Savage heading: 'Depredaciones de indios Sacalanes: aprehension de los cabecillas: ampliacion de facultades p.a castigarlos' [= depredations by the Sacalán Indians, seizure of their ringleaders, and a request for wider powers to punish them]. On a report from the comandante of San Francisco 'sobre q.e gentiles de S.n José, llamados sacalanes, estaban cometiendo depredaciones, dispuso saliese Sarg.to Pedro Amador con partida de soldados p.a aprehender cabecillas y conducirlos al Presidio, lo q.e hizo, aunque encontró resistencia; p.o sin desgracia logró cojer á los delincuentes en n.o de diez'; taken to San Francisco, then to Monterey for lack of provisions and set to public works, and since Sal reports no provisions there either they were sent home 'á los q.e dan muestra de escarm.to'; the cabo de escolta of S.n Juan Bautista reports signs of uprising and that 'indios incendiaron los campos cerca de la Mision, quemándose toda la siembra de trigo'; Sgt. Moraga was sent after them and returned without incident 'trayendo 18 gentiles, un capitanejo, y cristiano de S.ta Cruz, el q.e se persigue hace tres años'. Alberni asks that his powers to punish Indians be enlarged because of his distance from the capital. Spans n32-n33.
