Guerra y Noriega → Gov. Solá: has sent for the 3 cannons from San Buenaventura, the two 2-pdrs from Santa Inés & Purísima — which have no shot (*bala*); the added artillery needs more men, esp. lacking gun-platforms; the local militia should help; scarcity prevented sending matériel to San Diego; ⭐ approves 'bala roja' (red-hot shot) against the pirates 'pero desgraciadamente no hay allí quien sepa aplicarla' (no one knows how to use it)
