HUAYNA CAPAC (wy'-e-nah ca-pack'), Peru- vian Inca, b. in Cuzco, Peru ; d. in Tumipampa, Ecuador, in 1523. He was the son of the Tupac Inca Iupanqui and the empress Mama Ocllo, and succeeded his father in 1483. Before this event he commanded the army against the provinces of Chachapoyas, Pacamurus, Canaris and others in the north of the empire. After he began to reign. he undertook wars of conquest, and extended his dominions toward the north to the river Aucas- mayu, and toward the south to that of Maule, so that his empire included the kingdoms of Quito and Chili. He also conquered the vast territory that extends between Atacama and Chimu, and the important island of Puna. Under his supervision were constructed the important inca roads from Tumbez to Paehacamac, and from this city to Cuzco. In his time the magnificent palaces of Quito, Callii, and Tumipampa were built, and the rich temple of Curicancha was finished, and he established the " coptras " and " chasquis," which were houses on the roads for the better service of the mail. He was bloodthirsty and vindictive in his wars, and particular in exacting the respect and awe of his people, but in his private life was affectionate and tender. He married his sisters Pilcu Huaco, Rahua Ocllo, and his cousin Mama Runtu, daughter of Prince Amaru. Besides these he had GOO other wives, one of whom, a princess of Quito, was the mother of Atahualpa. His predi- lection for this prince brought ruin to the vast empire of the Peruvians, because at his death he divided his dominions into halves, one for Huas- car, the eldest son and heir of the crown according to the law of the nation, and the other for Ata- hualpa. This was the cause of dissension, by which Francisco Pizarro profited. Huayna Capac died shortly after receiving notice of the landing on the coast of the first expedition of the Span- iards, commanded by Pascual de Andagoya (q. v.). He had prepared large armies to defend the coast. as he feared the verification of an old tradition that Peru would be subjugated by foreign invaders after the reign of the twelfth inca. He ordered that his heart should remain at Quito, but his body be transported to Cuzco. During the passage of his funeral from Tumipampa to Cuzco thousands of human victims and animals were sacrificed, and the birds are said to have fallen from the air. struck by the voices of those who accompanied the corpse on the way. — His son, Huascar (wass'-car), Inca of Peru, b. in Cuzco about 1490 ; d. in An- damarca in January, 1533. His real name was Inti Cusi Huallpa, or "Sun of Joy." but, as his father celebrated his birth by making the principal chiefs dance in the square of Cuzco with a thick golden chain of 350 yards long, the prince was henceforth called " Huascar," from this chain. In his youth he accompanied his father on his con- quering expeditions, especially to the kingdom of Quito, and proved a valiant soldier. After Huayna Capac's death, Huascar ascended the throne, and. as he had promised his father, let his half-brother Atahualpa (q. v.) reign in the north ; but later it seems that he repented of this measure, and de- manded that Atahualpa should acknowledge him as suzerain. The latter, not feeling strong enough to resist openly, feigned to submit, and offered to go with a numerous following to Cuzco to render homage to his brother, but secretly sent a strong army under the chieftains Quisquiz and Challcu- chima, divided into many small bodies and with concealed weapons. The unsuspecting Huascar became aware too late of this treachery, and, gath- ering an army, met the invaders near Cuzco, but was defeated and made prisoner in 1528. Al- though Atahualpa ordered the massacre of the greater part of the imperial family, he spared Huascar's life, so as to force him, in case of need, to order the submission of the nation, and kept him a close prisoner at Jauja. After the invasion of Peru by the Spaniards, when Atahualpa from his prison treated for his ransom with Pizarro, he feared that Huascar's existence might become dan- gerous for his own safety, and ordered him to be brought to Cuzco and killed on the road. His orders were executed by drowning the prisoner in the river Andamarca.

HUBARD, William, clergyman, b. in Will- iamsburg, Ya., in 1740; d. near Smithfield, Va., in 1802. His grandfather. James, came from Eng- land to Gloucester county, Ya., about 1700. Will- iam was graduated at William and Mary in 1760, ordained deacon by the Bishop of London in 1773, and priest in 1776. He was in charge of Warwick parish, Ya., in 1773 -'6, and in the latter year be- came rector of St. Luke's church, New- port parish, Isle of Wight co.,Ya., where he remained till his death. Mr. Hubard was a leader in the community, and served many years as a magistrate. The remains of his church, which is often called "Old Sniiili- field Church " or the " Old Brick Church." are rep- resented in the accompanying illustration. It was erected in 1632. and is now the oldest Protestant church-building in the United States. The tower, which is fifteen feet square and forty-five feet high, is still (1887) strong and massive, and the walls of the nave are in fair condition, but most of the wood-work has disappeared.

HUBBARD, Bela, clergyman, b. in Guilford. Conn., 27 Aug., 1739; d. in New Haven. Conn.. 6 Dec, 1812. lie was graduated at Yale in 1758. and five years afterward went to England for ordination." After his return he officiated as reptor of Episcopal churches in Guilford and Killingworth, Conn., until 1767. when he was transferred by the Society for propagating the gospel to West Haven and New Haven, and appointed its missionary. His loyalty to the crown was well known, but by his discreet and inoffensive conduct he escaped personal indignity, and was allowed to perform his duties without molestation. In the yellow-fever epidemic in New Haven in 1795 he remained at his post, and endeared himself to the community by his services, not only to his own congregation, but to members of other churches. In the latter part of his life he was rector of Trinity church, New Haven. Yale gave him the degree of D. D.
