letter be not intended. as preceding
ones, ito repeat the words Of praise so
often spoken, but rather to call att9n-
tion to some things to be avoided and

Life of Hecker.
1t is known to you, beloved son, that
the life of Isaac Thomas Hecker, espe-
cially as interpreted and translated in
a foreign language, has excited not
little controversy, because therein have
been voiced certain opinion concerning
the way of leading a Christian life. We,
therefore on account of our apostolic
office, having to guard the integrity of
the faith and the security OF the faith
full, are desirOus of writing ito you more
at length concerning this whole matter.
The underlying principle of these new
opinions is that in order to more easily
attract those who differ from her, the
in accord with the spirit of the age and
relax some of her ancient severity and
make some concessions to new opinions.
Many think that these concessions
should be made not only in regard 10
ways of living, but even in regard to
doctrines which belong to the deposit
of the faith. They contend that it
would be opportune, in order to gain
those who differ from us, to omit GER
tain points of her teaching which are
of lesser Importance and to tone down
the meaning which the church has al
ways attached to them. 1t does not need
many words, beloved son. to prove the
falsity of these ideas if the nature and
origin of the doctrine which the church
proposes are recalled to mind. The Vati-
can council says concerning this point:
For the doctrine of faith which God
has revealed has not been proposed
like philosophical invention, to be per
fected by human ingenuity, but has
been delivered as a divine deposit 10
the spouse Of Christ to be faithfully
kept and infallibly declared. Hence,

Insurgents Driven Back.

Mantle, Feb. %, sos p. m.-With day
light this morning the enemy COM
menced worrying tactics at various
parts of the American line, apparently
for the purpose of withdrawing atten-
tion from affairs in the city. An attempt
was made to rush through our extreme
left near Caloocan, but it was promptly
checked by hot and effective musketry
and artillery fire. In the meantime
small bodies of rebels. evidently some
of those engaged last night in the cow
ardly work at Tondo, spread out be-
tween the city and the outposts. Every
available man was sent to drive them
away, with the result that there was de-
sultory firing all the morning.

hurting 10-inch shells over the American
lines into the bodies of the enemy, as
indicated by the signal corps. So FAR
our casualties are one man killed and
10 men wounded. At II o'clock there
were sharp engagements at the Chinese
cemetery and at San Pedro Macatti al
most simultaneously, but the artillery
fire from both positions drove the enemy
back.
From the high towers Of the city fires
can be seen burning at different points
outside. Some of these are probably
due to the Monadnock's shells. 1t is
currently reported that the natives have
threatened to burn Escolata and the
walled city tonight. Scores of rebels
have been arrested in the Tondo dis
trict. A band of go rebels. having two
carloads of arms and accoutrements,
was captured in a house. Business is
temporarily suspended.
