X–290. Considerable number of American nationals and families of Embassy employees are now in the Embassy and every effort is being made to bring all who wish to come. Estimated possibly 150 persons all told may seek refuge here. We have food for that number for about 3 weeks. At present 92 native continental Americans, of whom 34 are of Spanish parentage, are registered at the Consulate; 9 naturalized American citizens; 35 Puerto Rican and 30 Philippine citizens.
