1. The padre Fray Francisco Montesinos, having advised the people of the port of Burburata as to Aguirre's doings, they likewise sent on the news to the towns in the government of Venezuela, particularly to the governor, the licenciate Pablo Collado, who was just then in the city of Tocuyo, and who sent orders to the men of Burburata to send their wives and children away, as well as their property, in case Aguirre should come there. This order was hardly necessary for the men of Burburata, seeing that they were dwelling on the sea-shore, and were few in number, without means of defence, for they had, already, broken up their homes, and put their families in safety, as soon as they received the news from the provincial, the men returning to the port of Burburata. The governor sent advices to the city of Trujillo, recently settled by Captain Diego Garcia de Paredes, to that of Merida, also a recently settled jurisdiction, governed by Captain Pedro Bravo de la Molina, a man of noble blood, and who gave proofs of the same in all the acts of his life, but more especially in what concerned Aguirre.
