Merritt says that the situation has been

the American conditions.
At the outset Aguinalio made eight de.

CHURCH PLANS.
First Step in Cuba and Porto Rice
will be to End the Spanish
COnCOrdat.

Washington, T.. c.. Aug. 23.-Among
those occupying high official positions
with the Catholic church, il is said that
the amalsamation Of the Catholic com
munities of Cuba. Porto Rico and other
Spanish colonies. presents no serious diff
fcultics. The first requisite. ii is pointed
out, is to terminate the Concordat by
which Spain and the Vatican jointly CON
duct the church administration of these
colonies. The cunrordat is formal
agreement, somewhat like treaty. by
which the Spanish government and the
vatican carry on relations of mutual ad-
vantage. Under the Coucordat the Span
lsh government names the bishops to be
appointed in the Spanish colonies. and
these names. being sent to Rome. are
formally appointed by the pontitf. With
the termination of Spanish sovereignty
III Cuba, Porto Rico and the Antilles
TINS provision for the Spanish nomination
OF bishops becomes imperative and sHme
system must take It's place. For the
VIII cause no violent uphcaEal
among the bishops aud clergy of thcS"
colonies They will be left in their places
and the change of system VII he inlugu-
rated gradually rs those now III service
drop off and are succeeded. The new
system will probably bc that under which
bishops are chosen in the United States.
there being no state participation. hut
merely a choice by the established tatho-
lie authorities, wherein change occurs,
this choice being referred to Rome fer
formal appointment.
1t is understood that the hierarchy Of
Porto Rico Will at once become attached
to the American church. but there is -u.rP
question aS to the status of the church IN
Cuba owing TO the doubt as 10 the exact
form of the civil administration # the
island. While not annexed to the United
States. the church in cuba may not he at
tachcd to- the American hicrar'Ey. al
though its administration is likely T. be
supervised from here.
