a Purchase Exposition, held last year (1904) at St. Louis, the Philippine exhibits contained Malay weapons, in great number and variety--krises, campilans, lances, etc. [25] Francisco Martinez was born near Zaragoza, February 25, 1605, and at the age of seventeen entered the Jesuit order. Joining the Philippine mission, he labored mainly among the Moros, and died at Zamboanga on September 17, 1650. Alejandro Lopez, a native of Aragon, was born in July, 1604, and at the age of nineteen went to Mexico, where he spent several years in commercial pursuits. On August 28, 1631, he entered the Jesuit novitiate at Manila; and, accompanying Corcuera in his campaigns, was long a missionary among the Moros, and at various times an envoy to their chiefs in behalf of the Spanish governors. It was on one of these embassies that Lopez met his death, being killed by the Moros, December 15, 1655. See Combes's _Hist. Mindanao_, which relates in full Lopez's missionary career; and sketch of his life in Murillo Velarde's _Hist. Philipinas_, fol. 94 _verso_, 235, 238-247. Cf. Montero y Vidal's _Hist. Filipinas_, i, pp. 296-298. [26] This letter is unsigned; but the transcript of it made by Ventura del Arco places it with others ascribed to Barrios. See detailed accounts of the expedition against Jolo (Sulu) in Combes's _Hist. Mindanao y Jolo_ (Retana and Pastells ed.), cols. 349-368; Diaz's _Conquistas_, pp. 388-401; Murillo Velarde's _Hist. Philipinas_, fol. 92, 93; and La Concepcion's _Hist. Philipinas_, v, pp. 334-351. [27] See also the instructions given by Felipe II to Francisco de Tello, at Toledo, May 25, 1596, in our VOL. IX, pp. 250, 251. [28] A note to this law in the _Recopilacion_ reads as follows: "This law was extended to all America for the same reason, by a royal decree dated Madrid, March 28, 1769; and the prelates are not allowed to expel members of the orders except for just cause, while those thus expelled are to be sent to Spain." [29] This totals up three hundred and seventy-two, instead of the number given in the text--evidently a printer's error. [30] Corcuera's endowment of these fellowships raised a great storm in the islands, especially among the Dominicans, who claimed that it was aimed at their college of Santo Tomas; while in Spain the king and his council were equally indignant because they had not been previously consulted in the matter, an indignation that was carefully fostered and increase
