Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the "Additional instructions regarding the
banishment of the Jesuits from the dominions of his Majesty, for
what belongs to the Indias and the Filipinas Islands," to which
the preceding document refers, say: "(1) In order that the viceroys,
presidents, and governors of my domains in the Indias and the Filipinas
Islands may know that they have, in virtue of the royal decision,
for this purpose, the same powers that reside in me, I entrust to them
those which are mentioned in the instructions for España, so that they
may issue the orders designating the depositaries [for papers, goods,
etc., belonging to the persons expelled], and the ports [of departure
for them], and promptly make ready the necessary vessels for the
transportation of the Jesuits to Europa and the port of Santa María,
where they will be received and equipped for their destination. (2)
As the authority of those officials will be ample, they will remain
responsible for the execution of the decree--for which they may select
a suitable time, and will fix the day on which it may be carried out
in all parts of their territory, issuing the proper orders with the
utmost promptness, in order that no information may reach any of the
[Jesuit] colleges of what is being done at others in this regard."
The preceding documents were accompanied by a list of the colleges,
houses, and residences of the Jesuits, certainly not a very accurate
one. The colleges, residences, and curacies which at that time they
possessed in Filipinas were as follows: In Manila (jurisdiction)--the
colleges of San Ignacio and San José, and that of San Ildefonso at
Santa Cruz; also the following curacies. In the province of Tondo
