L.  Palmer  (J.N.  Bartels Co., 1912). [33] The decree of Governor-General Weyler prohibiting the use of any surcharged stamp after August 1, 1889, was published on page 863 of the Gaceta de Manila for May 24, l889.  But on page, 43 of the Postal Issues of the Philippines by F.

Dr, James C. Perry, in an article on Philippine revenue stamps published in the American Journal of Philately for August, 1903, also gives August 20, 1898, as the date on which Spanish - Philippines revenue stamps bearing manuscript initials were first issued.
