[34-‡] Jacinto de la Serna, _Manual de Ministros_. p. 138. Sahagun identifies Quilaztli with Tonantzin, the common mother of mankind and goddess of child-birth (_Hist. de Nueva España_, Lib. i, cap. 6, Lib. vi, cap. 27). Further particulars of her are related by Torquemada, _Monarquia Indiana_, Lib. ii, cap. 2. The _tzitzime_ were mysterious elemental powers, who, the Nahuas believed, were destined finally to destroy the present world (Sahagun, l. c., Lib. vi, cap. 8). The word means “flying haired” (Serna). [34-§] Torquemada, _Monarquia Indiana_, Lib. ii, cap. 62. [35-*] Fr.

[35-†] “Trataron de valerse del arte de los encantos y _naguales_” are the words of the author, Fuentes y Guzman, in his _Recordacion Florida_, Tom. i, p. 50. In the account of Bernal Diaz, it reads as if this witch and her dog had both been sacrificed; but Fuentes is clear in his statement, and had other documents at hand.

This writer also gives some valuable facts about the Indian insurrection in the Sierra de Alicia, in 1873. [36-*] The long account given by Mr H. H. Bancroft of this insurrection is a travesty of the situation drawn from bitterly prejudiced Spanish sources, of course, utterly out of sympathy with the motives which prompted the native actors. See his _History of the Pacific States_, Vol ii, p. 696 _sqq._ Ordoñez y Aguiar, who lived on the spot within a generation of the occurrences recognizes in Maria Candelaria (whose true name Bancroft does not give) the real head of the rebellion, “quien ordenaba los ardides del motin; .... de lo que principalmente trataban las leyes fundamentales de su secta, era de que no quedase rastro alguno de que los Europeos havian pisado este suelo.” His account is in his unpublished work, _Historia del Cielo y de la Tierra_, written at Guatemala about 1780. Juarros, speaking of their rites, says of them: “Apostando de la fé, profanando los vasos sagrados, y ofreciendo sacrilegos cultos á una indizuela.” _Historia de la Ciudad de Guatemala_, Tom. i, p. 17.
