OF the American order of the Sacred
Heart have. according to a dispatch from
Pinar del Rio. been ordered away from
Cuba by Archbishop Chapelle. the Papal
representative recently appointed to in
vestigate the affairs Of the Catholic
Church in that island.
The news was received by cable In this
city by General James r. OBelrne. OF
New York. who is registered at the Hotel
Renncrt. The message came from Rev.
j. NJ. craft, an Indian missionary priest
who founded the American order Of the
Sisters. and went TO Cuba last November
with the five nuns, who are all the daugh-
ters of Indian chiefs.
The cablegram. which came in Latin,
was thus translated by General O'Beirne:
