Long report on the October 1834 San Gabriel Indian uprising: the Gentile Capt. Marona warns of four Gentile Captains gathering; ~200 armed Indians march on San Gabriel (excesses at Rancho San Bernardino en route); Fr. Tomás Estenaga & the colony officer Araujo sent to parley — Estenaga is taken prisoner & stripped (horse, silver cup, crucifix, breviary), freed via Araujo; ⭐⭐⭐⭐ the Gentile Captain confirms 'su venida… era á virtud del llamado que les había hecho el referido Araujo' (Araujo summoned them), waiting 'hasta que el Señor Híjar bajara, si tomaba el mando'; Gutiérrez sends Alférez Ramírez in pursuit (= Doc 253) and orders Araujo to Monterey to present himself to Figueroa. Implicates the Híjar–Padrés colony in inciting the uprising. See Entry 9 [cited: Sav pp.179-183]
