Excerpt from The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, Vol. 14: Explorations by Early Navigators, Descriptions of the Islands and Their Peoples, Their History and Records of the Catholic Missions; 1605-1609 Moro pirates are apparently disposed to make peace, so Acuna is discussing this with them; but he has little confidence in their promises, except as he can inspire them with fear. The difficulties arising from the slaughter of the Chinese in their revolt of 1603 have been a source of much anxiety to the Spaniards; but these are in a fair way to be settled. The fiscal, Salazar y Salcedo, has died; and the Audi encia has appointed temporarily to that post Rodrigo Diaz Guiral, whom Acufia highly commends. The governor complains that the archbishop has been meddling with his appointments of chaplains for the galleys. He also asks for money to maintain galleys for the defense of the islands. In a third letter Acuna complains of the unjust and tyrannical con duct of the auditor Maldonado, and asks for redress from the king. This evil conduct has been espe cially noticeable in Maldonado's efforts to secure the hand and property of a wealthy minor heiress.
