That same afternoon the troops returned and, despite the padre's protest, sacked the Indians' houses and killed all the stragglers they found, regardless of their guilt or innocence.

The Indians refused to return, and retreated further over the mountains to the recesses of the Tulares.

Here they were joined by escaped neophytes from San Fernando and other Missions.

The alarm spread to San Buenaventura and San Gabriel, but few, if any, Indians ran away.

In the meantime the revolt was quelled at Santa Ines and Purisima, as elsewhere recorded.
On the strength of reports that he heard, Governor Argueello recalled the Monterey troops; but this appeared to be a mistake, for, immediately, Guerra of Santa Barbara sent eighty men over to San Emigdio, where, on April 9 and 11, severe conflicts took place, with four Indians killed, and wounded on both sides.
