Measures to cut off commerce with American ships. An American two-masted ship anchored near Mission San Luis [Obispo] on pretext of wood/water; Arrillaga: the pretext hides commercial (or 'más siniestros') intent — 'if our side did not deal with them, they would abandon our coasts.' Orders guards (sgt/cabo + 4 soldiers) at landing points, day & night, deny all provisions/water/wood, seize the foreigners if possible (citing Borica's earlier circular of the law of the Indies).
