October 1, 1685, Pueblo del Paso (El Paso)

On this same date, Salvador Holguin gave testimony declaring he was a resident of the provinces of New Mexico, living in the Pueblo del Paso. He stated he was about forty—six years of age and married to the sister of the wife of Juan Dominguez de Mendoza. He had known Dominguez de Mendoza for thirty years, Lázaro de Misquia for more than six years, don Alonso Rael de Aguilar for the past three years, and the others who fled to Mexico City he had known since birth because he was a native of New Mexico.

He provided the same testimony as the above witnesses, attesting to the fact that he was one of the soldiers that accompanied Dominguez de Mendoza on the expedition to the pueblo of Cochiti. He had heard from others that the fugitives were taking dispatches from the cabildo justicia and regimiento, without the participation of the alcalde, Francisco Gomez Robledo, Francisco de Anaya, and don Fernando de Chaves." He further stated that it was well known that Dominguez de Mendoza caused much scandal and agitation between the Indians and the Spaniards by saying he was returning to New Mexico as governor and captain general of the kingdom and would be granted the post for three lives with succession going to his sons, Baltasar Dominguez de Mendoza and Juan Dominguez de Mendoza. If this were to be the case, many Spaniards and Indians had said they would leave the kingdom. Salvador Holguin did not sign his testimony because he declared he did not know how to sign his name.
