mestizos, friars or priests were attacked. Other Spaniards survived hidden in the forests. The same day Spanish captains Juan de Aguilar and Diego Telles de Barrientos began to crush the rebellion. They subsequently fought in different places of Chiloé for eight days. Also on 10 February a Spanish militia began to kill Huilliches and were stopped only by the intervention of Jesuits. Following the crushing of the rebellion a small group of Huilliches departed to the Guaitecas Archipelago to avoid harsh Spanish reprisals. Other insurgents sought refuge from the Spanish reprisal with Father Manuel del Hoyo in the Mission of Nahuel Huapi across the Andes. Aftermath José Marín de Velasco, the Royal Governor of Chiloé, was suspended from his duties after the rebellion. However, he later obtained the approval of the King of Spain and returned to rule Chiloé in 1715, aiming to put the encomienda system under the rule of law. Indigenous complaints to the Spanish authorities increased after the rebellion. The encomienda system was abolished in 1782 in Chiloé, in the rest of Chile in 1789, and in the whole Spanish Empire in 1791.
