The Joloans, by the agreement which they made in the time of Captain
Juan de Chaves through Father Vera and the queen (although it was
in the interim government of Licentiate de Mana), made raids against
the Camucones, and, it is said, they have carried away more than six
hundred [of those people] at one time. They have sold many [of these
captives] in Sanboangan, and they are bringing a number of them here
in a champan. Father Belin says that he has sometimes talked to the
Joloans, asking them to give up the body of Father Vilancio. They
answer that they would like to preserve it, because it is holy;
and they say that it is uninjured. We are very glad [to hear this],
although we do not mention it to those outside until we know about
the matter with more certainty.
The father prior of the Recollects came the day before yesterday from
Cagayan. He says that those who have come there from Mindanao say that
Corralat is quite destitute [_three words illegible_]. The ruler of
Buayen and his sons-in-law are making war upon him, in company with
a brother of that Gogo whose execution Corralat had ordered, because
he had corresponded with the Spaniards at Sanboangan. The peasants,
and the people who dwell inland, are molesting him, and he scarcely
trusts even his own men. He possesses no mounted cannon, and no arms
in good condition. The Mindanao prisoners say that he has not even
means enough to arm three good caracoas.
They write from Oton, that they are hourly expecting the lord governor,
because he has written that he would leave Manila on January 26. He
orders the pataches laden in Sanboangan to wait for him, and the
galleon and galleys to sail.
