Mayoral term In 1701 the Rebellion of San German took place. The Rebellion was a conflict between the Captaincy General of Puerto Rico and the residents of San Germán, Coamo, Ponce, Aguada and other poblados in the western region of Puerto Rico that, at the time, were politically dependent on San Germán. The rebellion arose as a result of the governor ordering Juan Torres Figueroa, sargento mayor of Ponce at the time, to ready 100 men to march to San Juan should it be necessary during a crisis.Francisco Lluch Mora. Orígenes y Fundación de Ponce. San Juan, Puerto Rico: Editorial Plaza Mayor. Second Edition. 2006. p. 51.
