Finally, the Dominican friars have entire sway over the archbishops,
and are talking of finding out who are the authors of the papers
that were published against them. (Ventura del Arco MSS., iii,
pp. 639, 640.)

[144] Diaz says (p. 787) that the governor himself, concealed in a
window of his palace, watched Viga's house, and saw Bolivar's servant
enter it; this man was arrested on leaving the house, and searched,
a letter from Viga to Bolivar being found in his shoe. Thereupon the

of the above meaning. Evidently these masses were made the vehicle
for heathen allusions or symbols, if not for actual rites.

[149] This was the treasurer (and afterward cantor) of the cathedral,
Jeronimo de Herrera y Figueroa.

[150] This was the Dominican friar Francisco Villalba.

[151] Pardo was sent to Lingayen, "certainly not to give him the
consolation of residing among his brethren of the order, but to
keep him under the authority of the notorious Don Francisco Pizarro,
bishop of Vigan [i.e., of Nueva Segovia], with whom he had just had
