Spain decreased FL's soldier plazas from 300 to 150
In an effort to economize, and at the recommendation of Governor Menendez de Canzo, the crown attempted to return the garrison size to 150 men; it succeeded only in making his successor, Governor Ybarra, unpopular. [Note 6: Pedro Redondo Villegas 4/20/1601; Fr. Juan Moreno 4/18/1673; Alonso de las Alas 3/12/1608]
It [the 1,500 ducats for “troop commodities” was a bonus (ventajas) fund] doubled with the size of the garrison in the 1570s, but after the temporary reduction during the governorship of Ybarra the second 1,500 ducats was not restored.
...[Note 9: Cedula to Gov.-elect Ybarra 5/19/1603]
