THE CHURCH OF SAN JOS^ Y SAN MIGUEL DE AGUAYO 



present San Antonio, Texas, under the 

 protection of the presidio of San Antonio 

 de Bejar. It was long considered the 

 most flourishing of the Texas missions, 

 and in 1778 its church, worth $40,000, 

 was said to be the finest in New Spain. 

 The Indian population was 350 in 1762, up 

 to which year there had been 1,054 bap- 

 tisms. The nussion also possessed 1,500 

 yoke of oxen. In 1785 the population 

 was 106; in 1793, 114. It ceased to exist 

 as an independent mission before the 

 close of the century. See Bancroft, No.

San Juan (Saint John). A Tewa pueblo 

 near the e. bank of the Rio Grande, 25 

 m. N. w. of Santa Fe, N. Mex., before the 

 establishment of which the Indians occu- 

 ])ied and abandoned successively 3 other 

 pueblos, immediately previous to the 16th 

 centurv (Bandelier in Arch. Inst. Papers, 

 IV, 21.' 61, et seq., 1892). When Onate 

 visited it in 1598, he established there the 

 headquarters of the provincial govern- 

 ment, and preparations were even made 

 for building the permanent city of "San 

 Francisco" in its vicinity (see Yugeumgge). 

 It was the seat of a Franciscan mission 

 from an early date, and, owing partly to 

 the generous character of its inhabitants 



in 1598 in receiving the people of Yuge- 

 uingge after the voluntary relinquishment 

 of their pueblo to the Spaniards, gained 

 from the latter for their village the desig- 

 nation "San Juan de los Caballeros." In 

 1782, 500 of the inhabitants of San Juan 

 and Santa Clara died of i)estilence in two 

 months. Besides the main pueblo of San 

 Juan the Indians held a portion of the ara- 

 ble lands about Chamita, and a small col- 

 ony of them dwell on the w. side of the Rio 

 Grande at the so-called Pueblito. They 

 claim Pioge, Sajiuwingge, and Pojiu- 

 uingge as ruins of their ancient villages. 

 Pop. 404 in 1910.
