ould be enough in Zamboangan if
the great extent which must be guarded, on account of the size of
the fort, were reduced to a little, demolishing the less important
part [of the fortifications]. But their profound thoughts feared
lest that fort would afterward remain thus scantily garrisoned,
and that it would not make so much show or its administration be so
conspicuous; nor would there be expended in the allowances [for it]
so large sums, which they converted to their own advantage.... Soon
there were representations made at the court of injury resulting from
its desertion, and consequent royal decrees for its reconstruction,
which did not take effect until long afterward." (Concepcion, Hist. de
Philipinas, vii, pp. 93-97.)

[98] This name is Curay in Concepcion's Historia.

[99] An island and point at the entrance to Patungan Bay, in Batangas,
Luzon.

[100] It is evident, from the above statements by Diaz, that Barrantes
is incorrect in saying (Guerras piraticas, p. 17): "In this manner,
so melancholy for Filipinas, ended the seventeenth century." He has
made this hasty and unfounded conclusion through failure to search
for material to supply the gap which occurs at this point in the
narrative which he has used as the basis of the work above cited. This
is a MS. narrative of the Moro wars, for an account of which see our
Vol. XXIX, p. 174, note 40.
