(Dr William Thornton arrived some hours after Washington died.); In Santa Fe Governor Manuel Armijo wanted to avoid battle but on August 9 Catholic priests Diego Archuleta (the young regular-army commander) and the young militia officers Manuel Chaves and Miguel Pino forced him to muster a defense. Armijo set up a position in Apache Canyon a narrow pass about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the city. However on August 14 before the American army was even in view he decided not to fight (An American named James Magoffin claimed he had convinced Armijo and Archuleta to follow this course; an unverified story says he bribed Armijo.) When Pino Chaves and some of the militiamen insisted on fighting Armijo ordered the cannon pointed at them the New Mexican army retreated to Santa Fe and Armijo fled to Chihuahua.
