Nueva España, etc_. (1533-1592) in Retana's edition of Zúñiga's _Estadismo de las Islas Filipinas_, ii. p. 219 ff. Juan de Salcedo after being promoted to the high rank of _Maestre de Campo_ (an independent command) died suddenly in 1576 at the age of twenty-seven. Far from amassing wealth in his career he died poor. In his will he provided that after the payment of his debts the residue of his property should be given to certain Indians of his _encomienda. Ibid.,_ p. 615. [27] This account of the conversion is based on Grijalva's contemporary narrative; see Retana's _Zúñiga_, ii, pp. 219-220. [28] Montero y Vidal, i, p. 59. [29] Retana's _Zúñiga_, ii, p. 222; Morga, Hakluyt Society edition, pp. 307-308; Montero y Vidal, i, p. 60. [30] He was lieutenant to the Governor and the first justice to be appointed to the supreme court (Audiencia) on its reorganization. His _Sucesos de la islas Philipinas--Mexici ad Indos, anno 1609_, is a work of great rarity. It was reprinted in Paris in 1890 with annotations by the Filipino author and patriot, Dr. José Rizal and with an Introduction by Blumentritt. Rizal tries to show that the Filipinos have retrograded in civilization under Spanish rule; cf. Retana's comments in his Zúñiga, ii, p. 277. The references to Morga to follow are to the Hakluyt Society edition. [31] A natural transference of the familiar name in Spain for Mohammedans. [32] Morga, pp. 296-297.
