A>oME, Oct. 22.-Interviews with emf
nent cardinals confirm the accuracy of
tke statements cabled few days ago
regarding the feeling at the Vatican,
touching the demonstration of French
pilgrims at the Pantheon. In a talk
with the Associated Press correspond
ent, one OF the cardinals who is close to
the pope said Investigations made prove
that the disorder of October I'd was pre-
pared and arranged in advance Ey the
Italian government against the radical
republican demonstration at Nice and
against the pope. Under-Secretary of
State Telucea and NJ. Garibaldi, he as
serted arranged the conspiracy. The
triple alliance was informed of
it and approved of it as a reply to the
fetes at Nice, and as direct attack upon
the pope and the pilgrims. 1t was
desired 10 make affirmations of mon
archical right against the French
republic and against the statu quo
Of Rome. The italian government
sent to all mayors a circular letter in
order to add weight to the manifesto.
The correspondent asked why go large
apart of the monarchical and liberal
world favor outrages upon French
pilgrims, and the cardinal replied that
the government wished to give to the
world the impression that Rome is op-
posed to the pope, and that Italy will
not have any reconciliation with France
or any amicable understanding between
the Vatican and the French republic.
The denomination was the result of the
republican and democratic policy
of the pope. "Since the famous toast
OF Cardinal Lavigerie," said he, land
the demonstrations at Cronstadt, all our
official world, monarchical, liberal and
sectarian, has been living in a state of
trouble. 1t felt its edifce, so laboriously
erected, cracking and threatening ruin
to all its hopes. All its illusions were
vanishing, and then came the scandals
of October I'd. Leo perfectly under
stood the meaning it was intended to
convey to him, and told what is well
known when he announced: i am no
longer prisoner. / am hostage. |
am threatened with exile and assassina-
ton. l will not capitulate before the
enemy
"Oficial Italy, said the cardinal,
"desires to sequestrate him to restrict
his liberty, and declares by these dem
onstrations that if the pope does not
yield he will be killed or driven from
Rome. Everybody regrets the Pan
theon incident, but no one has the cour-
sge to brave the anger of the govern
ment."
"What will the pope do eventually?"
asked the correspondent.
81 do not yet KNOW" said the cardi-
nal. "He has caused a diplomatic note
to be sent to the papal nuncios, touch
ing directly upon the real significance of
the demonstration. He will wait for the
public mind to be fixed upon the origin
and character of the liberal manifesto
tions. When this work of preparation
is accomplished, he will act"
Che cardinal further said nothing is
yet decided as to the pope leaving
Rome, but that everythingis is in readiness
for such step. At any rate the relations
between Italy and the pope will be seri-
ously modified. Leo is aware of the
secret Vaccinations of the triple alli-
ance, and win act in consonance. Be-
ing asked about the next conclave,
the cardinal said they have been dread
ing an exodus, but that recent events
have caused long step in the direction
of the idea of holding the conclave
abroad. They had thought only in case
of war to seek for pope abroad, but
events have enlightened them as to the
last design of the italian revolution.
