o state definitely the points where the
province of Tui begins and ends, in every direction, that a specific
declaration may be made of the boundaries; and in case that anyone
should have been entered on the list without any warrant, or with a
greater number of natives than had been assigned to him, or should
he not have pacified or instructed the greater number of the natives
that belong to him by his title, a statement of what he ought to do
shall be made.

In respect to the first the province of Tuy commences, as the
documents state, and as Gomez Perez Dasmarinas declares, as one goes
from La Pampanga to the said province from the end of the Canbales
to the beginning of the Tui River; thence following its course to the
villages of Datan, Lamot, and Duli to the end of the province of Tui,
and the commencement of that of Cagayan; and, cutting this line, by
a cross-line from the end of the province of Pangasinan to the sea,
on the coast opposite Manila.

of natives assigned to them; and in such case they may remain in the
province of Tuy and be distributed according to the conditions and
agreements. In case that any one's concession and title indicate a
greater number of natives than he possesses, he must keep only those
whom he himself has conquered, pacified, and had instructed, and no
more; for it is not right that he enjoy those who were hostile when
the concession was given him, those conquered or instructed here
later, if others have shed their blood in the conquest of these,
and they have been won at his Majesty's expense.

4. _Item_: We believe that the condition stated in the first clause of
the first [agreement] can be emended, granting that authority is to be
given to Doctor de la Vega to be able to appoint the alcaldes-mayor
of the provinces of Cagayan, Ylocos, and Pangasinan, and take their
residencias. This gave opportunity to the governor to complain that,
inasmuch as none of this pertained to Doctor de la Vega, a part of his
[the governor's] office was being taken from him. This was necessary
for the proper accomplishment of his Majesty's service; but in order
not to give any occasion for ill-feeling in the other affairs that
