Enc ropes CtaIMs ON the spanish Gov
eminent.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The Madrid correspon-
dent of the FINES summarizes the circular of
the papal Nuncio to the Bishop as follows:
The Nunco claims the fulflment of the con-
cordat, which forbids the exercise of any non
Catholic creed, requires the transfer Of the SUI
perintendence of education to the clergy, and
pledges the cooperation of the secular power
in suppressing heretical teaching and literature.
He says one of the causes of civil war is the
way in which religious unity has been misun-
derstood by previous governments. For these
reasons and in view of these consequences, the
Holy See believes itself strictly obliged to pre-
sent these observations to the government.
The Times correspondent adds:
No doubt the presentation of this audaeious
claim at time when liberal cabinet has just
been installed, implies that if the government
reject it, the blessing of the church will be de-
finitely transferred to Don Carlos, and peace
retarded in every possible way.

KRAGUJEwATz, Servia, Sept 16-The dis.
cusslon in the committee of the Skuptochina
on the address in reply to Prince Mlan's speech
has commenced. and will probably last till Sat
urday. The members of the minority who are
in favor of war it is believed have won over
several members in the debate already had in
committee. Attempts TO secure compromise
before submitting draft of the address to the
Skuptochina are still earnestly pushed, but it
is feared the party OF action will be victorious,
especially as the population is becoming more
urgent for war. The ministry will oppose war
even if the committee reports in favor of it, to
the length of resignation. The peace party is
less hopeful, but has not yet abandoned its
effort. The Belgrade papers say the Turks
have again vi plated the Servian territory The
