True Life " (New York, 1875), while those entitled "Snow," "Rain," "New," and "Old" comprise some of his best work. His publications are " Echoes of Memory and Emotion " (1859) ; and "Sketches of Life and Landscape" (latest ed., 1873). His complete poetical works were printed for private circulation (1875-'6), but were never published. This volume included his latest poems, "Minny Gray," "Skaters," "The Pastoral," "True Euclid," " Bank Note," and others.
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.

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.
