CATHOLICS STIRRED.
Presence Of Archbishop Chapcile III
Manila Causes Excitement.

MANILA, Jan. 17-5:15 A. M.-The pres
ence here of Archbishop Chapelle. the
arch-Apostolic delegate to the Philip
pines, is greatly stirring the Catholics
of all nationalities. The Filipinos have
gained the impression that MSr. Chap
ellie came as the joint agent OF President
Mckinley and the Pope to reinstate the
F-iars in their former power. One
cause for the excitement is statement
which the Dominicans spread in the
Spanish press, that the archbishop told
them that he favored the retention OF
the Brotherhocds, and that President Nc,
Kinley shared his views, which were that
if the Friars returned to their parishes
they would be considered elements OF
good order, and. therefore, American
agents.
archbishop Chapelle denies the accuracy
of these statements, and Catholics of
all sections are petitioning Mgr. Chapelle
and Major-General Otis against Friars
returning to the parishes, repeating the
charges of expressions, eXtort1ons and
immortality which it is asserted caused
the Instruction of 1896. The Catholics re-
quest that they be given priests not con-
nected with the Brotherhoods.
Delegations are Visiting the Provincial
Governors for the purpose of making the
same request.
The people say the Friars will be driven
out If they return to their parishes, and
there will be continual trouble if the
administration attempts to protect them.
To quell the excitement Major-General
Otis consented to give to the local papers
a statement which he had made to Il
delegations:
IF the Church authorities assign Friars
to curacies who are obnoxious to the
people they will not be compelled to
accept them. The individual liberty
guaranteed by the American Constitution
will not be denied the Fiipinos. and the
government will mot force upon them
any ecclesiastic contrary to their
wishes
