harm ; and there was no remedy for it except establishing a Spanish 

 settlement and garrison. 



1425. He founded and established the city of Guamanga at an 

 Indian village of the same n^me close by the great Cordillera of 

 the Andes ; and after he had established the settlers there and appor- 

 tioned among them the Indians of the provinces which he designated 

 as its district, Don Francisco Pizarro tried by every possible means 

 to bring the Inca to submission and put an end to these great losses 

 and murders ; but the savage would never agree to any of the proposals 

 made to him ; and so the Marques decided to make war on him and 

 force him to fight. He named his brother Gonzalo Pizarro for this 

 task ; and although he pressed him hard on various occasions, Mango 

 Inca made loud professions of desiring peace, but deceitfully, to see 

 if he could arrange for better opportunities of carrying out his 

 attacks ; he sent word to the Marques, seeing that he was hard pressed 

 by Gonzalo Pizarro and his men, and asked for peace under certain 

 conditions which he formulated. 



1426. At this news, Don Francisco Pizarro set out quickly for 

 the Yucay Valley with the desire of repressing Inca Mango Capac 

 Yupangui ; he sent him word from there that he was waiting for him, 

 to settle the conditions of peace and give him full satisfaction ; and 

 to put him under greater obligation he sent him a present of silk 

 clothing, a white pony, and other valuables, with two of his own 

 servitors whom he sent as ambassadors ; and as the Inca never had 

 any intention of being friendly with the Spaniards, for he said they 

 had taken his country away from him and tyrannized over it, he 

 killed the envoys and withdrew to Viticos, making a mock of Don 

 Francisco Pizarro, who felt it keenly, and in revenge killed one of 

 the Inca's wives whom he held captive, although she was not at fault. 



Later, some of the Spaniards deserted to the Inca, where he was 

 up in the mountains, recklessly devoting himself to gambling ; 

 one killed the Inca, as the histories relate, but the Indians killed 

 them ; but for a time in this respect the country stayed peaceful and 

 undisturbed.
