Pueblo Indians in modern New Mexico under Popé rose against Spanish rule, killing many settlers and missionaries before launching a large-scale attack on Santa Fé. The Indians were driven off in successive assaults, though Governor Antonio de Otermin withdrew to El Paso, losing about 400 killed. Popé died in 1690 and by 1692 Don Diego de Vargas had retaken Santa Fé.
