He never wrote letter if he could

huddled it up into corner.

claimed.

remarked, for the leader of the National
list movement to entertain about the ma
tional color.

the arduous task of showing from manu-

other eulogists of the Irish race in this
country. Mr.. Griffin has not yet succeed

credit than they are entitled to in the
part they took during the revolution. He

going to marry the earl of Stanford for

A PROTEST
Entered by the Filipinos Against Certain
Religious Institutions In the Islands.

Entered by the Filipinos Against Certain
Religious Institutions in the Islands.
London, August 27.-The Philip
pine Islands committee in Europe mas
addressed letter to President Nc
Kinley regarding the appeals made
to him by high Roman Catholic &C.
clesiastics in America to protect the
religious orders in the island. The
expulsion of the friars, the committee
contends, is "a necessary antecedent
to moral sanitation" The letter
names particularly the Archbishop OF
Manila and the Bishops of Nueva Sa-
govia and Nueva Caseres, whose acts
of hostility against both natives and
Americans, and against the Jesuits
and other respected religious institu-
items are condemened by every one"
The committee urges President Nc
Kinley to aid the Filipanos to sup
press the immortality of the diaboli-
cal institutions fCstered by these
monks, and the letter concludes:
your name can never be associ-
ated with that Of the friars; and the
sense of right of the noble nation at
whose head you are placed will never
permit the ever victorious and hui
manitarian Stars and Stripes to pro-
tect them"
