Sebastian de Ocampo, by the command of Ovando, sailed roand Cuba, and first discovered, with certainty, that this country which Columbus onc« supposed to be a part of the contineht was only a large island.
Tiiis voyage round Cuba was one of the last occurrences 8nder the administration of Ovando. ^ver aince the death of Columbus, hia son Don Diego had been employed in aoliciting Fenlinand to grant him the offices of viceroy and admiral in the New World, together with all the other immunities an...d profits which descenikd to him by inheritance, m consequence of the original capitulat^ with his father. But if these dignities and revenues appeared so considerable to jPerdinand, that, at the expense of being deemed v unjust, as well aa ungrateful, he had wrested them from Columbas» It IS not surprising that he should be unwilling to confer them on his son. Accordingly Don Diego wasted two years in incessant but fruitless importunity. Weary of this, he endeavoured at length to obtain, by a legal sentence, what he could not procure from the favour of an interested monarch: He commeni^ed a suit against Ferdinand before the council which managed Indian aflTairs, and that court with an integrity which reflects honour upon its proceed- ing^, decided against the king, and confirmed all the privileges stipulated in the capitulation.
