The Ph,IIipine Islands Earthquake.
A special London dispatch says: The
earthquake in the PHILIPPINE Islands on
May lst affected in a terrible manner
the small island of Camiguin, five miles
from Misanus. For some months pre-
yiouslv, there was succession OF VIC
lent shocks, which opened extensive
creyices in the earth. Finally, on May
lst, the level plain near the village Of
Catarwin began gradually 20 subside,
until the tops Of houses became level
with the surface Of the earth. This
remarkable phenomenon attracted a
large number Of people, when suddenly
some terrific shocks were felt, and be,
fore the laundering vibrations had died
away the whole level plain fell IN, en-
sulphing one hundred and fifty persons.
The plain became the crater OF a vol
cano 1900 feet wide, and from smoke,
ashes and stones were thrown into the
air, A pause till dark succeeded, when
there was another explosion, and ram
of fire followed. The woods became
ignited, and men and cattle went flying
before the flames. The spectacle was
frightful in the extreme. The volcano
continues to eject stones and earth
Every inhabitant has left the island
which formerly contained a population
Of 26 600. Camiguin produced one-tenth
Of the whole MANILA hemp grown.
speech by Pope Plus IN.
A special from Rome SAYS: In an
important speech made by the Pope re-
Gently in the Academy, to a dCputat'on
bringing Peters pence he said The
Church invites her children to defend
her against ignorance and malice An
infalllbility does not include the power
to depose sovereigns. Popes, in former
times deposed and dispossessed kings,
not because of the infallibility of Popes,
which onlv touches the matters OF doc
trine but because by the authority then
recognized in Popes the disposition or
d;spossession was accepted as public;
law. Christian nations also accepted
the Pope in those days as the SuPreme
Judge. Coniounding the present win
the past. in this regard, is done in bad
faith or with desire to influence the
States against the Church. Comments
on the decisions of the Council ne re
garded as superfuous, the text OF those
decisions being sufficiently clear.
