In the outlying districts around Santo Domingo the devastations
and atrocities committed were typical of those in other parts of
the province. Between that pueblo and San Felipe, a distance of
two leagues, the bodies of six dead men were left in the road.2
Below San Felipe a little more than two leagues, at the estancia
of the sarjento mayor Crist6bal de Anaya, were afterwards found
the naked bodies of twelve persons, including Anaya himself, his
wife, Dofia Leonor de Mendosa, two soldier sons, and three chil-
dren. A quarter of a league further on, the house of Pedro de
Cuellar was sacked and destroyed; and still a little distance fur-
ther, the house of Captain Augustin de Carbajal was robbed.
Here Carbajal, his wife, Dofia Damiana Dominges de Mendosa,
a daughter, and another woman were killed, and their stripped
bodies left in the open house." All these murders were committed
on Sunday, the day following the massacre in the pueblo, of Santo
Domingo,4 and the fact that as many as twelve persons had as-
sembled at one house indicates that they had done so in the futile
attempt to protect themselves after having learned of the move-
ments and plans of the Indians.

dicion de Yndios Xemes y Queres," who with several other soldiers
and one missionary escaped from the pueblo of San Diego de
Jemez, being aided in so doing by the Lieutenant-General of Rio
Abajo, Alonso Garcia, who also made two autos summarizing the
events of the revolt in those places. According to the testimony
of Granillo, he was advised by an Indian of the pueblo of Jemez,
named Lorenzo Musa, that all the natives of the province desired
