Perhaps this was the place referred to by Ocampo, who says that the Inca Titu Cusi attended masses said by his friend Friar Diego in a chapel which is "near my houses and on my own lands, in the mining district of Puquiura, close to the ore-crushing mill of Don Christoval de Albornoz, Precentor that was of the Cuzco Cathedral."

I saw, too, how scanty were our means; and yet I believed our Lord would order these things by other ways, and be gracious unto us. See ch. v. section 14, ch. vi. section 1. Ch. xxxi. section 3. This was said by Maria de Ocampo, niece of St. Ch. xxiv. section 5. Dona Guiomar de Ulloa. Ch. xxxiii. section 8. Francis de Salcedo. Ch. xxiii. section 6. Gaspar Daza. See ch. xxiii. section 6.
In this period of anarchy we catch another glimpse of Juan Facundo. He has worked his way down to Buenos Ayres, nine hundred miles from home, and enlists in the regiment of Arribeños, raised by his countryman, General Ocampo, to take part in the liberation of Chile.
The Catholic army has generally been estimated at 6,000 native foot and 500 horse; to these are to be added 300 Spaniards, under Don Alphonso Ocampo, who joined O'Donnell at Castlehaven.

So there he was, helpless and at his wits' end to know what to do. Meanwhile, Ocampo had reached the Pearl Coast, decoyed a number of the natives on board, and made slaves of them, hanging their chief at the yardarm. He also captured a great many others.
When the news of this revolt of the natives was heard at San Domingo, the officers of the colony resolved to send an expedition to avenge the murder of the Dominicans, and a captain, named Ocampo, was placed in command of it. This force started at once, and had reached Porto Rico when Las Casas and his laborers landed.
The slaves Ocampo had captured were brought to San Domingo and sold under the clerico's very eyes; nor could he do anything to prevent it, although, as he tells us himself, he "went raging." He became so angry now, however, that the authorities thought they had better do something to make peace with him.
