[68] Banjarmasin is a principality and river on the southern side of Borneo, the word meaning in Javanese "salt or saline garden." The sovereignty of Banjarmasin is said in olden times to have extended over all of southeastern Borneo. See Crawfurd's Dictionary (pp. 36, 37), where an historical sketch of the principality is given. [69] The Chinese emperor at this time was Choo Yuen Chang, the founder of the Ming dynasty, who defeated Chunti, the last of the Mongol dynasty, in 1367, and ruled from then until the year 1398. He adopted as emperor the name of Hongwon. The statements in the text may be only common report. See Boulger's Short History of China, pp. 79-87. [70] See Montero y Vidal's account of Joloan affairs during this period, in his Historia, i, pp. 475-548, 561-581, ii, pp. 6-77, 575, 576. [71] Manila was captured by the English October 6 (or, October 5, according to Spanish reckoning), 1762 (not 1763). See A plain Narrative (London, 1565?), p. 4. [72] This name is derived from the large bay that makes in on the south side of the island of Mindanao, and on which a set of free-booters reside.--Wilkes. This is the bay of Illana. Illano or Illanum means "people of the lake." At present they inhabit the south coast of Mindanao from Punta [de] Flechas to Polloc. They are but few in number, but in the past have been bold pirates. They are probably closely connected with the Malanao or Moros dwelling in the valley of Lake Lanao. See Census of Philippines, i, pp. 466, 472.
