In 1599 and 1600 he served under Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy in the war of Piamonte. In 1600 he was in Naples with viceroy Lemos.
In 1601 he was commissioned to return to America. He was a pattern of infantery captain in a galeon to islas de Barlovento ( Windward Islands), but until 1602 didn´t sail in don Luis Fernández de Córdova´s navy.
It was Cuellar´s last military service. He lived in Madrid in the period 1603-1606, hoping for new commissions in America.
Nothing is known about Cuellar's death or whether he had any issue.
