woods with their women. So it was difficult for the missionaries to do their
Christian work. Also, the local Indians were angry with some lazy soldiers who ran cattle into their farmland. Jayme complained these to Fages that Indians attacked missionaries because Presidio soldiers abused Indians and raped Indian women. But, Fages ignored the requests from Jayme. The Franciscans missionaries and the military were two powerful Spanish groups in Alta California. Both of them wanted to extend their authority in the same area. Some military professional officers were "influenced by Enlightenment ideas about equality and liberty," so they did not agree with "the paternalism which the mission system imposed on the indigenous peoples." Moreover, the military side was not satisfied with the mission system's attempt to occupy all the materials.

After plundering the chapel, they set the other buildings ablaze. The commotion soon awakened the two missionaries, the

Rather than run to the stock hold for shelter, Fray Luis walked toward the band of warriors, uttering the traditional Franciscan greeting: "Amar a Dios, hijos!"—"Love God, my children!"

The lack of a dependable water supply, coupled with the proximity of the military personnel at the Presidio, led to Jayme to ask for and being granted permission to relocate the mission from its original site, atop Presidio Hill, to the valley several miles east, where it is now situated. Serra's superior knew about this letter and cite some of Jayme's words in his letter to the Viceroy

On
October 3, 1775, sixty converted Indians were baptized in Mission San Diego. Local Indian people and especially the religious leaders felt the more serious threat from the Spaniards and they "believed the priests to be powerful and potentially dangerous shamans." Thus, the relations between Jayme's Mission and the natives of San Diego were already strained before the riots of 1775.

conversations with Jayme about moving the mission site. On
January 8, 1775, Serra wrote Bucarelli a letter informing him that the site of Mission San Diego had moved to a new location in August 1774. Almost immediately there was a noticeable increase in the number of conversions which, by 1775, stood at 431.

Fray Luis became "Lector of
Philosophy" upon completion of his coursework, a position he occupied San Francisco from 1765 to 1770. After learning that the Spanish had infiltrated Alta California, Jayme made a decision to apply to be a missionary in the New World. He got permission from the Commissary

On the other hand, some of the local

After Luis Jayme was killed, "the principal rancherĂas within a twenty-five-mile radius" were brought back to the Presidio jail. "Thirteen alleged leaders" were imprisoned for more than one year and "several of these were later exiled." Father Serra reacted to the death of Father Jayme with these

Luis Jayme had a hard time on the mission because several clashes broke out between Jayme and regional commander Fages. Jayme reported in a letter dated 17 October 1772 that some soldiers had raped Kumeyaay women near the Mission San Diego. When the locals saw a Spaniard coming, they fled to the
