ARRESTS II RoME-The Pail Mall Gazette
says IA startling event has followed close
on the heel of the great demonstration OF Epis-
eopal concert IN the arrest, without assigned
reason, and in the depth OF night, in ssneir
chief cons pirators-Father Gigli, and his
deputy, Father Carnelli. Both are Domini
cans, and to them is intrusted the delicate duty
OF censorship over all publications. Father
Glgli himself Is still in his residence, though
cut off from holding any intercourse; but his
deputy, stripped Of his monks robe, has been
carried to the prison belonging to the holy
Office. No explanation has been given of this
most astounding occurrence. but it is under
stood that the charge brought against these
high dignitaries implies reasonable connivance
in prin ted attacks on the Pope.
