ears 1649-1652. Section
vi of this chapter treats of the Recollect convent of San Juan
de Bagumbaya (for whose early history given in summary here,
see VOL. XXI). In 1642, the governor Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera
ordered all the buildings in the village of Bagumbaya to be torn down
for fear of the Dutch, among them the convent. Despite the endeavor
of the religious to save their convent, it was demolished and a new
fort begun there. The order had refused the 4,000 pesos offered them
by the governor, saying that their possessions were worth more than
50,000. This action of the governor was made part of the charges in
the residencia, and he was condemned to pay the order 25,000 pesos,
and the ground-plots were restored to them. Thereupon the fort was
demolished, and a new convent and church erected. Section vii details
the placing of the holy image of the Christ of Humility and Patience
(Santo Cristo de Humildad y Paciencia) in the Recollect convent at
Manila in the year 1652.]

[Chapter v contains treatises on the lives of the following Recollect
missionaries in the Philippines. Diego de Santa Ana was a native of
Zaragoza (his secular name being Ribas), and was born in 1599. He
professed in the convent of that city, July 26, 1616. Volunteering for
the Philippine missions in 1620, he arrived at Manila in 1622. That
same year he was sent to the islands of Calamianes, in company with
Francisco de San Nicolas, where he labored amid great difficulties for
the conversion of the rude people inhabiting those islands. In 1626
he was sent to the village of Caviscail in Paragua, where he labored
for a year; then he was appointed prior of the convent of Linacapan,
the most dangerous mission of the Calamianes, which was infested by
the hostile Moros. He was in the district of Butuan in 1629 when the
insurrection of Caraga broke out, where he was in considerable danger
of losing his life. He remained in Caraga for several years after the
insurrection was put down; but asked leave to return to the Calamianes
missions. In 1652 he suffered extreme hardships while hiding in the
mountains from the Joloans, who had made one of their numerous raids
in the village of Dinay in the island of Paragua. Some assert that
he died in the Manila hospital, while others say that he met his
death in the mountains about Dinay. Lorenzo de San Facundo was born
in Calaceyte in Aragon (his family name being Valls) and professed
in the convent of Zaragoza,
