The agricultural department had rec
commended that none but inspected

at those places was treated chemically
If inspectors were aware OF such
treatment taking place, reports would
have been made. The packing houses,
however, were very large buildings

arises from the scarcity of competent

Of things, for the present, but little

Rel, y,on Not = serious Consideration.
With regard to religious questions,
Cant. Gardner says it does not appear
that the inhabitants of the island have
ever taken their religion with any de-
eree of seriousness, probably owing
10 the fact that the church is regarded
ns one of the means by which Spain
undertook to maintain her sovereignty
an the island and to provide for the
maintenance of such of her clergy as
could not be supported at home. Al
together the clerical establishment
maintains about 240 priests and as
sistnuts. the sum total of whose sal
aries amounts to about 100000 pesos
annually.
| A Priesthood without Salaries
Since the invasion of American
troops the salaries of all these priests
which have heretofore been paid by
the state, have been cut off, state o
affairs which seems to be viewed witt
perfect equanimity by all except TN
priesthood itself.
Roman Catholicism has bette
chance in the island in view OF tn
condition of the native mind than an,
oher form of religion.
