of cloth, garments, beads, and combs: they
accepted the situation, and promised to pay tribute and recognition in
due season. They swore peace after their own manner, which consisted
in Don Luis and another another--a chief, who spoke for all--each
taking an egg, and throwing the eggs to the ground at the same time;
they said together that just as those eggs had been broken, so they
would be broken, should they not fulfil their promises.

_Bantal; Bugay; Burat_. That same day, Don Luis summoned other
chiefs of the villages of Bantal, Bugay, and Burat, and after the same
ceremonies as on other occasions, ordered them, since they were friends
and vassals of his Majesty, to bring their wives (whom they had placed
in the mountains) to the villages. Although he so ordered them twice,
they declined, saying that they were keeping them in another village
in order to amuse them, and give them time to rest from the care of
their houses, and that it would be impossible to bring them at this
time. Another chief, named Tuy--after whom the province was thus named,
and who had not taken part in making peace--as soon as he knew this,
reproved the Indians severely for having made peace; and he caused them
to break it by hostilities. Don Luis also heard that a great number
of armed Indians were in the mountains. He attacked the trenches of
the fort built by a troop of Indians, who declared with loud boasting
that they desired no peace, even if the Spaniards were to go farther to
see other villages. The natives set fire to the village of Tuy itself,
which was totally burned, with the houses within the fort--although
all the means possible were exerted, and some soldiers risked their
lives--as the houses were all roofed with nipa and were built of wood,
compactly constructed and built, with their streets evenly laid out.

_A notable case_. All the village having been burned, together with
some houses near a cross, the latter did not catch fire on the front
side facing the street, but only at the back. And although the rattan
that fastened the arm of the cross was burned, the arm did not fall,
or destroy the shape of the cross. And while there was not a single
stick left unburned in the village, the fire did not leave mark or
stain on the front of the cross, but it retained the same color as
when set up. Alonso Vela, notary of the expedition, testified to the
truth of this.
