Indictment of the Baja Cal. governor (Goycoechea): tyranny & corruption — contraband with foreign ships, selling foreign goods at his private Loreto stores (profiting off the royal warehouse), forcing troops to buy there, taking the soldiers' rations & cigarettes to resell, selling the troops' munitions to traders, gambling, troops & families in misery, demoralization; only *gachupines* employed; the Padre Presidente indifferent.
