For a time Figueroa held back the tide of secularization, while Carlos Carrillo, the Californian delegate to the Mexican Congress, was doing all he could to keep the Missions and the Pious Fund intact.

She wore an evening gown and her hair was arranged in a high coiffure that made her look taller, older. "Cut!" commanded the man in the horn-rim glasses. "That was splendid, Miss Carrillo, splendid." The cameras stopped grinding. Consuello rose laughing. The orchestra stopped abruptly. She came toward them, touching lightly at her cheeks with a tiny handkerchief.
It had marched only three miles, when, posted behind a small stream which intersected the line of march, the advance of the insurgents seventy-six men, with a small fieldpiece, under José Antonio Carrillo was discovered in front; and, as the column approached, a fire was opened on it, which was answered with a characteristic shout.
There were present forty-eight delegates, seven of whom were Spanish Californians. Of these Carrillo of the south and General Vallejo of Sonoma were prominent.
