d' Ethnographie_, Tom. iii, pp. 309-311. This writer also gives some
valuable facts about the Indian insurrection in the Sierra de Alicia, in
1873.

[36-*] The long account given by Mr H. H. Bancroft of this insurrection
is a travesty of the situation drawn from bitterly prejudiced Spanish
sources, of course, utterly out of sympathy with the motives which
prompted the native actors. See his _History of the Pacific States_, Vol
ii, p. 696 _sqq._ Ordonez y Aguiar, who lived on the spot within a
generation of the occurrences recognizes in Maria Candelaria (whose true
name Bancroft does not give) the real head of the rebellion, "quien
ordenaba los ardides del motin; .... de lo que principalmente trataban
las leyes fundamentales de su secta, era de que no quedase rastro alguno
de que los Europeos havian pisado este suelo." His account is in his
unpublished work, _Historia del Cielo y de la Tierra_, written at
Guatemala about 1780. Juarros, speaking of their rites, says of them:
"Apostando de la fe, profanando los vasos sagrados, y ofreciendo
sacrilegos cultos a una indizuela." _Historia de la Ciudad de
Guatemala_, Tom. i, p. 17.

discussion of the subject in the _Compte-Rendu_ of the Seventh
International Congress of Americanists, p. 559, _seq._ The adoption of
subterranean temples was peculiarly a Zapotecan trait. "Notandose
