There is also a record of her burial in the cathedral archives as

 Dona Maria Ana de Cosio, wife of General Don Francisco Carriedo, was

 also buried in the Jesuit church. Before his death '^ he had

 of the parish. When the waterworks were opened. La Oceania Espaiiola 

 discovered a legitimate son of Carriedo named Lucas, an ancestor by 

 marriage of the Count of Lizarraga, then living in Manila. Investigation 

 in the Cathedral archives reveals no trace of his existence. Moreover, Ca- 

 rriedo is sufficiently explicit in a statement attached to his will. "During 

 my marriage, no child, son or daughter, was born to me." La Oceania Es-

" In 1906, the authorities of the military Medical Supply Depot on Calle 

 Concepcion discovered the common gravestone of Doiia Mariana de Ca- 

 rriedo and her mother, which was being used as a footstone. When the 

 Jesuits were expelled from the Philippines in 1769, the gravestone was 

 removed to a cemetery on Calle Concepcion. This afterwards became 

 the headquarters of the Spanish engineer corps. Traces of the cemetery 

 may still be seen in the grounds of the Medical Supply Depot. The stone 

 may now be seen in the sala of the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, a school 

 for boys on Calle Arzobispo, conducted by the Jesuits. The inscription 

 on the stone, which is remarkably clear-cut, may be translated as follows: 

 Here lies Doiia Mariana Cosio, daughter of the most illustrious the 

 Marquis and Marchioness of Torre Campo, governing these Islands, and 

 wife of General Francisco de Carriedo y Peredo. She died on March 17, 

 1729, being twenty-two years of age. Here also lies her mother, the 

 most illustrious Doiia Maria, Countess of Miranda, Marchioness of Torre 

 Campo, who died on -November 19, 1729. 



" There is no trace of the exact spot where he was buried, and the 

 committee, appointed in 1885 to dig up the floor of the ruined church 

 of the Jesuits in the hope of discovering his remains, had to report 

 failure. Actas del Cabildo de Carriedo (hereafter quoted as "Actas 

 de Carriedo") (Aug. 17, 19, 1885).
