Governor-Genesal Wood, of Cuba, in an
interview, expresses the belief that The
property rights in Cuba, as between pri-
vate ownership and the Eomln Catholic
Church, will be settled without either de-
lay or difficulty. He speaks in the high
est terms of Judges Diverga, Ta:mayo and
Llorente, appointed ny him just before
sailing for the United states, to look into
the question Of titles to property claimed
by Bishop Sharetta, and says tho Catholic
authorities in Havana show every diepo-
sition to be fair in all matters. In some
parts of the island other than Havana
church authorities have given trouble. but
on the whole Catholics ire acquiring
American ideas of judicial and 1elibera-
tive procedure with quite as much facility
as could be expected. Property rights in
Manila may cause trouble, but not, Cen
eral Wood thinks, in Cuba.
Sisters of Notre DANE, in charge OF
Trinity College, now nearly completed In
Washington, deny with emphasis the pub
lished report that the college is affiliat-
ed with the Catholic University. Trinity
College is near the University. and IS

of instruction that is partly the once uni

CKEED REVISION.
Greed revision discussion among Presby-
terians mas now progressed far enough
to make it certain that the creed will be
revised, or That a new creed will be for
mulated. The matter has gone too far to
be dropped. It is said that the Rev. DR..
John De Witt will be put on the revision
committee to represent princeton In place
of Prof. .. B. Warfeld. who resigned.
So far as can be Judged, the sentiment
seems to be in favor Of short staten nt
E OF faith. one that may be used IL the
public service when desired, leaving the
old confession stand as 1t now does. So
far fourteen presbpteries have named
committees or taken other action LOOKING
&c the furnishing Of the General Assembly
Committee with the required INFORM t!on.
