[96] For detailed accounts of the events here briefly mentioned, the Moro wars, the imprisonment of Alimudin, the ravages committed in the islands by those pirates, etc., to the end of Ovando's government, see Concepción's Hist. de Philipinas, xii, pp. 230-419, and xiii, pp. 1-250. See also the account of the "Moro raids repulsed by Visayan natives," ante; it is inserted mainly to represent more vividly, in the words of a probable eyewitness, a typical raid by Moro pirates on the peaceable Christian natives. [97] To this name should be added, "Santisteban, Echeveria, y Alvero" (Concepción, xiii, p. 250); he was a knight of the Order of Calatrava. [98] See Concepción, Hist. de Philipinas, xiii, pp. 250-287, for details of these reforms. [99] See Concepción's account of this eruption (xiii, pp. 345-350); it lasted from September to December, 1754 and was accompanied by severe earthquakes, one of which lasted half an hour. [100] Ignacio María de Alava, "Commander-in-chief of the naval forces in Asiatic waters," was a personal friend of Zúñiga, to whom the latter dedicated his Historia. In a preliminary notice to his Estadismo (p. 3 of Retana's ed.) he says that Alava desired to become acquainted with the Philippines from various points of view, and invited the priest to accompany him therein. Alava arrived at Manila on December 25, 1796, and remained in the islands until January 7, 1803; he reorganized the naval forces and the arsenal at Cavite, with much energy and ability, but had various controversies with Governor Aguilar. Afterward he held important posts in the Spanish naval administration, and died on May 26, 1815. See Retana's note concerning him (ut supra, ii, p. *562), and Montero y Vidal's Hist. de Philipinas, ii, pp. 345-359. [101] The exploits of this militant Jesuit are described by Concepción, in Hist. de Philipinas, xiii, pp. 148-168, 178-188, 296-319. [102] The name given her in baptism was Rita Calderón; the marriage occurred on April 27, 1755. See Concepción, xiii, pp. 333, 334.
