Some historians and chronologists say that Dr. Antonio de Morga acted as governor _ad interim_ from his entrance into Manila, June 11, 1595, until Tello's arrival July 14, 1596, but he merely fulfilled the duties of his office of lieutenant-governor. In his letters after his arrival, and in his book, he distinctly states that Luis Perez Dasmariñas was governor. Tello says in a letter of July 17, 1596 (see _Vol_. IX, pp. 274-277), "In respect to the person of Don Luys Perez Dasmariñas, whom I found acting as governor." Consequently Morga is given no place in this list.
