NO SERIOUS
DIFFICULTIES

Washington. Aug. 23.--Among those
occupying high official positions with
the Catholic church 1t Ii said that the
amalgamation Of the Catholic COM
munities. Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish colonies, presents no serious
difficulty. The first requisite. IT -
pointed out, is to terminate the con-
cordat by which Spain and the Vatican
Jointly conduct the church administra-
ton of these colonies. The concordat
is a formal agreement, somewhat like
a treaty. by which the Spanish gov
ernment and the Vatican carry on re-
lations OF mutual advantage. Under
the concordat the Spanish governments
names the bishops to be appointed IN
the Spanish colonies, and these Names
being sent to Rome, are formally ap-
pointed by the pontin. With tnis Ter
mination of Spanish sovereignty IN Gu
ba. Porto Rico and the Antilles. TINS
provision for the Spanish nomination OF
bishops becomes imperative, and some
system must take it's place. For the
present, ii is said, the change Will oc-
casion no violent upheaval among the
bishops and clergy or these colonies
They will be left In their places, ana
the change of system will be inau-
gurated gradually as those now IN ser
Vice drop off and are succeeded. The
new system will probably be that un-
der which bishops are chosen IN the
United States, there being no state par
ticipation. but merely Il choice by the
established Catholic authorities where
in a change occurs. this choice being
referred to Rome for formal appoint
ment.
1t is understood that the hierarchy OF
Porto Rico will at once become at
tached to the American churcn. uut
there Is some question as to the status
of the church in Cuba, owing TO the
doubt as to the exact form Of the civil
administration OF the island. While
not annexed TO the United States, the
church in Cuba may not be Attached
to the American hierarchy. although ts
administration Is likely to be superviseo
from, here 81

Seven Bodies Recovered.
Others Buried Under Rock.

hauling out the dirt from the tunnel.
A blast had been set off about an hour
before. The men were preparing to pull
down the west wall of the tunnel, had
fixed rope for this purpose, and were
preparing to drill some holes In 1t for
blasting. Suddenly the wall fell over
on them.
Every man standing at that end OF
the excavation was buried alive. The
other workmen at once began the work
of rescue. Felix Mills was one of the
first taken out. He was still living and
was sent to his home in Glendale. He
died there about three hours later. The
unknown colored man was next reached.
A special train brought him to the
West Pennsylvania hospital at once but
it is thought he will die.
The bodies We're recovered rapidly
after that. Seven of the men were
taken out dead. The others yet unac-
counted for are supposed TO be under a
great pile of rock at the eastern end OF
the tunnel. Most of the men employed
on the work are Italians. They go by
numbers instead of names. and nothing
is known of their family relations.
Their fellow workmen were too busy
this morning seeking for more dead to
identify any Of the bodies.
