in the tenth Chapter of
his

Book, who give
a
re–
lation thereof, almofi in the fame words.
When the Vice-king
was
firfr received in the City of
Los
Reyes,
Pedro
de Pueb·
/es,
a
Native of
Seville
came
to
kifs his hands, being at that time Deputy Gover..
nour for
Vaca
de Caftro'in
the Town of
Guanuco:
And having lived long
in
the br–dies,
he was highly efi:eemed by the Vice-king for his great 'experience ;
Co
.that.hegave him a new Commiffion to be Deputy Governq,ur of
Guanuco,
en
1oyrunghim to get
the
People of
cha~
City
i?
a readinefs
!
that
~n
ca[e necefficy fhould re–
quire, they might at an hours warruog appear with therr Horfe and Arms.
Pedro
de
P11el/e1
obeyed the Commands of the Vice-king ; and not onely put
his
own
Ci·
tizens into a pofiure to march, at the firfr Summons; but
alfo
retained feveral
ocher Souldiers, who came from the Province of
Chapapoya.r
in company
with
Gomes de
Sclu
and
Bonifa~
,
to
attend the Commands of the Vice-king , for their
march:
and accordingly upon his Orders difpatched
by
f&ronimo
de
YillegM,
a Na•
rive of
Burg
of.
Pedro
de
Puelle.r
immediately marched
away
with intention to
join
With
him.
But being come as far
as
G11anuco
they
began
to lay their heads together
and
confider of the illue and event of affairs,
in
cafe they {hould fubdue and over–
throw
Gonf.alo
Pip:irro
and
his
party
~
and having concluded mofl: certainly, that
in
that care, the Vice.king would make ufe of his Vietory, to put
in
execution the
new
Laws
without control!, to the great damage and ruine of the People; and
that no man, as well Souldiers as others {hould be able to enjoy the fervice and
va!falage of their
Indians,
which would difennable many from paying the taxes
for maintenance of che Army: they all unanimoufly refolved to revolt unto
Gon–
falo
Pifarro's
party; and
fo
marched another way
co
join with him in fuch place
where
it
fhould
be
their fortune to meet him.
The Vice-king, having fpeedy intelligence thereof by
an
Jndittn
Captain
called
Yllaropa,
greatly refented the ill-fuccefs ; but howfoever, taking courage, he imme–
diately difpeeded
hi
brother
Pela
Nunne~
with aDetachment of fourty light Horfe
and
thirty
ArquebuGers, under the command ofCaptain
Gony-Rlo
DiM,
which
for
betrer expedition were mounted upon
fo
many Mules, which cofi twelve thou–
fand Ducats taken out of the King's treafury; and
co
them were added ten other
ouldiers,
\:
ho were the kindred, friends and relations of
Vela Nunne:t,
Co
that the
number of the Foot \.Vere m1de equal
to
the Horfe, and
had
Orders
to
intercept
P~dro
de
P_1te!le1
in his m.arch,
a~d
to get. before him, and difpute the
firfr
pa[s
with
h1m.
Being thus provided wuh all things nece!fary, and being on their march
as
far as
GH1tdachile
(
which is about twenty Leagues from the City ; )
it
is'
faid
that
they
