ABSTRACT

The governor and the maestro del campo went together to the city of Barquicimeto, where they found Gutierrez de la Pena, drilling the people he had got together ; for although it had at first been determined to muster the forces in Tocuyo, it was afterwards found more convenient to do so in Barquicimeto, because it was a more open country, and nearer to the port where the traitor had landed.
