JESUIT PAMPHLET.
Has Been Generally Distributed
Among the fI|ibInos.
II Is Regarded as 40 Attack Upon the
American Administration.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
Manila, April 15.-The most sensa-
tional Of the events OF the past week
has been the general distribution by
the Jesuits OF pamphlet IN which IL
set forth the Truths which Christ
ians must observe"
Among the things most strongly con-
demned by the pamphlet are religious
tolerance and recognition of civil mar
rage. Consequently this act OF the
Jesuits is considered by many TO be
an attack upon the American admins
tration. The pamphlet in question
says:
1. The commands of the church
must be obeyed in the same manner as
the law Of God.
2. You must subject your own judg-
ment TO THAT OF the church and think
exactly as the church thinks for the
church cannot be overcome.
3. You must reject and condemn the
Masonic sect SO frequently rejected
and condemned by the supreme Pom
tiffs.
4. You must also reject and condemn
liberty of worship; liberty OF the
press; liberty Of thought and the other
rejected by the church.
5. You must also reject and condemn
liberalism and also modern progress
and civilization as being false progress
and false civilization.
6. You must utterly abominate civil
marriage and regard IT as pure con-
cubinage.
Z. You must also condemn and re-
ject the interference of the civil au-
thorities In any ecclesiastical affairs, SO
much in vogue nowadays.
8. Finally, you must hold the belief
that the church by it's origin has
divine and a supernatural authority;
and is. moreover. inferior to the civil
authority. and reject and
condemn the doctrine that
the church Is independent or
ought to separate itself from the state.
Children must be brought up in the
above views. condemning whatever the
church condemns And children must
be educated solely I'M Catholic schools
by genuinely Catholic teachers. and not
on any account in unsectarian schools
which are strictly forbidden by the
church.
The foregoing commands are backed
by many quotations from the Bible. ec-
clesiastics and different popes. This
pamphlet was issued without duly eX-
pressed church authority. and until the
organ of the Roman Catholic church in
Manila. a Spanish newspaper called
the Liberastus. admitted the fact that
the Jesuits had published the PAM
phlet, considerable doubt was enter
tained as to it's authority.

Before Judge Wilbur and jury was
tried today the suit of Grace Vaughn,
an actress. against theatrical manager
Fred Irwin. Miss Vaughn claimed she
was discharged because she refused to
do a disrobing act, her contract only
calling for her doing the chief boys
part and a singing speciality. Mr.. Ir-
win claimed Miss Vaughn wanted more
money and left him of her own ac-
cord. So far from being disgusted at
the part she took in the burlesque on
the Turtle" Mr.. Irwin said the dis
robing act "tickled her to death" He
furnished the costumes. Miss Vaughn
sought to recover for about 10 weeks
salary.
Miss Vaughn testified she had been
on the stage IA years. She was en-
gagged by Mr.. Irwin for the Majestic
Burlesquers in December, 1898. TO do
the chief boys part and do a singing
speciality. The season was 10 last Il
weeks and she was to receive 500 a
week. Miss Vaughn appeared on the
stage until February. when she ceased
TO work at Troy. New York. According
to witness, the last week she received
but $50 and then on Monday afternoon
she was discharged because she re-
fused to perform the disrobing act.
On Monday night she made up, but
Irwin would not let her go on the stage.
Tuesday Mr.. Irwsn's men refused her
admission to the theatre. The disrob-
ing act. witness said. was no part of
her contract: she had done everything
her contract called for. All she had
earned during the balance of II weeks
was $50. Mr.. Irwin refused to pay her
even the $50 unless witness gave re-
lease I'm full.
On cross-examination witness said
her contract with Irwin was made at
