To punish the offenders Governor Canzo arose from a sick bed and sailed north up the Inland Passage with a hundred and fifty soldiers. The Indians everywhere fled in terror.1 [Note: 1 Manuscript materials for the history of the subjugation of the Indians are voluminous. Some of the documents are the following: Carta del Gobernador de la Florida Gonzalo Mendez de Canco á 8. M. San Agustin, February 23, 1598 (A. G. I., 54-5-9); Ynformacion sobre la muerte de los Relixiosos, July 11, 1598 (A. G. I., Patronato, 1-1-1/19 Ro. 28);Carta de Gonzalo Mendez de Canco, Gobernador de la Florida, á S. M. En ella trata de la muerte que dieron los Yndios de guale á los Religiosos, San Agustin, August 8, 1598; Auto y pregon del Gobernador de la Florida Gonsalo Mendes de Cango, sobre la libertad de los Yndios, January 31, 1600; Testimonio cerca de la pacificacion de los caciques de la provincia de Guale. May 18, 1600 (A. G. I., 54-5-9).] At Ospo, Zápala, Tolomato, Guale, Tupique, Asao, and Talaje, Canzo destroyed all that was left of towns and cornfields. But he could find no Indians to chastize. Other punitive expeditions were made, and the Indians at last submitted. After nearly a year Father Dávila was recovered from captivity. Don Lucas, a young hostage who confessed to a part in the uprising, was hanged at San Agustin on the public scaffold. The harsh punishment had its effect. Now the Guale chiefs renewed their allegiance, were granted pardon, and once more loyally furnished levies of laborers for the public works at San Agustin.
