are
under two encomenderos--each with one thousand; and two thousand
belong to his Majesty.

_Province of Ylagua._ Two leagues farther is the province of Ylagua,
which belongs to his Majesty. It has a population of about five
thousand, but they are not all peaceful.

_Valley of Dynglas._ Three leagues inland from this province is a
valley called Dinglas. It has a population of about two thousand
Indians, and one encomendero.

_Valley of Vicagua._ Farther along the coast from Ylagua is
the valley of Vicagua, with a population of two thousand, and
two encomiendas. This valley is twenty leagues from the Cagayan
River. There are to be found some rivers and settlements, but the
inhabitants are not pacified or even known.

All the people of the Ylocos resemble the Pintados in their manner of
living, but they eat raw meat. They are a quiet and peaceful people,
dislike war, and are humble and well-disposed.

Thus, from the city of Manilla to the Cagayan River hither, the
distance is about one hundred and ten leagues, as stated above. On
account of the shortness of the time before me, I am unable to give
a more detailed account of this island of Lucon, which is the most
important in this land.

_Island of Mindoro._ Opposite the encomiendas of Bonbon and Batangas
lies the island of Mindoro. The Moros form the greater part of its
population. Three leagues from the island of Lucon is located the
village of Mindoro. This is a good harbor for ships, and belongs to
his Majesty. The village is inhabited by about two hundred and fifty
Moros. The island is eighty leagues in circumference, and is scantily
populated, for it has in all less than five hundred inhabitants. Some
blacks live in the mountains, who gather a large quantity of wax. The
island is ill supplied with provisions.

_Island of Luban_. Four leagues from the western point of this island,
and opposite the bay of Manilla, lies the island of Luban. It is
twenty leagues from Manilla, and has a circumference of about ten
leagues. It has six villages, with a total population of about five
hundred Indians.

Close to this island is a smaller one by the same name, with about
one hundred inhabitants. The people are the same as those of Luzon.

_Island of Elin_. The island of Elin lies two leagues south from
the island of Mindoro. It is seven leagues in circumference and is
inhabited by about two hundred Visayan Indians.

_Alcalde-mayor of Vindoro_. These islands--namely
