va. It Named Fort Butcher OF Arensl,
Where Did Cardenas, Cuba, Get Its Name?

We all know how Key West got
its name. But who knows for whom
the other end of our sea going ferry
line was named? Who can answer?
There was one Cardenas whose
name is written large in the early
days of the American Southwest.
Could it have been named for him?
When the Viceroy of New Spain
sent his expedition north to find
the tabled golden cities of Cibola
and possibly way to India and
Cathay, the commander was the
redoubtable Don Fransisco Vas
quez de Coronado. The name of
Coronado is indeIibly imprinted IN
the history of our Southwestern
States.
In 1889, with his main expedi-
tion then centered at about what
Is now Eagle Pass, Coronado sent
out his main scouting force under
Garcia Lopez de Cardenas. Cardes
mas became the advance guard Uf
this journey into the unknown. And
ne became famous for three things.
The Key West citizen., 1954-11-24

AT the pueblo of Hawikuh, Coro-
nado, leading his men in guided
armor, was the especial target of
the Indiana and was stunned by .
boulder which smashed his helmet.
Cardenas and Alvardo covered
his body with their shields and
stood over him and fought side by
side until the fallen Coronado could
be removed, and thus they un-
doubtedly saved his life.
AS savior of the leader Of the
expedition Cardenas was from then
on q favorite of Coronado. The Zu-
ms as result Of this action, sur
rendered to Cardenas.
The expedition discovered no
gold, no lost cities of Cibola, and
no passage to India. But on q wild
report Coronado sent Cardenas out
on a scouting and explanatory mis-
sion with twenty-five horsemea.
This small group, searching for .
river, finally found one, and in .
big way.
Cardenas and his group were the
first white men to look upon the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
AS the savior OF Coronado and
as the discoverer of the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, Cardenas
had well earned q meritorious
place IN our history.
The third episode, for which he
Is famous, clouded the bright lus-
tire gained by the other two. This
was the slaughter of Arenal.
Coronado sent Cardenas to sub
due this pueblo as a seat OF re-
bellion. The warriors shut them
selves up in the pueblo with their
women and children. They held out
the first day.
Cardenas then had holes cut into
the first floor walls of the pueblo,
where supplies had been stored,
and fires built therein. This smok-
ed out the defenders in the upper
stories and forced their surrender.

Defense Pact
SigniingSeen
BY SPENCER MoosA

TAIPEH, Formosa Up - Nego-
tiations for mutual defense pact
between the United States and
Nationalist China are in their fl
nal stages and official quarters
here appear confident it will be
signed by years end.
Nationalist China considers the
projected pact to be of immense
Importance because, officials say:
l. It win give permanence to the
US. commitment to defend For
mosa/ against Communist inva-
sion.
2. It more or less rules out any
prospect the United States might
recognize Red China or be a party
to any big power deal affecting
Formosa's future, such as the i'm
position of a trusteeship.
3. It will probably result in a
substantial increase of us. mill
tary aid to strengthen Chang Kai.
shek's armed forces.
4. 1t will tend to bolster the
Nationalist intention of regaining
the lost mainland.
S. 1t will establish a strong
'They shall not pass" line against
communism, and thus greatly en-
courage those Asiatics outside the
Bamboo Curtain.
FormoSa has been under the pro-
lection of the us. 7th Fleet since
June n, 1850 = right after the
outbreak of the Korean War. But
without a mutual defense pact. the
United States could, at any time
It chooses, withdraw that protec-
ton and leave the Nationalists to
their own devices.
Sources familiar with the nego-
tiations say the United States has
insisted that the scope of the pact
be limited to Formosa and the
strategic Pescadores, off the west
central coast of Formosa.

The surrender was accepted by
captains Lopez and Melgosa with q
promise of mercy.
But Cardenas, the commander,
had other ideas. He gathered the
two hundred prisoners together and
had two hundred stakes driven in
to the ground and fuel piles pre-
pared. He intended to burn all the
prisoners to death.
Defenseless, tied and bound,
these preparations were more than
the captured Indians could stand
and they suddenly tired to burst
to freedom.
One hundred were killed trying
to escape, seventy got away and
thirty were recaptured and burnt
to death. This was the terrible end
to Arenal, thanks to Cardenas.
Could it be that the other end
of our ferry line was named for
him? Let US hope it was named
to honor some one more deserving?
