took the habit, and later became comisario general of his order in Spain. Jaime took the habit in 1774 at the convent of Jesus extra muros at Palma, where he was for some time a teacher. At his own request he was assigned to Mexico, but at Barcelona on his way was detained by an appointment as collector of alms for San Fernando college. He finally sailed with the alms collected in June 1794, arriving at the college in August. Appointed to California in Feb. 1795, he landed at Monterey August 25th. He served at San Carlos till February 1796, and at Soledad for 25 years until October 1821, when he was transferred as invalid to Sta Bárbara. He was a kind-hearted, indulgent man, beloved for that reason by the neophytes; and the reader will remember how HIST. CAL., VOL. II. 37

At San Buenaventura José Señan, president of the missions, died in August 1823, and his place as minister was taken by Francisco Suñer. Vitoria
well they treated him at the revolt of 1824 when the insurgents had possession of Sta Bárbara Mission. He was, moreover, a very earnest missionary in the carlier times, though regarded by his superiors as one of somewhat mediocre abilities. His name is inseparably connected with the mission of Soledad. In later years he was confined to his room by the torments of rheumatism, sceking alleviation in snuff and cigars, and in dreams of revisiting his native island and meeting again his old friend Bestard, dreams never to be realized, for he died Dec. 2, 1829, and his remains were deposited in the vault of the Sta Bárbara church.

Padre Antonio Ripoll was, like Jaime, a native of Palma in Mallorca, where he was born in 1785, becoming a Franciscan in 1799. He sailed from Cádiz in March 1810, and arrived at the college of San Fernando June 20th. A year later he was assigned to California, but on account of revolutionary troubles did not reach Lower California till April 1812, coming up to San Diego in July. He was minister at Purísima until May 1815, and at Santa Barbara till Jan. 1828, when he fled secretly in an American vessel under circumstances that are fully related in chap. iv. of vol. iii. of this history. Padre Ripoll was noted for his enthusiasm in any cause to which he gave his attention, particularly in the improvement of manufacturing industries and of mission buildings, in which he was very successful. At the time of the Bouchard attack his enthusiasm took a military form and he organized a neophyte force of 180 men, a 'Compañía de Urbanos Realistas de Santa Bárbara,' in the patriotism and fighting qualities of which body of men the padre had unlimited faith. In the revolt of 1824 Ripoll could see nothing but the act of Indians in respecting church property and the padres. All dangers sank into insignifi- cance before that act, and the subsequent killing of neophytes was, in his eyes, murder. From that time he was discontented and had no patience to endure the later troubles to which the padres were subjected as Spaniards and royalists. He determined to leave the country, and to go secretly that he might escape detention and annoyance. He probably took with him such money as was within his reach, but not more than a few thousand dollars, the taking of which under the circumstances was not a very discreditable act. In 1832 he was residing in good health at his native town. Arch. Misiones, MS., i. 402- 3; Arch. Sta B., x. 437; Sarria, Informe sobre Frailes, 1817, MS., 51, 128-9; Prov. Rec., MS., xi. 35; Arch.

left the mission in 1824 and José Altimira came in 1826. The latter ran away from California in 1828; but Francisco Javier Uría had come in 1827; so that Suñer and Uría were left as associate ministers at the end of the decade. 46 The decline of San Buenaven- tura was even more marked and rapid in some respects than that of Santa Barbara. In the number of its cattle it dropped from the head of the mission list to the fifteenth place; and in its crops there was a great falling-off. As early as 1822 the padres presented a discouraging report respecting the mission lands and the agricultural and stock-raising prospects. The Indians, however, had a number of gardens along the
it was the opinion of the friars that the islands ought to be settled by the remnants of their original people. Misiones, Cuaderno de Estados, 1822, MS., 270. We have seen that the new church was dedicated in 1820, but con- siderable improvements were made in different mission buildings during the first half of this decade, especially in the reservoir and fountain. Duhaut- Cilly, Viaggio, i. 271-80, gives a good description of the mission as it appeared in 1827, including the fountain with its stone bear spouting water, and a water-mill to which Ripoll was at the time giving his whole attention, though it was not yet in running order. In a scrap in Hayes' Emig. Notes, 343, it is stated that about 1824 the padres laid the corner-stone and prepared adobes for a church at San Emilio, but the work was abandoned on account of the revolt. I find no other record on this subject. Description of church in Id., 473, with mention of a road over Mt S. Marcos by which timber was brought. In 1822 the mission lands are described as extending 7-8 1. E. to w., and 3-4 1. N. to s. Pasturage insufficient. Soil good, but no irrigation. Locusts troublesome. Grain sufficient to feed the neophytes with the aid of meat, fish, and fruits. Misiones, Cuaderno de Estados, 1822, MIS., 240, 278-9; Arch. Sta B., MS., ix. 130-2.

