Code entry
Pedro Redondo Villegas had secret information that someone had removed 19,000 ducats from the treasure chest just before Drake captured it, and this may have been true. A member of the English raiding party wrote that the coffer he saw had already been broken open and ransacked. [Note 94: Cedula to Pedro Redondo Villegas 11/14/1600. The acting officials in 1586 were Alonso Sanchez Saez, Juan de Junco, and Bartolome de Arguelles. Their report on the raid is in 6/17/1586.] (Bushnell KC)
