"6-You must utterly abominate
civil marriage and regard it as pure
concubinage.
"7-You must also condemn and re-

thorities in any ecclesiastical affairs,
so much in vogue nowadays.
"S-Finally, you must hold the be-
lief that the church by it's origin has a

authority. And reject and condemn
the doctrine that the church is indie
pendent or ought to separate itself

solely in Catholic schools by genuine

account in unsectarian schools, which
are strictly forbidden by the church. y
The foregoing commands are backed
by many quotations from the Bible,
ecclesiastics. syllabus and letters from
different popes This pamphlet was Is

authority and until the organ of the
Roman Catholic church in Manila, a
Spanish newspaper called the Liber-
astus admitted the fact that the Jes-

right, the pamphlet in question, con-
siderable doubt was entertained as to
its authority.

troops sent to the Philippines. The
western regiment to which he was at
tached numbered about 1900 men. Be-
fore sailing from San Francisco, not
only was drunkenness prevalent, but
$50 men were registered for venereal
diseases. His judgment was that not
over ten per cent We're free from licen-
tious vice. Halfway across the Pa
cific, so excessive was the contagion
that every man in the regiment was
subject to examination in order to
check the scourge.
Arrived in Manila, they found but
few houses of ill-repute, with less than
a score of total occupants, but lmmedl-
ately from all quarters came great
and sudden accession. From Vladlvo-
stock, Singapore, Yokohama, Hong
Kong, Calcutta and other treaty ports
abandoned women poured in to the new
and active market. Social vice makes
no distinction of race or color. These
importations included Russians, Ger
mans, French and Italians. Three hun
dred were reported as arriving on one
steamer. They found cordial welcome,
and their houses were guarded by Uni
ted States soldiers under orders to pro-
tect the traffic.
My visitor affirmed that, when he
left Manila, in the Gala AUX, a street
in the northwestern part of the city,
these notorious houses occupied both
sides of the way for three-quarters of
a mile, the windows filed with solicit
ing women in CARDS too scandalous for
description. The blessings of Ameri-
can civilization were beginning among
chaste and temperate people. Actual
war upon the natives, although immi-
nent, had not yet begun.
On the arrival of the regiment there
existed, according to my informant,
one brewery, one distillery, one garden
for the sale of beer and spirits, and
several hotels, clubs and restaurants,
where liquor was served with meals.

MANILA, April 15.-The most SEN
sational of the events of the past week
has been the general distribution by
the Jesuits of pamphlet in which
is set forth the truths which Chris
tians must observe"
Among the things most strongly
condemned by the Jesuits in this PAM
phlet are religious tolerance and rec
ignition of civil marriage. Conse-
quently this act of the Jesuits is con-
sidered by many to be an attack upon
the American administration. 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 re-
jected and condemned by the supreme
pontiffs.
"4-You must also reject and con-
