PALACIO, Diego Garcia de (pah-lah'-the-o),
Spanish soldier, born in Asturias, Spain, about 1530; died after 1580. Little is
known of his early life, except that he was auditor of Guatemala in 1576,
according to a report that was made by him to the king of Spain in that year,
and published in 1860 by Ephraim G. Squier in his "Documents concerning the
Discovery and Conquest of America," under the title of "Carta dirigida al Rey."
His name is found again on a contract that was made with
Diego Lopez of Trujillo, Honduras, on 4 December, 1576, for the conquest and
colonization of the province of Tegucigalpa, from Cape Camaron to San Juan
river. In another letter to the king, dated 8 March, 1578, which is in the
archives of Seville, he offered to conquer and pacify the Philippine islands at
his own expense, and urged the change of the transit between the Atlantic and
Pacific, from Mexico and Panama, to the route through Honduras, from Puerto
Caballos to the Bay of Fonseca.
On 30 April, 1579, he addressed another letter to the crown
from Nicaragua about the pillaging of the coast of Peru by Francis Drake. In
1580 he was ordered as auditor to Mexico, and he was given in 1581 the degree of
LL.D. by the University of that city, of which he afterward became rector. He
was appointed commander of the fleet that was dispatched from Acapulco against
the English corsairs of the South Sea, and his commission, which is in the
archives of Mexico, gave him great latitude, but the result of the expedition is
not known, and his name does not appear again. He wrote
"Dialogos Militares" (Mexico, 1583)and "Instrucción Nautica para el uso de las
Naos" (1587).
