The gooJ Government of Vaca de Caíl:ro ; the peace máÍ · 'qzúetnefs of Perll ; · the caufe and original of other Troubles. ·non 'I)iego 4/magro Junior, being dead, and all the Compiices and Heads of -- that party being either pur to death, or b¡¡nitbed, the whole Empire of Pe- . ru began tp enjoy peace and fe~dement, the name and imereíl: of that Almagrian Faétión being torally extinguifhed. Judge Vaca de Cqftro be.ing a prudent, anda difQ\"eet perfon in ali bis aétions, governed with mucb Equicy and Juíl:ice, to ~he gr~ac fatisfaél:ion and contentmem both of Spaniard1 and l 11dians, having eíl:abliíJii- ed feveral Laws fo advamageous to the Welfa,re of both Natio111s, that the Incli- a111 themfelves rejoyced in fuch happy con(Hturions, and eíl:eemed them equal to thofe-which had b€en made by their IncM. Likewife the Governour beíl:owed fuch 'Plantations of Índians, whicb were void and forfeited for Rebellion, on per- fons who had well deferved for their Services to bis Majeíl:y in the fare War :· lle alfo encreafed the Poífefiions of others, or excha,nged rhem for chofe which were better in other places, or Cities; where they were moil: pleafecl to chufe (hejr habitation. Ae that time many of the Jnhabitants of Charw tranfplamed rhernfelves and Families to Co:{.co, amongíl: whom my Lord Garyilajfo de la Yega · was one, who (as we have faid formerly ) had lefc the Province Tt1pac·ri to fettle hirnfelf in the Province ~echua, which belongs to the Nation Cot;1ner11, and liHamampal!Pi!f. And though the Govemour in the Divifions he made proceeded with ali.thé equalicy and caution imaginable, as was apparent to ali die World, yet many were difcontented for want of having Lands, and Plamations of Indians allotted to them, which thev believed and prefumed to be due for all cheir Servi- . ces and Labours chey had fuíl:ained in the Conqueíl: of Peru. Amongíl: thefe dif- comemed perfons there was a certain Gentleman called Hernando Mog9flon, born a{ :/?adajo:{., of whom we have made memion in the third C:::hapter of the firíl: Book of our Hiíl:ory of Florida. This Gentleman prefurning that he had well defervecl and performed grea~ Services in the Conqueíl: of chefe new Coumries, and par- ticularly ac che Batee! of ChupM, where he fignalized his pravery in an extraordi- nary manner, of which Vaca de Caftro himfelf was a Witnefs; for which finding he had no reward, or Lands, or Indian Servants divided to him, he wem and ap- .plied himfelf to the Governour, and told him plainly : Sir, In thio Coµ11t rey, Myour Lordjhip wefl kfiows, all People eat from the LaboHrs of Mogollon, and he alone ftarves with hunger. And in regard that he wM one of thofe who difcovered Florida, and wM forward and aétive in other important Conquefts which have heen acquired to the Crown of Spain ; and laftly, WM pre{ent in the Battel of Chupas, where he fought under your Lordjhip's Standard; it is but rea/on that fome remembrance Jhfflld be h~d of him, wh~ h11th not forgotten hu Duty anrJ.

The Governour confidering well the Merits of the Man, and thar he asked notb~ng but whac was very reafonable, he beflowed upon him a finall tbare of Lands, inhabited by Indiam. And as an expedient tó quiet the minds of ocher complaining and indigent Souldiers, of which· many wern unrewarded ; and to · prevent a fanher Mminy, he irnitated che example of Marquis Pi farro, who on the like occafion difpeeded feveral Companies wifü their Capcains, to ~onquer and poífefs divers otber pares of the Coumrey; b'y which means enlargíng their Ter· ritories, every Man might obtain fome Inherirance and Dominion over the lndi..: am. .
