might reasonably conclude that radical
and heterodox opinions were more wide

secondly, that 1t was by fostsriug the
anti Catholic lsanings Of the Tilipinos
that the spanish officials In the islands

them and kept them aliva
"Whea 1 recalled that gulls' wings are
fashionable, that hats are generally
trimmed high on the left side. and point
