it seems to us that it will be enough to make them
slaves for a limited time, ten or fifteen years.

Sixth: The war ended, his Lordship the governor may exact from the
Zambales all the costs of the war, and indemnification for all the
losses suffered; and he may, by way of chastisement, levy from them
some tribute: for all this is _jus belli_ in the case of a just war,
such as is this, as stands proved.

Seventh: Since it is not enough to punish past crime unless a remedy
is applied for the future; and since a wide experience has shown that
little confidence is to be reposed in the word and the character of
this people; and since to leave them in their mountains would be to
give them occasion and good opportunity for doing mischief and damage
hereafter, as always in the past: it seems to us that inasmuch as
these Zambales are few and have not in their villages or in their
territory any cultivated fields or any fixed settlements, it will be
advisable, as security against their returning to their old ways,
to transplant them from the mountain region to peopled districts,
depriving them of arms, and giving them a village site and lands upon
which, with police control and under a government, they may live and
cultivate their farms. This we deem the ultimate remedy, and as being
necessary for the ends of peace and security at which we aim.

Finally: It seems to us from the experience we have had in this
matter, and from what we have seen, that the expeditions sent against
these Zambales have been ineffective because this method was not
employed. The plan should be carried out chiefly by means of the
Indians of Pampanga and the Zambales of Pangasinan--people who know
the country and its hiding-places and coverts; and who, as being more
agile than Spaniards, bear more easily the toils of the march over the
routes that have to be traversed, owing to the wildness of the region,
which, as is well known, is very great. In payment of the costs to
these Indians, the slaves captured in the war might be apportioned to
them; and in virtue of this compact they will not commit the cruelties
and murders to be apprehended from them. Besides, this will benefit
the state; for, having more field-hands, they will plow and cultivate
more land. Further, as regards the Panpangos, they will in this way
obtain satisfaction for the many and serious wrongs that they have
suffered from the Zambales in the way of both murders and robberies.

Such,
