[89] Spanish, _empuyado_, from _empuyar_, meaning "to fasten with sharp spikes." There seems to be no satisfactory English equivalent as a name for the defensive contrivance that has always been employed by the Malays in the use of sharpened stakes (usually of bamboo) driven into the ground, point upward, and planted thickly in the spot to be defended; sometimes these are placed at the bottom of a trench and hidden by leaves, forming a dangerous pitfall. The use of _empuyado_ in the text suggests the possibility that the Spaniards adopted this device to guard some exposed approach to the building, fearing Malay treachery--a conjecture strengthened by the presence of the Pampango auxiliaries, who probably were accustomed to the use of this sort of defense. See Vol. XX, p. 273. [90] _i.e._, "who attains His ends with power even to the end, but disposes all affairs with gentleness." [91] Combés says (Retana's ed., p. 251) that Monte was slain in the conflict. [92] Luis de Jesús says (_Hist. relig. descalzos_, p. 290) that other women followed the queen's example, in order not to become captives of the Spaniards. Combés, however, states (_Hist. Mindanao_, col. 252) that the queen and her children escaped as did Corralat; and that the earlier accounts were incorrect, based on hasty or mistaken reports. [93] This was Fray Francisco de Jesús Maria. The one slain by the Moros was Fray Juan de San Nicolas; Luis de Jesús says (p. 289) that this was caused by his rebuking Corralat for his profanation of the sacred articles which he had pillaged from the churches, whereupon the priest was slain by the enraged heathen. The third, Fray Alonso de San Agustin, was attacked at the same time, according to the above historian, and left for dead, but managed to make his way to the Spanish camp. [94] The name then applied to the region situated some twelve leguas up the Rio Grande from its mouth, lying around the south-west part of Lake Liguasan. Retana and Pastells say (_Combés_, col. 750) that Buhayen signifies "the place where crocodiles live." Combés says (col. 271) that Moncay was generally supposed to be a mestizo, the son of a native "queen" and a Spaniard. [95] See accounts of this campaign in Combés's _Hist. Mindanao_, cols. 238-257; Murillo Velarde's _Hist. de Philipinas_, fol. 82-86; La Concepción's _Hist. Philipinas_, v, pp. 310-328; Montero y Vidal's _Hist. piratería_, i, pp. 165-173.
