[64] _Aviador_: a term used in Nueva España to denote the person who
supplied others with articles to work the silver mines.
[65] This word is omitted in the manuscript.
[66] Montero y Vidal says (_Hist. piratería_, i, p. 162) that Tagal
was a brother of Corralat.
[67] These religious were Fray Francisco de Jesús María, missionary in
Cuyo; and Fray Juan de San Nicolás, and Fray Alonso de San Agustín,
of Linacapán in Calamianes. See sketches of their lives, captivity,
and deaths in Luis de Jesús's _Hist. relig. descalzos_ (Madrid, 1663),
pp. 284-293. Cf. "The martyrs of Calamianes," in _Prov. S. Nicolás de
Tolentino agust. descalzos_ (Manila, 1879), pp. 184-190. The corregidor
(alcalde) captured at that time was Diego de Alabes.
[68] Gregorio Belin (or Belon) was born at Madrid, March 15, 1608
(probably; misprinted 1628 in Pastells's and Retana's _Combés_,
col. 699); entered the Jesuit order in 1625, and was ordained a priest
January 6, 1633. In 1640, while in Cebú, he left the Society.
[69] Punta de Flechas is the headland marking division between the
great bays of Illana and Dumanquilas on the southern coast of Mindanao,
and is at the south end of boundary line between the provinces of
Cotabato and Zamboanga. This cape was anciently known as Panaon.
[70] See Combés's account of this battle (_Hist. Mindanao_,
cols. 234-238), and that of La Concepción (_Hist. Philipinas_, v,
pp. 304-310). The latter states that the priest who died in the battle
was Fray Francisco de Jesús María, the Recollect captured in Cuyo;
he was on Tagal's ship, and was fatally wounded by the Spanish guns.
[71] This letter was probably written by Pedro Gutierrez, from
Dapitan--of the Jesuit residence at which place he was rector in
the preceding year--which was at that time the chief of the Jesuit
missions in Mindanao. It is located almost at the northwest point of
that island.
[72] Arts. 67 and 69, here cited, are respectively 60 and 62 in the
original document (May 5, 1583) founding the Audiencia at Manila--for
which see vol. v of this series, pp. 294, 295; cf. duties of fiscal,
p. 302. These differences of numbering, and some additional matter
in No. 67, show that considerable additions to the old decree were
required at the reëstablishment of the Audiencia.
[73] This ordinance is contained in the first part of ley x, titulo
xxix, libro viii, of the _Recopilación de leyes_. See Vol. XVI of
this series, p. 193, note 251.
[74] See the letter by Fajardo, here referred to, in Vol. XVIII,
pp. 247-279.
[75] See this letter in Vol. XXIV, p. 301.
