Legal Opinion on Guatemala's Territorial Claim to Belize The President was reminded that his duties concerned the settlements of Rio Tinto and Laguna Azul, under the jurisdiction of Guatemala, and not those of the eastern coast of Yucatán that depended upon the Governor of Campeche. In 1798 Field-Marshal Arthur O'Neill, Governor of Yucatán, launched the last major attack on the settlements but was defeated in the battle of St. George's Key on 16 September 1798. The Governor of Yucatán even went so far in 1803 as to contend that Britain was bound to surrender completely its settlement in Belize. www.belize.gov.bz /features/belize_guate/appendices2.html

Letter from Mexico: Gods of Yucatan Many works of sacred art were destroyed or were sent by Yucatecans to the United States in exchange for munitions. Secular, as opposed to monastic, clergy, culled from the families of the Yucatán elite, were taking over many of the old mission churches like the one at Maní and embellishing them or building new ones in a more ornate style. During the Caste War of the nineteenth century--in which the indigenous population rose up against the white and mestizo ruling class, or Yucatecans, to stage the hemisphere's most successful native rebellion--some churches served as places of refuge from the Maya onslaught, and were sacked and burned. www.archaeology.org /0301/abstracts/letter.html   (440 words)
