_Juan Juarez Gallinato Pedro Navarro_

Before me:

_Rafael de Sarria_, notary

_Official act_. In the port of Biara, which is on the mainland of
Dapitan and Mindanao, on the thirty-first day of the month of May in
the year one thousand six hundred and two. The purveyor-general, Juan
Juarez Gallinato. Whereas Captain Benito Gomez Descobara y Esquivel
captured on a little island (or rather on the sea-coast) an Indian,
a native of Sanbuangan, who is supposed to be a spy; I command, in
order to learn if he is one, and to ascertain about the enemy's fleet,
that his confession be taken; and thus I order it and sign my name.

of Sumanpie, chief of the said village of Linpapa, and that he was
about twenty years old. This was his answer.

He was asked what ships had gathered and from what nations, and
also where they were and for what purpose. He said that from Maluco
there had come fifty vessels--Terrenatans, Sangils, and Togolandans
[56]--which were brought by Buisan, who is master-of-camp to the one
whom they call Captain Lant. The rest which are going from Mindanao
consisted of forty large caracoas and twenty carangailes and bireyes,
with one caracoa and two bireyes from Sanbuangan and Tagima. All these
had agreed that, if the Spaniards were in Jolo, they should fall upon
them; and that, if they were not there, they should go to plunder in
Pintados, Cebu and Oton. This was his answer.

He was asked where it was said that they were to go. He said that
