which I have brought from the Moqui 

 pueblos — bringing with me the cacique of 

 these Moqui pueblos, for the purpose of 

 establishing their pueblo at the place 

 called Sandia," and thereupon asked for 

 possession of the land at that point "so 

 as to prevent my converts from returning 

 toapostacy." The governor made the 

 desired grant (which now consists of 

 24,187 acres, confirmed by Congress ), and 

 the new pueblo was established in due 

 form under the name Nuestra Senora de 

 los Dolores y San Antonio de Sandia (see 

 Meline, Two Thousand Miles, 214, 1867; 

 Prince, New Mexico, 38, 1883). The 

 population of Sandia was 78 in 1910. See 

 Pueblos, Tigua. (f. w. h. )

San Diego ( Saint James). The first mis- 

 sion established within the present state 

 of California. After the expulsion of the 

 Jesuits in 1767, the Spanish authorities 

 determined to found a number of military 

 and missionary establishments in Califor- 



nia. The mission work was placed in the 

 hands of the Franciscans, and Father 

 Junipero Serra, who was already presi- 

 dent of the missions of Lower California, 

 took charge. Two vessels and two land 

 expeditions were dispatched northward 

 from the settlements in Lower California, 

 and reached the harbor of San Diego, 

 named and described in 1602 by Vizcaino, 

 in the early summer of 1769. Serra 

 arrived with the last land division on 

 July 1, and on July 16 he formally 

 founded the mission, dedicating it to San 

 Diego de AlcaM. The place chosen was 

 at the present Old Town, on a hill near 

 the bay, at or near the native village of 

 Cosoy. The natives were by no means 

 timid; indeed they soon became so bold in 

 their thievish operations that they made a 

 concerted attempt to plunder the settle- 

 ment. In the conflict which followed, 

 Aug. 15, 1769, one Spaniard and a nuin- 

 ber of Indians were killed. After this a 

 stockade was built around the mission, 

 and the natives became more respectful. 

 The missionary work was at first without 

 success, and it was a year or more before 

 the first neophyte was enrolled, while 

 for several years the work progressed but 

 slowly. During the first few years the 

 mission also suffered much from lack of 

 supplies, and at one time was on the 

 point of being abandoned when the sup- 

 plies arrived. Owing to lack of knowl- 

 edge of local conditions the crops of the 

 first two or three years were not success- 

 ful. In 1774 the mission was moved n. e. 

 up the valley about 6 m. to a place called 

 by the natives Nipaguay, while the old 

 site at Cosoy became the presidio. At 

 the new locality various buildings were 

 erected, including a wooden church, 18X 

 57 ft, with roof of tules. At the end of 

 this year there were 97 neophytes; the 

 crops had been fairly successful and the 

 livestock were increasing. Daring the 

 summer of 1775 the prospects seemed 

 bright: on one day 60 new converts were 

 baptized ; but a little later, on the night 

 of Nov. 4, 1775, the mission was attacked 

 by nearly 800 Indians. The total num- 

 ber of persons at the mission was only 

 11 — 4 soldiers, the two priests, and 5 

 others, two of whom were boys. Father 

 Jayme and two of the men were killed, 

 and most of the buildings burned. This 

 uprising seems to have been due largely 

 to two of the recently baptized neophytes, 

 who incited the neighboring rancherias 

 to make the attack. For several years 

 after there were reports of intended hos- 

 tilities, but aside from an expedition sent 

 against the hostile Indians of Pamo in 

 1778, there seems to have been no open 

 conflict. Meanwhile the mission build- 

 ing had been rebuilt and the number of 

 neophytes increased rapidly. In 1783
