PALOMINO, Juan Alonso (pah-lo-me'-no), Spanish soldier, born in Andalusia late in the 15th century" died in Cuzco, 16 November, 1553. He went to Peru after the death of Atahualpa, and is first mentioned as fighting in the battle of Salinas on the side of Almagro. After the victory of Gonzalo Pizarro he was banished by the latter, and took part in the unfortunate expedition of Pedro Candia to the east of the Andes range. When Pizarro pronounced in rebellion against the viceroy Nufiez Vela, Palomino followed the former's party and was sent to the fleet of Pedro de Hinojosa, by whom he was commissioned to capture a brother of the viceroy, who had been sent to Spain with Pizarro's son as prisoner. He overtook Nunez in Buenaventura and took him captive to Peru, releasing Pizarro's son. When President Pedro de la Gasca arrived, Palomino with the fleet went over to the royalist side, and was sent, to Callao to gather the fugitives from Pizarro's party, and as captain of infantry he took part in the passage of Apurimac river and the battle of Sacsahuana, where Pizarro was defeated. When Francisco Hernandez Giron (q. v.) made his first attempt at revolution, Palomino fled to Lima, cutting the bridges of Apurimac and Abancay, but after Giron's pardon he returned to Cuzco, and during the second successful revolt, on 12 November, was attacked by the rebels during a festivity and dangerously wounded, dying a few days after.
