[At the first outbreak of the insurrection, Encan is sent to reassure and quiet the Sangleys.  He returns very late “telling Don Pedro that he had been in danger of being elected their chief, and that they wished to force him to accept it.”  In the slaughter of Don Luis Dasmarinas and his men which soon follows, over thirty Spaniards manage to escape.  The Japanese aid the Spaniards, while the Sangleys try to induce all their countrymen of the Parian to join them.]

The few Sangleys in the Parian caused the Spaniards no less anxiety than the many in the fort, both because they had them for so near neighbors and as they supposed that if these saw our cause declining, they would join their countrymen.  Besides, it was known that the insurgents had sent to ask those in the Parian to join them, and had advised them of the Spaniards whom they had killed.  This was declared by a Sangley, who was caught while crossing the river by swimming, by the sentinel of the river-boats.  He, confessing, when put to the torture, that he was a spy, and that he gave and carried messages, was beheaded.  On the other side, it was considered that although it would lessen the anxiety to kill all the Sangleys or to attempt it, it did not appear a just punishment toward people of whose crime they were uncertain—­much more so, since they had come to Filipinas to conduct their trading in good faith, and the governor had given them his word for their safety if they were quiet and did not mix in the rebellion....

[It is finally resolved to induce the peaceful Sangleys to take refuge in the Augustinian convent.  However, they refuse to take advantage of the offer, although some put their goods in safety.  Meanwhile the hostile Sangleys attempt to incite them to join their ranks, and on their refusal, turn upon them “and kill more than two hundred.”  Encan is found concealed in a house for fear of capture, whereupon he confesses his part in the rebellion.  The religious take up arms against the insurgents, notable among them being Fray Antonio Flores, an Augustinian lay-brother, and formerly a soldier:  he is credited with having slain six hundred Sangleys in the final slaughter.  The Chinese, after driving in an attacking party of five hundred men under Gallinato, assault the walls of the city, but are finally driven back with great slaughter.  Their Parian is burned, and they begin their retreat, going to San Pablo and other districts, pursued by the Spaniards and natives, who kill immense crowds of them and disperse the rest.  Spaniards, Japanese, and Pampangos are sent out under Sargento-mayor Azcueta, and the insurrection is crushed with terrible slaughter; “for the Japanese and natives are so ferocious that nothing can restrain them.”  The final result of the last campaign shows that only “slightly more than one hundred [of the Sangleys] survived, who were kept alive for the galleys.  Eight natives and six Japanese died on our side in these two battles [i.e., the slaughters of the
