RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN SPAIN.


In the English House of Commons, on the Goth
july Mr. Banes asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs IL it was true that Julian de Vargas Spanish
schoomaster at Malaga had been imprisoned in feons
prison since the 18th OF March, and under prose
cutOn by the Fiscal, who demanded sentence OF IT
months imprisonment for having in his house Spanish
Bible and Testament and few French Protestant books

Lord Stanley said he believed the facts or the case
were that man named Vargas, schoomaster at MA
laga had been in prison weeks, ana was NJ present
under prosecution, but there some discrepancy IN
the various statements which had reached him as to the

the charge not for having protestant BOOKS III ms

10 have taught Protestant dOcrne ana tho lact OF ms
having these books in his possession brought forward
in support OF the charge. Tho proceedings instituted
were by the local authorities and not by the Spanish
Government. This was very delicate matter Ter
Her Majestys Government to NEEDLE with, because, as
the man Spanish subject, they had 10 authority
whatever to interfere. Any communication between the
governments must be of the most friendly character
and even that they had guard most carefully
against the appearance Of wishing to dictate TO inc
Spanish Government. The only ground upon which dip
lOmatc action could be founded In case OF this KIND
that such proceedings tended to create good deal
OF excitement among Protestant communities when
