Detailed explanation-1: -Above this “real” frontier, which closely approximated the present international boundary between the United States and Mexico, Rubí advised that only San Antonio and Santa Fe be maintained, and he urged the complete abandonment of East Texas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rubí reported that Spain did not have the wealth, power, or people necessary to hold such a huge, remote region. o Several hundred settlers around Los Adaes, including Tejanos did not want to leave E. TX. 1785: Spanish signed a peace treaty with the Comanches that lasted for about 30 years.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rubí suggested that Spain abandon all its missions in Texas except those at San Antonio and Goliad (La Bahía).
Detailed explanation-4: -His report had a great effect on Texas. Rubí recommended that all Spanish settlements in East Texas be moved to San Antonio. The French were no longer a threat, so the settlements were no longer needed. These settlements were not Spain’s only weak points in Texas, in Rubí’s eyes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: Marqués de Rubí meant that there was a limit of land Spain had the strength it could manage, rather than the expense it could be flourishing ruling, instead of it dropping apart. Marqués de Rubí also determined that the purpose settlers were too far away and should merge into two mission settlements.
