[29] “The soldiers, having entered the city, gave themselves universally to violence and pillage.  Don Pedro had issued a proclamation conceding that all of the enemy captured within those four days, should be slaves” (Argensola).  During the sack, which Don Pedro was unable to restrain, neither children nor young girls were spared.  One girl was killed because two soldiers disputed for her.—­Rizal.

[32] The Jesuit Father Luis Fernandez, Gallinato, and Esquivel made negotiations with the king for this exile, and Father Colin attributes its good outcome to the cleverness of the former.  What was then believed to be prudent resulted afterward as an impolitic measure, and bore very fatal consequences; for it aroused the hostility of all the Molucas, even that of their allies, and made the Spanish name as odious as was the Portuguese.  The priest Hernando de los Rios, Bokemeyer, and other historians, moreover, accuse Don Pedro de Acuna of bad faith in this; but, strictly judged, we believe that they do so without foundation.  Don Pedro in his passport assured the lives of the king and prince, but not their liberty.  Doubtless a trifle more generosity would have made the conqueror greater, and the odium of the Spanish name less, while it would have assured Spanish domination of that archipelago.  The unfortunate king never returned to his own country.  Hernando de los Rios says that during Don Pedro de Acuna’s life he was well treated, but that during the administration of Don Juan de Silva “I have seen him in a poor lodging where all the rain fell on him, and they were starving him to death.”  He is described by Argensola as of “robust proportions, and his limbs are well formed.  His neck and much of his breast are bare.  His flesh is of a cloudy color, rather black than gray.  The features of his face are like those of an European.  His eyes are large and full, and he seems to dart sparks from them.  His large eyelashes, his thick bristling beard, and his mustaches add to his fierceness.  He always wears his campilan, dagger, and kris, both with hilts in the form of gilded serpents’ heads.”  This description was taken from a picture sent to Spain.—­Rizal.

[33] Other disturbances occurred also, because of Don Pedro’s enemies having spread the news that the expedition had been destroyed, and most of those making it killed.  “This report, having come to the ears of the Indians, was so harmful that they began to mutiny, especially in the provinces of Camarines and Pintados.  The friars who instructed them could already do, nothing with them, for they asked why, since the inhabitants of the Malucos were victorious, should they be subject to the Spaniards, who did not defend them from the Moros.  They said that the Moros would plunder them daily with the help of Ternate, and that it would be worse henceforth” (Argensola).—­Rizal.
