We have notice of other islands, although we have not seen them, and they remain yet to be allotted.  Thus in the province of Cagayan and the islands of Babuyanes, there are twenty-four thousand whole tributes, or about ninety-six thousand souls.  Notwithstanding that most of it is in rebellion, a great part of it is being reduced to the royal crown.  In all the province there is not a single minister of instruction, and it will need thirty-eight religious, when it is wholly pacified.  As to the administration of justice, in the part now pacified or being pacified, the encomienda and government of Nueva Segovia has it in charge.  When all is pacified, more alcaldes-mayor will be needed, and will be provided.
