later went out from that place, marching toward Mexico, thinking
all the other Spaniards of the province were dead.
(B) The Outbreak at Puaray, Sandia, and Alameda.-In the
pueblos of Puaray, Sandia, and Alameda, all of which had been
planning a revolt for a long time,' and in the districts surround-
ing these pueblos, the atrocities and outrages committed were of
the same fierce and unrelenting character as elsewhere, though the
details for the outbreak in them were unfortunately omitted by
Garcia when he made autos summarizing the revolt in Rio Abajo.
In connection with the general facts regarding the revolt of these
pueblos, mention has already been made of the small force of
refugees from Jemez and Sia having escaped from "La Juris-
dicion de Yndio Xemes y Queres," to Sandia in Rio Abajo, being
aided in doing so by Alonzo Garcia, to whom an appeal for aid
had been previously despatched.2 Arriving at that pueblo Garcia
and his small body of refugees found that in his absence the news
of the revolt bad been published among the Tigua Indians, and
that all the inhabitants of Puaray, Alameda, and Sandia were
under arms, having already killed many of the inhabitants of the
valley, and robbed their estancias of horses, cattle, and other prop-
erty, all of which they were collecting in the latter pueblo.3 These
atrocities were begun in the afternoon of August 10, doubtless as
soon as news of the premature outbreak was received from Tesuque,
and were continued with unabated fury, until late the next day,
at which time all the settlers who had not been killed had taken
refuge in the pueblo of Isleta farther south.
(8) The Escape of the Spaniards to Isleta, and the Numbers
Killed in Rio- Abajo.-Immediately upon arriving at Sandia on
the night of August 10, and finding that the Indians of Rio Abajo
were in full revolt as elsewhere, Garcia and his small force, as-
sisted by the two religious in their company, now formed them-
selves into rescue parties and that night and the following day
explored all of the nearby country, as far north as Santo Do-

2Granillo was informed at Jemez by the Indians that Otermin and all
the Spaniards of the province except the inhabitants of Rio Abajo were
dead, which accounts for his having appealed to Garcfa, when otherwise
he would naturally have appealed to Otermin at Santa F.
