y MANILA, Jan. 8. :45 p. m. Arch
bishop Chapp the papal delegate to.
the Philippines arrived here on the
United States transport Sherman,
which sailed from San Francisco, Dec
9. He will lodge in the house formerly
occupied by Charles DENLY, Of the Phil
5ippine advisory commission. This ac-
ton on the part Of Mgr. Chappelle set
ties the contest between the various
friar broth therhoods in Manila, who, sop
arately, have been using their influence
to obtain the privilege of entertaining
the arch hbishop and the Rev. Father
McKinnon, late Of the Calf fornia volun-
teers, and now q regular army chap
lain, who was also passenger
on the Sherman. It is said
that the friars are striving to
secure Mgr. Chapel ear for the pur-
pose Of securing better protection for
individua interests. The arrival Of the
papal delegate directs attention to the
question Of the church and the broth
erhoods in the Philippines, including
the matter Of deciding the brother
hoods claims to real estate and other
property of the church receiving state
support, and the re-establ blishment Of
Spanish curates in native parishes. BY
the appoint ntsof NJ gr. Chappelle as
Arch bishop Nozalede's successor, the
Filipinos and Spaniards feel that steps
will be taken in these momentous mat
ters, which may bring .ssS ss
RI Infinite Good or Evil to tho Islands.
Consequently Mgr Chappelle's ac-
tions will be closely watched and fully
discussed. All classes Of the brother
hoods are anxious to send representa-
lives to the parishes IN the provinces
recently occupied by the Americans.
This matter will soon be brought to
Mgr. Chappelle's attention and his aid
in this connection will be solicited. In
asmnch as the question of the expulsion
of the brotherh foods from the islands
and the freedom of the people from the
alleged injustice of mem bers Of the or
ders has always been declared to be the
principal cause OF the revolt of the Fill
pinos against SPANS sovereignty, long
time residents of the island declare
5 that if the friars are returned to their
former parishes, the natives, seeing
them return under American admins
Stration, will surely attack and kill
them and otherwise cause disorder.
