Note:
Aside from the statement of Roxas Y Cia regarding the support of the Nasugbu Fil-American Irregular Troops, the organization had another source of support, that is, from Major Jose Samaniego, Regimental S-4. Copy of his statement could not be filed with the papers herein for the reason that the same was misplaced. Reference may, however, be made to the papers that this organization has filed with the Secretary of the National Defense, Malacañan Palace, regarding the said statement of Major Samaniego of the material support that he gave to the organization.
