causes of the insurrection of 1872. Craig, p. 80.

[5] Born 1792, died 1872. He was once governor of Hong-Kong.
[6] Craig, p. 88.
[7] The ease with which false accusations could be manufactured, as
Rizal showed afterward in his novels, was a valid asset in Spanish
supremacy.
[8] Rizal, in his “Boyhood Story,” merely says her innocence was shown
and she was released. It was Dr. Craig that, investigating the facts on
the spot, came upon the incident of the dance and the pardon. At the
time Rizal could hardly have published it.

[30] The Jesuits were not one of the four orders that figure so
conspicuously in this story. They had been banished from the
Philippines as from Spain in 1767, and all their insular property,
valued at 3,320,000 pesos, was confiscated by the Government. In 1852
another royal decree allowed them to return, but they never regained
their former prominence and power.
