In this Palou reports to Verger on the uprising in great detail. This being the best account among many in the file on this case. He speaks of the autocracy of gov. Don Phelipe Barn at Loreto, and claims that he has taken all power from the mission governors and fiscales, and has encouraged a group of rebels to lead their peoples against the fathers and has removed the Franciscans guard. Uprisings have already occurred at San Xavier, Loreto, and Todos Santos. The gov. Also sent bad reports on the Franciscans, accusing them of the acts of cruelty which he in fact committed. An excellent and highly detailed report on military and religious relations in the missions. Material on aboriginal culture is, however, lacking. (C. Briggs) (1975)
