_Relation and treatise of Captain Toribio de Miranda's deeds in the
exploration and pacification of the said province of Tuy, in the
year 1594._

_Year 1594. Don Luis Dasmarinas._ By commission of Don Luis Perez
Dasmarinas, who became governor of the Filipinas upon the death of
his father, Gomez Perez, Captain Toribio de Miranda was sent in the
year 594 with eighty Spanish soldiers, four Franciscan religious, and
the necessary Indian bearers, to pacify and complete the exploration
of the province of Tuy. He reached the valley of Dumagui, which the
religious called Todos Santos ["All Saints"], near the village of
Guilaylay, which lies in front of Tuy, on the second of November. A
chief went to meet him, whom Captain Miranda received courteously,

and three chickens. They were quite satisfied.

_Bantal; Buguey._ The chiefs went to meet him, among them one
Ybarat. The captain gave them some presents, whereat they were
satisfied, and Ybarat promised him rice, but did not keep his word. The
captain built a fort, which he called San Jhoseph, and suspecting that
Ybarat was planning some treachery, seized him several days later, when
he came with a sucking pig and four jars of rice. On this occasion the
captain heard that the chiefs were waiting in the village of Buyguey
in order to kill the Spaniards. Chief Ybarat was so insolent that he
could not be induced to bring provisions either by requests or threats;
and, as our men lacked food, it was determined