46 For biographical sketch of Señan see chap. xxii., this vol. Padre José Altimira was a native of Barcelona, where he also entered the Franciscan order; and he was 32 years of age when in 1819 he came to the Mexican co !- lege. He arrived at Monterey Aug. 18, 1820. He served at San Francisco in 1820-4; at S. Francisco Solano in 1824-6; and at S. Buenaventura in 1826-7. This padre brought from Spain and Mexico a good reputation for talent and application, a reputation which he sustained during his short stay in Califor- nia; but he showed also a spirit of independence which led to much chafing under the restraint of superior orders, and he made enemies even among the friars. His fame in California rests upon his foundation of S. Francisco Solano in 1823, at which time he had a bitter controversy with his superiors and associates; and on his flight in company with Ripoll in January 1828- both of which topics are fully recorded elsewhere. See chap. xxii. of this vol. and iv. of vol. iii. On account of his brief service in the country, his independence of character, and the resulting controversies, his flight was less to be wondered at than that of Ripoll. As late as 1860 he is said to have been living at Teneriffe. On his early life and coming to California, see Pay- eras' report of 1820, in Arch. Sta B., MS., iii. 140; Autobiog. Auto;j., MS ..

At Purísima Padre Sanchez was succeeded by Antonio Rodriguez in 1821; and the latter, dying, by Marcos Antonio Vitoria in 1824. Vitoria seems to have served alone, for Prefect Payeras, as we have seen, had died in April 1823.43 The great event of the

48 For biographical sketch of Payeras see chap. xxii. this vol. Antonio Catarino Rodriguez was one of the few Mexican friars in California before 1830, having been born at San Luis Potosí in 1777 on Jan. Ist. He took the habit of St Francis at the convent in his native city, where he served as con- vent preacher, vicar, master of novices, and professor of moral philosophy. He became a member of the college of San Fernando in August 1808, and arrived at Monterey June 22, 1809. His missionary service was at Sta Cruz till 1811, at S. Luis Obispo till 1821, and at Purísima till his death in 1824. He died, however, at San Luis Obispo on Nov. 24th and was buried in the church of that mission. As a missionary Rodriguez was rated according to the Franciscan standard, not always identical with that of common sense, as of but moderate talent; but he excelled greatly as a preacher to gente de razon. His virtues and kindness of disposition caused him to be well liked

decade at this mission was the Indian revolt of 1824 and the battle by which the place was retaken after having been for some time in possession of the rebels; but this affair has been fully described in another chapter.4 In the revolt the buildings were much damaged, and it would seem that the church, though a new structure, had to be rebuilt; at least a new church was dedicated on October 4, 1825.50 Purísima showed a gain in cattle for this decade, and in this respect was in 1830 excelled by only San Luis and San Gabriel; but in other respects this mission was advancing toward ruin as rapidly as any of its neigh- bors. 51
At Santa Inés Padre Rodriguez served till 1821; Uría until 1824; and Blas Ordaz from 1823, being therefore alone in his ministry for the last half of the decade. In the revolt of 1824, which first broke out at this mission, a large part of the buildings are said to have been destroyed; but I find no record of re- pairs or rebuilding.52 Like its neighbor Santa Inés

Early in the year of his death, already ill and infirm, he was taken by the rebel neophytes and kept for some weeks a prisoner; but was treated with great respect, and worked faithfully for the interests of his flock at the time of their surrender. He went to San Luis soon after his release. S. Luis Obispo, Lib. Mision, MS .; Arch. Misiones, MS., i. 400-1; Arch.

LUIS ANTONIO ARGUELLO was captain of the San Francisco company until his death, which occurred March 27, 1830.1 During Argüello's absence in Mon- terey as acting governor in 1822-5, till his return in 1827, and after his suspension in February 1828, Lieutenant Ignacio Martinez was comandante. San- tiago Argüello, though absent at San Diego, was company alférez until 1827, when Mariano Guada- lupe Vallejo was promoted from cadet in the Mon-
1 For biographical sketch of Gov. Argüello, see chap. i. of vol. iii., this history. How much of the time he was actually in command at San Fran- cisco after giving up the governorship I am unable to say exactly. He could not have returned from the south much before the end of 1827, and early in 1828 he was suspended from the command. There is no evidence that he was ever reinstated, and of him in 1828-30 nothing is known except that he had some business quarrels with Capt. Cooper. He probably spent much of the time at his rancho of Las Pulgas. Lieut. Martinez, whose later conduct at the time of the Solis revolt in 1829 was not very creditable, was not popular with his men, who in 1822 petitioned for his removal. An investigation was ordered, as appears from a letter of Acting Gov. Argüello of Dec. 31st; but of the result nothing appears. Vallejo, Doc. Hist. Cal., MIS., i. 52. In the same year there was an order of Gov. Sola to reprimand Licut. Antonio del Valle for disrespect to Martinez. Id., i. 48.

