NO COMPLAINT TO MAKE.
CARDINAL GTBBOHS'S INTERpIEW
NTH PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.

He Assured tho President Tint tho Church
Had Every Henson to Bc Satisfied with
ItS Treatment in the Philippines nt tho
Hands Of the American Soldicry.
WAsuINGToS. Sept. 2l.-The interview be-
tween President Mckinley and Cardinal Glib
bons at tho White House yesterday was OF II
character that has proved very pleasing TO the
Administration. 1t came out to-day that tho
President was very much Eratined. aud with
good reason, over what was told him by the
Cardinal in regard to tho position Of the
Catholic Church in tho Philippine insur-
rcction. Instead OF making any complaint
against Ill treatment Of priests and the
alleged Decoration Of Catholic churches in the
islands by American soldiers. the Cardinal
told the President that he had come % his own
free will as tho representative Of the Church
In America. to assure the President that tho
Church had no complaint to make. On tho con-
trary. the Cardinal assured MIR. Mckinley that
the Church had every reason to be satisfied
with the treatment its edihces and other prop
critics in the Philippines had received at the
hands OF the American sodiery. lie said. also.
according to reliable informant. that the PER-
sons who had protested against the alleged
Dissertation Of religious ediflces did not repre-
sent the Church. and no had come to the PresI-
dent to say that such complaints we're entirely
unauthorized and were wholly misleading as
to the attitude Of the Church. which had no
complaint to make.
1t is asserted that the Cardinal told the Presi-
dent that tho Church realized that in time OF
war there was bound to be use made OF houses
OF worship for military purposes. such as
hospitals. barracks and headduarters. but that
this could not be called desecratton. particu-
larry as the Filipino insurgents had dono more
things OF that character than had the Amer-
w ,a
such uses. There is also authority for the
statement that the Cardinal assured the Prcsi-
dent that the Catholic Church could not regard
the work OF few laviessly inclined American
soldiers in despoing its religious ediices. as
acts for which the United States Government
was responsible. and that the Church was con
fdent that the military authorities in tho
Philippines were doing everything to prevent
Dissertation OF that character.
