T

Souldiers being
difperfed, and
Francu Hernandez

imprifoned,
the
Mutiny was fiippreifed and all things quieted: and therefore
it
was much
wondered , what !hould be the reafon that moved
A lofl[o Palomino
and
[eronimo
Coftilla,
who had
married
two Sifters to efcape out of che
City,
the fecond night
after all things were agreed: nor do I know what reafon
Palentino
had to
fay,
that
this happened two
years
afterwards; than which nothing can be more
falfe ;
which
I can aver upon my own knowledge, having been an eye-wicnefs
of
what_palled
at that time in
Co:uo :
but true it is, that rhefe Gentlemen departed the City
at
mid-night, without any caufe or reafon known
for'
the fame.
If
they had gone
away three or four nights before, when the City was
in
extreme danger,
fome
Conjettures might have been made upon the reafons of their departure
r
but go–
ing
thus away without any reafon affigned, the whole
City
talked, and made a
tboufand Conjeetures
thereupon,
efpecially when it was known, that they had
burnt the Bridges of
Apurimac
and
AmancaJ,
which were to be
repaired
at the
expence and labour of the poor
Indians:
upon
which
all the Countrey
was
in a
confufion , and rumours were fpread, that
Francifco Hernande!l:.. Giron
was up in
Arms at
Couo
,
and was become a Rebel. But in the fecond InfurreCtion he
made,
Alonfo Palomino
gave him his reward, by killing him at a Supper, as
we
ihall fee hereafter ; but
{eronimo Coftilla
efcaped, being not prefent at the Invitati–
on. But to
return
again
to
the prefent
ACl:s
of
Giron:
we fay, that his Souldiers
being difperfed , and the chief Incendiaries punHhed, the Agreement was perfor–
med and executed ; and
Giron
was releafed upon his Paroll and foleoi Oath given
to goe ro the City of
Los R eyes,
and there to prefent himfelf before the Royal
Court of
J
ufiice ,
and give them an account of the lace
Aetions.
