im to Manila. Don
Luis Dasmarinas had him feasted and delivered him to Don Dionizio
Capolo. After some days Don Luis visited Ybarat and those who
accompanied him, and then sent him back, well satisfied, to his own
country, in charge of the same Don Dionisio.

The captain again made a trip, to look for some mines that were
reported to be situated among those mountains, and a golden goat [53]
which people said that a chief had abandoned. It was all found to
be false. The captain requested permission from Don Luis to return,
as he was sick, although the friars had first made the same request,
notwithstanding that they had promised great perseverance at first.

In his place, Don Luis sent Captain Clavijo with orders to go on
farther in order to discover the mines of the Ygolotes. Although
that captain left the province of Tuy in search of the Ygolotes,
he turned back on the way, because he was assaulted by more than one
thousand Indians. The latter wounded his guide, Don Dionizio Capolo,
very severely in the face; and it is reported that the captain was
forced to return because he had no one to guide him. After his arrival
at the fort, it was determined that the entire camp should return to
Manila, as they had no provisions and the soldiers were sick, without
making any further efforts for the discovery of the Tuy Ygolotes.

In the year 607, when the Audiencia was governing, two chiefs of that
province [Tuy] came to the house of Don Dionisio. This man had been in
all the above expeditions, where he had served with great fidelity. He
took the two chiefs to the Audiencia and said that those chiefs were
coming to render homage to his Majesty, and wished to pay tribute,
and would make others come. This was regarded lightly, for the most
part, although the Audiencia took care to make much of them and to
feast them, in order to get news of their land from them. Finally
permission was granted to Don Dionisio to return with the chiefs to
their land, in order that they might bring in more Indians who might
wish to come. He accomplished this so well, that he brought seventeen
chiefs, whom he took to the Audiencia. These were received with the
same coldness as the two chiefs, and no more was given them, nor any
interest in them displayed. And inasmuch as a citizen encomendero
came with the report that those chiefs were peaceful and belonged to
his encomienda--which was a notorious falsehood, as they lived more
than forty leguas fro