terey company to fill the place. Vallejo, however, did not come to San Francisco till 1830. José San- chez was brevet alférez throughout the decade. Luis Peralta was company sergeant until 1826, when he left the service to become a ranchero, and was suc- cceded by Francisco Soto in 1827. Soto was brevet alférez in 1829, and in 1830 José Berreyesa succeeded him as sergeant. José Joaquin Estudillo was cadet in this company till 1822, and Raimundo Estrada from 1823. The accounts were kept successively by Argüello, Martinez, Estrada, and Vallejo as habili- tados.2
So far as I can determine from numerous but con- tradictory rosters and accounts, the presidial company of San Francisco had dwindled to fifty men or perhaps less in 1830. There were also seven invalids,3 most if not all of whom lived at San José, and seven artil-
2 The habilitado was also postmaster and in the last years also comisario subalterno in charge of the revenues. There was no ayuntamiento at San Francisco. The electores de partido were Francisco Castro in 1822, Francisco de Haro in 1827, and José Peña in 1830.
3 Among the inválidos in the early years of the decade was the old ex-al- ferez of the company, Ramon Lasso de la Vega, who had disappeared from official life before 1790, who died at San José in 1821, and whose biography may be found in vol. i. ehap. xxii. of this history.
Another was the venerable Sergeant Pedro Amador, brevetted alférez in retirement, who died at S. José April 10, 1824. Amador was a native of Cocula, in what is now Jalisco, and was not a Spaniard as has sometimes been stated. He enlisted in April 1764 (or in Aug. 1765 more likely) and rose to be a sergeant in the Loreto company. Certificate of Lieut. Sal, 1791, in Prov. St. Pap., MS., x. 86. He was in the first expedition to Alta Califor- nia in 1769, receiving on May 27, 1771, a certificate of faithful and cheerful ser- vice from Capt. Rivera y Moncada. St. Pap., Miss. and Colon., MS., i. 52-3. His name appears as that of a sergeant of the garrison at San Diego in 1771, S. Diego, Lib. Mision, MS., 9; but he returned to Loreto, where in December 1773, having to visit his wife at Cocula under circumstances not very clearly ex- plained, but reflecting no discredit on him, he was dismissed from the service, receiving from Gov. Barri a certificate of good eonduet with a pass to travel where he pleased, but forfeiting his rank as sergeant and his eight years of ser- vice. In October of the same year he is mentioned as having been in command on the frontier. Palou, Noticias, i. 180, 183. In 1774 after eight months' absence he returned, probably with his wife, and re-enlisted as a private in the Loreto company. Ten years later, in 1784, he returned to California by changing places with a soldier of the Sta Bárbara company, in which he was soon inade cor- poral. In 1787 he was transferred to S. Francisco as sergeant, and in 1791 he petitioned successfully that the eight years and four months of his first term of service be added to his record.

lerymen. The infantry detachment of the San Blas company numbered 32 in 1821-2, and was only 14 in 1823; but there are no later records, though as small sums were paid to account of the detachment down at least to 1828, I suppose there were ten or twelve infantrymen left in 1830 under the command of Alfé- rez Haro. Thus the effective military force was not
been offered the place of alférez at Loreto. In all reports he was accredited with courage, application, good conduct, and average capacity. St. Pap., Sac., MS., v. 76-7; i. 56; Prov. Rec., MS., v. 113-14; S. José, Lib. Mision, MS., i .; Prov. St. Pap., Ben. Mil., MS., xxi. 5; Amador, Memorias, MS. The nature of his military services during this period is indicated by the titles of documents from his pen in my list of original authorities. He failed to get his promotion in active service, but in 1802 we find him on the list of inválidos as brevet alférez with $200 a year. For the last 10 or 12 years of his life he was nearly blind, failed to get his pension, and was supported at S. José by his son. He died April 10, 1824, at the age of 82 years, and was buried by P. Viader next day in the cemetery at Sta Clara. Prov. St. Pap., Ben. Mil., MS., xxxi .; Vallejo, Doc. Ilist. Cal., MS., xxiii. 28; St. Pap. Sac., MS., i. 55; Amador, Memorias, MS. The old sergeant was one of the most worthy of California's earliest settlers, and it is well that one of her counties bears his name, or rather that of his son. Amador was twice married, first to María de la Luz, by whom he had a son and a daughter, the former of whom once in later years came to Monterey as a courier; and next to a widow María Ramona Noriega, a woman of some attainments for her circumstances, who could teach her children-of whom four were born in Lower California, and seven in California-to read and write. She died in 1801. None of the descendants acquired any special prominence, and but little is known beyond their names. One of the daughters was the mother of Rafael Pinto. S. Fran- cisco, Lib.
