[73] This name is quite erroneous. The person here referred to was
Tuto, a member of the curious class among the Subanons of Mindanao
who are called labias (see description post, in VOL. XL.) For Manila
read Malandi (or Malandeg), the name of an ancient village on the
coast near Zamboanga which disappeared after the abandonment of the
fortress there. Tuto was baptized by Combés under the name of Martin,
and often aided that missionary when he visited Tuto's village of
Malandi. (See Combés's Hist. Mindanao, col. 63, 64, 514, 756, 786.)
[74] Francisco Lado, a native of Sardinia, was born on June 2, 1617,
and at the age of sixteen entered the Jesuit order. He died at San
Pedro Macati, on May 19, 1677. (Retana and Pastells's edition of
Combés, col. 713.)
[75] A Sanskrit word, meaning "a learned man"--apparently borrowed
by the Malays and used to designate their Mahometan teachers.
[76] Spanish, à las quarenta horas; a phrase usually referring to
the devotion of forty hours in connection with the exposition of
the Blessed Sacrament (usually occurring in times of public danger
or distress). As nothing is said in the text of such exposition, the
apparent meaning is that Tenorio finished his enterprise within forty
hours after leaving Samboangan--a rendering for which the Spanish
form is an unusual one, but not more so than many other expressions
in Concepción's pages.
[77] This name is said (Retana and Pastells's Combés, col. 739)
to mean "lady who will be queen"--uley being a variant of uraya,
the future of raia or raja ("king" or "queen"). Urancaya (ut supra,
col. 787) is from orang ("man") and kaya ("rich").
[78] Concepción states (Hist. de Philipinas, vii, p. 9) that an
insufficient amount of timber was furnished for a ship then on the
stocks, and Cortaberria urged on the overseers of the woodcutting,
and they in turn their gangs of men, but with so much harshness that
the latter mutinied.
[79] Pedro Camacho came from the Dominican convent at Sevilla, in the
mission of 1648. He ministered to the Indians in and near Manila,
and was director of the school of San Juan de Letran; he finally
returned to Spain in 1659. (Reseña biográfica, p. 466.)
[80] For description of tree-dwellings--made, however, by the natives
of Mindanao--see VOL. XXI, pp. 239-241.
[81] This was Nicolas de Campo.
[82] Spanish, morenos criollos. "There are creoles, or morenos, who
are black negroes, natives of the country; there are many Cafres,
and other negroes from Angola, Congo, and Africa" (Murillo Velarde,
Hist. de Philipinas, fol. 5).
