Juan Bautista de Cubiaga, auditor of accounts and results of the
royal estate of these Philipinas Islands, shall certify at the end
of this decree the salaries and wages, and the rations, that have
been paid from the royal treasury and magazines to the persons who
have served in any naval or military post, or in any other capacity,
both in this city of Manila and outside of it, and in its presidios,
in former times and until June twenty-five, one thousand six hundred
and thirty-five, when I assumed the government of the islands. He
shall also make a copy, signed with his name, from the revision which
I made general, in the month of September of the said year, of the
paid positions in which certain wages and rations that they enjoyed
were lessened and reduced, because they were so large. He shall do
it all distinctly and clearly, so that the saving that has been made
for his Majesty's royal estate may be seen, in order that it might
be evident in his royal Council. Given in Manila, May twenty-four,
one thousand six hundred and thirty-six.
