Two other Indians of the guard, fearing vengeance might ba wrecked on them, took refuge in a room of Gue- delupe convent tower, where they made a stand, shooting through the door at the Spaniards who called on them to warrender. The latter burst the door open, and the Indians climbed through the wladow and lowered themselves by the light- ning red to the ground, where they were made pilsoners by two Spanish marines on guard,
