This information furnishes
conclusive evidence that the mis-
sion could not be sustained
among such incorrigible creatures
with any hope of success, and the
only question be decided is the
length of time it was continued
in that locality before it was re-
moved to the place where the
ruins have been found. The ab-
sence of positive evidence on this
point leaves the date open to
conjecture. The supposition is
that the few Cujanes who found
their way to San Antonio in 1750,
before the first mission was
founded, were collected and con-
veyed to the new site, after those
under church discipline were re-
moved there with the mission,
and that the buildings were
erected during the thirteen years

We also know that the mission
was abandoned by the friars in
1781, and that they retired to
the mission of San Juan Capis-
trina, taking with them the mis-
sion records, chapel ornaments,
etc. They remained in that place
of refuge four years and perhaps
associated themselves with the
mission work, but at that time
the missions were almost desti-
tute of subsistence and very few
Indians were attached to the
missions. It was realized that
the institutions had failed to ac
complish the work in contempla-
tion and that the time was last
approaching when they would be
abandoned.

some of the old ministers and
take in new ones whose choice
must be approved by the organ-

This reconstructed cabinet will
then endeavor to carry on the

early in June.
Official announcement of the
new ministrial slate probably
will not be made until tomorrow,
when the National Assembly

Government leaders are re-
