MANNING, William, colonist, b. in England about 1616; d. in Cambridge, Mass., 14 March, 1692. He was descended from an ancient family who had their early origin in Germany and went over, in the 4th century, from Saxony to England. His father, of the same name, came to Massachu- setts with his family and settled at Cambridge, where, in 1638, he purchased an estate, and became the founder of a large American posterity. He was one of the chief men of Cambridge, a mer- chant, largely engaged in navigation, and a mem- ber of the first church, as messenger of which he was sent to England in 1669 to invite the Rev. Urian Oai<es to become its pastor. Mr. Manning was one of the select-men of Ca?nbridge. and with Deacon John Cooper, by appointment of the Co- lonial government, directed the erection of Harvard hall, and collected and disbursed the moneys that were raised for its construction.

He studied in a college in Callan, County Kilkenny, emigrated to the United States in 1856, and entered the University of St. Mary of the Lake, Chicago, where he followed a course of theology and philosophy. After graduation he went to California, and was for some time super- intendent and part owner of a mine in Moore's Flat, Nevada county, but he afterward disposed of his interests and sailed for Europe, where he pre- pared for the priesthood in the Sulpitian seminary, Paris, and was ordained in 1861. He was appoint- ed pastor of Virginia City in 1862, with jurisdic- tion over almost the entire country which now forms the state of Nevada, and where he continued during his missionary life. He acquired great in- fluence among the miners of this region, and also won the affection of the Piute Indians, large num- bers of whom became converts. He was for sev- eral years vicar-general of the diocese of Grass Val- ley, and was its administrator during the bishop's absence. He built one of the finest churches on the Pacific coast in Virginia City. In 1880 he was appointed coadjutor bishop of the diocese, and was consecrated bishop of Ceramos in partibus infide- lium on 16 Jan., 1881. In 1884 he succeeded Bishop O'Connell.

'''MANOSALVAS. Hernan Venegas Carillo,''' South American soldier, b. in Cordova. Spain : d. in Venezuela in 1583. He followed Gonzalo Jime- nez de Quesada to South America as a private soldier, served in New Grenada, and rose rapidly in rank. When the governor of that province re- solved to send an expedition, in 1544, to conquer the Panches and Pantagoros Indians, whose lands were said to contain gold-mines, Manosalvas was- offered the command. He accepted it on condi- tion that he should select his soldiers, and set out from Santa Fe early in the year. He defeated the- natives in several engagements, and. reaching the country of the Panches, passed Magdalena river and discovered the sites of Ibague. Santa Agueda, Ambalema, and Mariquita. and the mines of Sa- bandijas and Venadillo. He then explored the banks of Pati (now Bogota) river, and founded, on 6 April, 1544, the city of Tocaima. which soon be- came one of the most prosperous in the colony, but was afterward ruined by an inundation. He founded it anew on a higher level, but it did not achieve its old prosperity. In 1547 he was sent to Spain by the council of New Grenada to ask for the revocation of certain laws that had been en- acted by the governor. Armendariz, and he returned in 1548 after accomplishing the object of his mis- sion. He was afterward sent at the head of troops to aid Gasca {q. v.) in putting down the rebellion of Gonzalo Pizarro in Peru ; but learning on the way that the rebel leader had been defeated, he returned to Santa Fe. He was afterward sent on several missions to Spain in the interest of the colony.

MANRIQUE, José Angel (man-re'-keh), Co- lombian poet, b. in Bogota in 1777; d. in Cacota in 1822. He studied at the College of Nuestra Seriora del Rosario in Bogota. He took part in revolutionary movements in 1794. and his youth alone saved him from being sent to Spain. He afterward entered the church, and was ordained in 1798. He was a zealous partisan of the revolu- tion of 20 July, 1810. and contributed greatly to rouse the enthusiasm of the people. The influence that he obtained on that day he used on a subse- quent occasion in favor of the wife of the viceroy, when she was taken from the convent of the En- senanza to prison. He retired afterward to his curacy at Manta, and was raken prisoner by Morillo in 1816. The service that he had rendered the wife of the viceroy saved his life. In 1818, while cu- rate of Manta. he was brought to trial for having- preached in Tibirita in favor of the insurgents, and for having had unlawful dealings with them in the town of Macheta, procuring them horses, arms, and other implements of war. In the same year he took paxt in the guerilla war of the Almeidas, and was again taken prisoner and sentenced to be banished to Spain. When he was about to embark at Santa Marta, the news of the victorious battle of Boyaca, 17 Aug.. 1819, reached the city. He escaped, and, destitute of means and nearly blind, made his way to Bogota. Bolivar offered him a- place in the choir of the cathedral of that city, but he refused it, and would only accept the curacy of Cacota. Manrique was the author of the burlesque- poems "Tocaimada" and " Tunjunada'" (Bogota,. 1802), and of several notable epigrams.
