Causa vs San Diego soldiers (Ramón Figueroa, Dámaso Alipaz, Trinidad, Martín Uriarte, Julián Blanco; 4 ringleaders punished: Blas Olivas, Miguel Alvarado, Ignacio Alipaz, Julián Blanco) for collectively petitioning their commander, Tte Cnl Santiago Argüello, for their back pay (alcances) — a near-mutiny; Argüello allegedly retorted that mission Indians would serve 'con más sumisión y obediencia' and the soldiers weren't needed; the soldiers pleaded they 'no podían hacer el servicio por hallarse desnudos y descalzos' (naked & barefoot, ashamed to appear); punishment: the 4 ringleaders dispersed to the Monterey / S. Francisco / Sta Bárbara companies. Savage's note: 'La cuerda siempre se rompe por lo más delgado'
