PHILIPPINE REDELLIoN.
Mgr. Mnrfinclli Thinks the Church
Would Prefer SnnniNh Rulc.


New York January IA special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
papal delegate. Archbishop Martinelli has
received discouraging ncws from his
vicar general. Rodriguez, in Rome, re-
sarding the rebellion in the Philippine ISL
ends, In an interview last night, Mgr.
Martinelli discussed the situation in both
the Philippine islands aud in Cuba with
considerable freedom.
"Our order is very strong there" said
the archbishop, "and we have several
bishops and 1888 priests scattered all
through the province. It was too much to
expect that all of them had escaped and
the news received is very bad have two
letters from my vicar general ard he In =
forms me that five priests in parishes alb out
Manila have been carried Off by the rob-
els and no news whatever has been re-
ceved from them.
In the absence Of information we be-
lieve that they are dead. The rebellion Iii
the Philippines is likely to prove a most
horrible affair, as the natives are only
semi-civilizod. Spain too, is handicapped
to some extent by the fact that she main
tains on the island only a scattered army
| of about 1000 men. Spain will have a dlfn
cult task TO subdue the half barbarous
people of the Philippines"

the rebellion Is growing rapidly to a close
and that 1t Will probably be ended by the
