[39] Among other doc.u.ments, which throw a most unfavorable light upon the condition of the Filipinos under the encomiendas, is the letter to the king from Domingo de Salazar, the first bishop of the Philippines, which describes the conditions about 1583.

[69] How attractive the island appeared and how well they knew its peoples is revealed by the accurate descriptions in the first book of Combes' Historia de Mindanao y Jolo.

[71] This important victory was commemorated in a number of writings, some of which have been reprinted by Retana. See Sucesos Felices, que por Mar y Tierra ha dado N. S. a las armas Espanolas, 1637. Another is published in the Appendix to Barrantes', Historia de Guerras Piraticas. The subject is also fully treated by Combes.

[72] The king did not confer the t.i.tle of "Royal" until 1735, although the University was taken under his protection in 1680.

[74] The Jesuits, on retiring with the Spanish forces from the Moluccas, brought from Ternate a colony of their converts. These people were settled at Marigondon, on the south sh.o.r.e of Manila Bay, where their descendants can still be distinguished from the surrounding Tagalog population.

[75] See the account of the "Settlement of the Ladrones by the Spaniards," in Burney's Voyages in the Pacific, vol. III.

[76] Some of the benefits of such a trade are set forth by the Jesuit, Alonzo de Ovalle, in his Historical Relation of the Kingdom of Chili, printed in Rome, 1649. In Churchill's Collection of Voyages and Travels, vol. III.
