SAYS 1T Is INFAMOUS.
archbishop IreIand's Denunciation of the
suggestion That American Catholics
Should Side With Spain.

Suggestion That American Catholics
should Side With Spain
Chicago, March 11-tNo true Amer
lcan Catholic will talk of espousing
the cause of Spain against that of this
country, because the former is Cath
oilc nation" said Archbishop Ireland,
IN an Interview here to-day. TO do
laat IS to set ones self down as trait
orously inclined to the teachings OF
MS religion. as well as the country
which it is his bounden duty to defend
against all enemies. both internal as
well as external"
The words of the archbishop were in
reply to a question as to what he
thought of the advice alleged to have
been given by Catholic priest in New
York State to the Pensioners. Arch
bishop Ireland, who was registered at
the Great Northern, was en- route to
his home in st. Paul. from Washing
ton, where he had been for several
days.
1t is an Infamous suggestion he
continued, and it would seem as if it
could only emanate from a bitter enc
my of the faith, for it is directly OPP
posed in every way to the spirit and
sNet~AiAiieo AL kdiuOllCSul
lie attention was also called to
suggestion which has been the subject
of some discussion TO the effect that
the Ropes sympathies in the pending
controversy with Spain were strongly
enlisted on the side of that nation be-
cause of his religious affiliations.
In so far as implying that the Pope
will use his offices to aid Spain as
against this country, the suggestion IS
RS infamous as the one first mention
ed. Whatever action he may take IN
this matter will be with the single
idea Of averting. if possible, war be-
tween two Christian nations. He looks
upon the possibility Of war between
this country and Spain with horror,
and as the yicegerent of God considers
t his bounden duty to help bring about
RI adjustment of the pending dlifl-
culties between the two nations. That
is the only way in which his influence
is or will be exerted.
Then, referring to the situation in
this country, the Archbishop said:
President Mckinley is proving him.
self prominently tie man for the
hour and occasion. His course
throughout the present painful and
trying crisis has been marked by
loftiness of purpose, a serenity and
dignity of conduct which has COM
manded the respect and admiration of
his most pronounced political enemies.
This was abundantly shown by the re-
markable and impressive action OF
Congress in unhestitatingly placing
the sweeping powers it did in his
hands. ! think every one has come to
repose the utmost confidence in his
wisdom and ability to meet whatever
exigencies may arise in connection
with the present unfortunate sltua-
ton"
