WILL BE EASILY ADJUSTED
in Cuba and Puerto Rico to lie
Adjusted to New Conditions.

Among those occupying high official
position with the Catholic church it is
said that the amalgamation of the
Catholic communities of Cuba, Puerto
Rico and other Spanish colonies pre-
sents no serious difficulties. The first
requisite, it is pointed out, is to termi-
nate the concordat by which Spain and
the vatican jointly conduct the church
administrati on Of these colonies. The
concordat is formal agreement,
somewhat like treaty, by which the
Spanish government and the vatican
carry on relations of mutual advan-
tage. Under the concordat the Span
ish government names the bishops TO
be appointed in the Spanish colonies,
and these names, being sent TO Rome,
are formally appointed by the pontiff.
With the termination Of Spanish SOW
ereignty in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the
Antilles, this provision for the Spanish
nomination of bishops becomes in
its place. For the present, ii is said
that the change will cause no violSnt
upheaval among the bishops and clergy
of tlrese colonies. They will be left in
their places and the change of system
will be inaugurated gradually as those
now in service drop off and are sue
ceeded. The new system will probably
he that under which bishops are chosen
in the United States
