We may add here that, "on the death of Legazpi, which occurred in August, 1572, so many unauthorized and irregular acts were committed by Andrés de Mirandaola that the governor, Guido de Lavezares, was compelled to ship him to New Spain, with other persons whose presence in the archipelago cast odium on the Spanish name" (_Cartas de Indias_, p. 804). [13] The Mirandaola MS. already mentioned enumerates the articles exported from the Philippines--"wax, cotton, cotton-seed, tortoise shells, and buffalo horns;" also the imports, "provisions, buffaloes, live hogs, and wine;" also "silks, porcelains, benzoin, and musk." [14] "Because they say that their god orders them not to take out the gold, except on the arrival of foreign vessels." (Mirandaola MS.) [15] Cabit, in the Mirandaola MS.; now Cáuit, a point in N.E. Mindanao. [16] For account of the forest wealth of the archipelago, see the recently-issued _Gazetteer of the Philippine Islands_, published by the United States Bureau of Insular Affairs (Washington, 1902), pp. 85-93; it contains a list of nearly two hundred kinds of trees whose wood has economic value. [17] "All the natives of Cubu have been converted, both chiefs and followers, except two chiefs, Sumaquio and Batungay. These men have not been converted, because they are not willing to leave their wives; Sumaquio has two wives, and Batungay three." (Mirandaola MS.) [18] "In Panae, and in Luzon and Vindanao." (Mirandaola MS.) [19] This word may be "your;" it is uncertain whether the Spanish word is _nra_ or _vra_. [20] Evidently referring to the account of these proceeding which Legazpi sent to the viceroy, Marqués de Falçes (See p. 44 ff., _ante_). [21] The _almude_ is one-twelfth of a _fanega_, or about 4 1/4 United States quarts. [22] Juan de Salcedo (Salzedo, Sauzedo) was born in Mexico about 1549; his mother was Teresa Legazpi, daughter of the governor. He came to Cebú in 1567, and, despite his youth, displayed from the first such courage, gallantry, and ability that he soon won great renown--especially in the conquest of Luzón; he has been called "the Hernan Cortés of the Philippines." These qualities brought him rapid military promotion; but his career was brief, for he died at the early age of twenty-seven (March 11, 1576), from drinking too much water while overheated by a hard march. He died a poor man; but his will provided that what remained from his estate, after paying his debts, should be given to certain natives belonging to his encomienda. [23] _Sangleyes_: derived from _hiang_ (or _xiang_) and _ley_, meaning "a traveling merchant;" appellation of Chinese traders in the Philippines. [24] The _prau_ or _parao_ (a name of Malay origin) was a large, flat boat with two masts, and lateen sails; used for carrying freight, and employed in the rivers and bays.
