hats and erossine arms over thftir.Jirafi.ta

ana maae iiieir requests.
First was a guarantee of their lives,
liberty and a pardon for past offenses,
which was granted by the Governor on
condition of their submission being com
plete. Second was a request for a return of
their people deported to Yucatan, to
