_Pugao_: _Juan Rodríguez de Mansilla and others_--The valley
of Pugao, which is in charge of Juan Rodríguez de Manssilla, at
the head-waters of the Rio Grande; we are informed that it has two
thousand tributarios. They are in rebellion. When they are pacified,
they will require three ministers. This encomienda belongs to others
together with Manssilla. ... MM.
_Babuyanes_: _Alonso de la Serna; Francisco Castillo_--This
encomienda of the Babuyanes consists of two islands belonging to
Estevan [_sic_] de la Serna and Francisco Castillo. From one to the
other is a distance of two leagues. It has five hundred tributarios,
or two thousand persons. They are all in rebellion. It might have
one minister, living at Puga and visiting Aperri. ... D.
_Calayan_: _Serna_--This island of Calayan belongs to Estevan de
la Serna. It has four hundred tributes, or one thousand six hundred
persons. It is in rebellion. It needs one minister. ... CCCC.
_Camiguin_: _Alonso Martín_--The island of Camiguín belongs to Alonso
Martín. It has five hundred tributes, or two thousand persons. It is in
rebellion. One religious might attend to the instruction there. ... D.
We have notice of other islands, although we have not seen them,
and they remain yet to be allotted. Thus in the province of Cagayan
and the islands of Babuyanes, there are twenty-four thousand whole
tributes, or about ninety-six thousand souls. Notwithstanding that
most of it is in rebellion, a great part of it is being reduced to
the royal crown. In all the province there is not a single minister
of instruction, and it will need thirty-eight religious, when it is
wholly pacified. As to the administration of justice, in the part now
pacified or being pacified, the encomienda and government of Nueva
Segovia has it in charge. When all is pacified, more alcaldes-mayor
will be needed, and will be provided.

_Tabuco_: _Don Luis Enrriquez_--The encomienda of Tabuco belongs to
Don Luis Enrriquez. It has one thousand tributes, or four thousand
persons. The tingues of this encomienda live very far away, although
