THE POPE DEEPLY CONCERNED
SPECIAL AUDIENCE ACCORDED THE
CHAPLAIN OF THE OLYMPIA.
of the Philippines and is Anxious
that the War he Ended.

New York, August 2s.-A dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Rome
says: His Holiness, the pope. is deeply
concerned about the war in the Philip
pines He has communicated his anxiety
to the Rev. Father Reamy. chaplain of
the Olympia.
In the plalnest possible terms Leo ex-
pressed strong desire to see peace estab-
lished between the United States and the
natives and said he concentrated the
opening ef negotiations with the United
States government with a view TO regu-
lating the position OF Catholics in the
Philippines.
I'VE have firm hope" he said, that
the Philippines will again acquire pros
perity under the protection of the United
States"
All this was in the course OF special
audience accorded to the chaplain of Dew
ey's flagship. There is little doubt that
the comforting of this unusual honor upon
Father Reamy was prompted by the
pontif's desire to inquire closely into
the affairs OF the Philippines from one
who had enjoyed such good opportunity
for observing the situation and who could
enlighten him from an American and
Catholic point of view, In heartfelt terms
he expressed his horror at the bloodshed
that had occurred and dilated upon the
Importance of making every endeavor TO
bring it to an end. He took it for granted
that when peace was concluded the United
States would establish a benehcent rule
under which the Philippines would quick
ly reach condition OF happiness and
prosperity.
His Holiness asked many questions
about Admiral Dewey, his personality,
his opinions and inquired sympathetically
about the state of his health. AT the
conclusion OF the interview he gave Faith
or Reamy an autograph letter for delivery
TO the admiral and made the priest the
bearer OF his benedietion TO the crew of
the OLYMPIA.
