[111] Juan de Leiva y de la Cerda, marqués de Leiva y de la Labrada, Conde de Baños (or, as he is also called, Juan de la Cueva Leiva y Labrada) was the twenty-third viceroy of New Spain. He committed various arbitrary acts, and otherwise proved his unfitness for his position. His rule lasted, from September 16, 1660 (although he arrived at Vera Cruz in July) to June 1664, when he was superseded by Archbishop Osorio. See Bancroft's History of Mexico, iii, pp. 164-167.
[112] The body guard of the Spanish monarch was formerly of Walloons and was known as the Walloon guard.
[113] José Paternina, a native of Bastida in the province of Álava, professed in the convent of Badaya. In the Philippines he became prior of the convents of San Pablo of Manila and of Guadalupe (1668). He served as commissary of the Holy Office for some years, but was removed from that post because the tribunal of Mexico censured his conduct toward Governor Diego Salcedo (see account of his proceedings against Salcedo ante, pp. 23-25). His death occurred in 1674, while en route to Nueva España. See Pérez's Catálogo, p. 126. See also VOL. XXVIII, p. 112.
[114] Before the foundation of the college of Valladolid, the father-commissaries of the Filipinas admitted youths to the religious habit, and placed them in the novitiates of España, until they made their profession, which was received by the above-mentioned father-commissaries.--Tirso Lopez, O.S.A.

[117] In the Archivo general de Indias at Sevilla are two manuscript plans (one of Manila and the other of Cavite) which were made about 1762 by a man of this name, evidently a descendant of the man mentioned here.
[118] These are certain villages in the mountains of Burgos, adjacent to the domain of Vizcaya--the privileges granted to which are enjoyed by these villages, in virtue of letters and concessions from the kings. (Dominguez's Diccionario nacional.)

[120] A long and unsigned document in the Ventura del Arco MSS. (Ayer library) ii, pp. 493-618, gives minute details of these events in 1668, and explains thus the controversy between the auditors: Salcedo's galleon landed on the Cagayán coast, and it became necessary for him and his retinue and soldiers to make the overland trip to Manila, carrying thither the money and treasure that he had brought. The trip was long, wearisome, and dangerous; Mansilla pushed ahead by other routes to reach Manila first, and had his priority officially recorded at once. Moreover, Mansilla bought up warrants for arrearages of pay due the soldiers, and turned in these for his media anata (see VOL. XXIV, p. 307) to the royal treasury; "and with less than 300 pesos he made good his entire media anata, each third of which [alluding to the payment of the year's salary in three instalments] amounted to 909 pesos 7 tomins." But the governor learning of this, obliged him to make good the sum due, in cash. A suit for the priority claimed arose between the auditors, which was decided in favor of Coloma.
