Notes
[edit]- ↑ Existing records do not specifically state the dates of Perez's tenure, and it is therefore unclear which governor-general appointed him, as five served in 1898: Fernando Primo de Rivera, Basilio Augustín, Fermín Jáudenes (acting), Francisco Rizzo (acting), and Diego de los Ríos (acting).
