Murillo
Velarde, S. J., this name is to be seen west of Caraga and Bislig
(Mindanao). English authors speak of the Tagaboloyes, Waitz mentions
their clear color, and Mas calls them Igorrotes. Others add that they
were Mestizos of Indians, and more fables to the same effect. Their
region has been well explored, but only Manabos and Mandayas have
been found there. The last named are clear colored, so Tagaboloyes
seems to be another name for Mandayas. The name sounds temptingly
like Tagabalies."
[86] This was Balthasar Carlos, born in 1630; he died in 1646. He
was betrothed to Mariana of Austria, but his father, Felipe IV,
married her in 1649.
[87] In 1552 Felipe II ordered a royal monopoly on playing-cards to
be established throughout his western dominions. All cards were to be
stamped with the royal arms. The manufacture and sale of them was sold
in 1578 to Hernando de Caseres, who paid a royalty of one real for each
pack. The value of the privilege gradually increased as well as the
price of cards paid by the public.
