the wrong, so he separated the employees embezzlers (inter alia people, to Ayala y

Escobar who went arrested and he sent him to a Cuban prison (then ruled Cuba toFlorida)), he withdrew to his accomplices, he rewarded to those who did their duty, and

government. To avoid complaints of the disaffected and the twisted interpretation thatmay give these measures, he reported to the king of the status of the colony and he

them explained at length that this needed reform and that he them had executed with

hoping that his conduct was approved and for be allowed to he continue forever withthe same functions and prudent management of the affairs of that colony. The king

approved his policy and he continued the same office until the end of its mandate. He,

on several occasions, defeated to the English who were trying to conquer Florida, on

land and sea and he repressed the piracy. He also managed to set a peace treaty with
