Bantal; Bugay; Burat.  That same day, Don Luis summoned other chiefs of the villages of Bantal, Bugay, and Burat, and after the same ceremonies as on other occasions, ordered them, since they were friends and vassals of his Majesty, to bring their wives (whom they had placed in the mountains) to the villages.  Although he so ordered them twice, they declined, saying that they were keeping them in another village in order to amuse them, and give them time to rest from the care of their houses, and that it would be impossible to bring them at this time.  Another chief, named Tuy—­after whom the province was thus named, and who had not taken part in making peace—­as soon as he knew this, reproved the Indians severely for having made peace; and he caused them to break it by hostilities.  Don Luis also heard that a great number of armed Indians were in the mountains.  He attacked the trenches of the fort built by a troop of Indians, who declared with loud boasting that they desired no peace, even if the Spaniards were to go farther to see other villages.  The natives set fire to the village of Tuy itself, which was totally burned, with the houses within the fort—­although all the means possible were exerted, and some soldiers risked their lives—­as the houses were all roofed with nipa and were built of wood, compactly constructed and built, with their streets evenly laid out.

A notable case.  All the village having been burned, together with some houses near a cross, the latter did not catch fire on the front side facing the street, but only at the back.  And although the rattan that fastened the arm of the cross was burned, the arm did not fall, or destroy the shape of the cross.  And while there was not a single stick left unburned in the village, the fire did not leave mark or stain on the front of the cross, but it retained the same color as when set up.  Alonso Vela, notary of the expedition, testified to the truth of this.

Tuy, sixty houses; Bantal, thirty houses; Burat y Buguey, with five hundred houses.  Don Luis afterward arrived at three villages, one of sixty houses, another of thirty, and the third of five hundred.  There were no people there, but he learned of two provinces, one called Danglay and the other Guamangui; and that inhabitants of the above villages had gone to join those of the said provinces, although before that time they had been hostile to them.

The chiefs of Sicat, Barat, Tuy, Bugat, and Bantal begged pardon of Don Luis for the past, promising peace and the payment of the tribute in products of the land.  They took oath according to another custom—­each chief taking a candle in his hand and Don Luis one in his, and saying that so would he, who failed to keep his promise, or who broke his promise in whole or in part, be consumed even as that candle was consumed.  Then they extinguished the candles, saying that just as that candle expired and was consumed, just so would he who broke his promise be slain and perish.  Then the tribute for that year was conceded to them, whereat they were very happy.
