Bitter Letter of the London
Committee to President
Mckinley.

LONDON, Aug. 27, fS98.-The Philippine
Islands Committee in Europe has ad-
dressed a letter to President Mckinley
regarding the appeals made to him by
high Roman Catholic ecclesiastics in
America to protect the religious orders
In the islands.
The expulsion of the Friars, the COM
mittee contends, is "a necessary ante
cedent to moral sanitation The letter
names particularly the Archbishop of
Manila and the Bishops of Nueva Segovia
and Nueva Caseres, whose acts of hos
tility against both natives and Americans
and against the Jesuits and other re-
spected religious institutions are con-
demned by everyone.
The committee urges President McKin-
ley to aid the Filipinos to suppress the
immortality of the diabolcal institutions
fostered by these monks and the letter
concludes as follows
''Your name can never be associated
with that of these Friars, and the sense
of right of the noble nation at whose
head you are placed will never permit
the ever victorious and humanitarian
Stars and Stripes to protect them"
