Master-of-camp Juan de Esquivel
took twelve companies of Spanish infantry, of which four were levied
in Andaluzia--namely, his own, that of Captain Pablo Garrucho, that of
Pedro Sevil, that of Lucas de Vergara Gaviria; and six in Nueva Espana,
namely, that of Don Rodrigo de Mendoca (this gentleman is the son of
Don Juan de Baeca y Castilla and of Dona Maria de Mendoca, and on the
latter side grandson to the marques de Montesclaros; and left Italia
to serve his Majesty in Filipinas, at the request of the viceroy of
Nueva Espana, his kinsman), the company of Captain Pascual de Alarcon
Pacheco, that of Martin de Esquivel, that of Bernardino Alfonso,
that of Pedro Delgado, and that of Estevan de Alcacar. The other two,
under Captains Juan Guerra de Cervantes and Christoval de Villagra,
were from the camp of Manila and the province of Pintados. All of
these with their officers amounted to one thousand four hundred
and twenty-three Spaniards. Under Master-of-camp Don Guillermo
and Captains Don Francisco Palaot, Don Juan Lit, Don Luys, and Don
Agustin Lont were three hundred and forty-four Pampanga and Tagal
Indians; while there were also six hundred and twenty men from the
same tribes for the naval and military service, and six hundred and
forty-nine rowers.
