Narrator: Nearby a tale containing newspapers, manuscripts, medals and other historical
documents could be seen. These would be seen. These would be enclosed in a leadencylinder and placed in the holes of the opposite stones to be preserved for posterity. After
the historical records had been placed inside the leaden cylinder, the alcalde approached
Ibarra
Alcalde: Senor Ibarra, now its your turn to place this cylinder in the pit
Ibarra: I consider it a great honor. But I do believe that the honor goes to the escribano
Alcalde: Among all those present, you have as much right to do the honor, Senor Ibarra.
This project would not have materialized had it not been for your industry anddetermination!

of money. . . FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS! But I cannot go again st the will of Padre
Damaso!
Maria Clara: Why father? Why is it that you cannot disobey Padre Damaso?
Kapitan Tiyago: Because he threatens with excommunication. . . and my life and soul
maybe damned forever!
