The chief gunners of the artillery--in this city of
Manila, he of the fort of Santiago in this city,
and those of Cavite, the island of Hermosa, and
Terrenate--each received three hundred pesos per
year. Now each one receives two hundred and fifty
pesos, thus saving two hundred and fifty pesos on
all five 250 p. 0 0

The apothecary of the royal hospital of Manila received
two hundred pesos per year, and his ration. That
was reduced only by four reals per day, and a total
worth one hundred and eighty-two and one-half pesos

There are generally six galleys in the city of
Manila, the port of Cavite, the island of Hermosa,
and Terrenate--each galley with its captain, those of
Manila, Cavite, and the island of Hermosa, receiving
three hundred and fifty pesos, and their necessary
ration; and the other two of Terrenate, five hundred
and sixty-seven and one-half pesos per year, with the
said ration. It amounted in all to two thousand six
hundred and fifty-five pesos per year. Those posts
have been entirely abolished, because the masters of
the said galleys are to serve in them

Each of the said six galleys had its own master,
with a salary of two hundred and fifty pesos per
year and fifty pesos for a ration, a total of three
hundred pesos. Now they receive the two hundred and
fifty pesos, but no ration if anchored; while if
they are afloat the ration that they received per
year is diminished by half for all of them, as it
is not certainly known when they are to navigate, or
when they will leave or enter from port to port. Thus
there is a saving here of one hundred and fifty pesos,
which is the half of three hundred

The said six galleys had six boatswains, who received
two hundred pesos apiece per year, besides fifty
pesos for two rations. Now they receive two hundred
pesos--without the ration when anchored; while, if
afloat, the ordinary ration. Three hundred pesos are
saved, and by the difference for the time when they
are afloat, the half of that sum is saved, namely,
one hundred and fifty pesos 150 p. 0 0
