e letter following this says that the visitor and Audiencia
reached Manila in 1687; Montero y Vidal says 1688; and Diaz's editor,
1689. It seems more probable that 1688 is the correct date, from
various allusions made in these letters and by Diaz.

[165] Referring to the dispute between the two universities of San
Jose and Santo Tomas; and the placing, by the latter, of the royal
arms over its entrance.

[166] That is, October 19. This saint was Pedro Garavito, born at
Alcantara in 1499; at the age of fifteen he entered the Franciscan
order, and was ordained in 1524. In 1554 he instituted a reform,
exceedingly austere and rigorous, in his order, and erected the
first convent for these discalced Franciscans at Pedroso. Other
houses adopted this rule, and in 1562 these reformed convents were
freed by papal orders from the jurisdiction of the general of the
Franciscan order. Garavito died on October 18 of that same year;
he was canonized in 1669 as St. Peter of Alcantara. (Baring-Gould's
Lives of the Saints, xii, pp. 487-494.)

[167] Spanish buen; but obviously used with satirical meaning.

[168] When Bolivar was arrested, he was sent to "a small fortified post
in the province of Cagayan, called Tuao, where he remained until the
investigating judge who came to Manila in 1688 ordered him to return
[to that city], but he died on the way" (Diaz, p. 788).

[169] Andaye, a fortified town at the mouth of the Bidassoa River,
which forms part of the boundary between Spain and France and empties
into the Bay of Biscay. Andaye is directly opposite Fontarabia
in Spain.

[170] These jars are still highly valued by the Malays; see Furness's
mention of this, with photographic illustration, in his Borneo
Head-Hunters, pp. 125, 126.
