Note XVI‑10 — Chapter XVI · REVOLT OF THE CONTRERAS BROTHERS. 1550.

Gasca, Carta, in Col. Doc. Inéd., l. 149-50. See, also, Herrera, dec. viii. lib. vii. cap. vii. Remesal gives 82 as the number slain on the field. Gasca says in his despatch that only three of the citizens of Panamá were killed, though many were wounded but none fatally; a rather improbable statement, considering that the rebels knew they need expect no quarter.
