ANSWERS BISHOP POTTER.
Reverend Joseph Alque Defends
Philippines Priests.

New York. April 1.-Reverend Joseph NJ.
Alque. director of the Observatory at
Manila. who is now in Washington en-
gagged in official business of the Govern
ment. has issued Il statement in reply to
Bishop Henry G. Potter and his secretary,
Reverend Percy s. Grant. regarding af-
fairs in the Philippines. Calling attention
to the published interviews. in which the
Bishop and his secretary are quoted as
having declared that the taxes and fees
Tor prisstly administrations in the Philip
pines are excessive. the writer points out
that the Bishop and his secretary were in
the Philippines. but very short time. not
over three or four days: that ii was impos-
sible on account of the war. for them to
get Information outside of Manila, and
that the more serious tilipinos ignored
their presence there.
The Bishop was quoted as saying that the
religious or'iers. except perhaps the Jestlits
have robbed the people. The writer says
the Jcsuits have missions in only the south
ern Islands. and General Bates in Il report
"f the 21tn nf last december stated that the
people there had declared that the mission
aries had taken neither money nor proper
y. The writer wants the Bishop to explain
his use of perhaps" Further quoting his
Interview. he calls uuon bishop Potter for
iacts to. prove such grave and serious
charges.''
Now. the Bishops main point" the
statement continues .is to prove that the
religious orders have robbed the people. But
Ii the people pay the necessary charges for
called robbery? 1t Is not clear from the
Bishops words whether the charge in each
case be from y to S for all the certificates
together. or for each certificate for each
party, which would cause quite a difference
from $40 to $50: nor is it clear whether the
50 to S. is estimated in Mexican money or
our own. But 1t is not worth while iisput-
ing this point because the facts are that
the fees in the Philippines are not as high
as he asserts. The fees for marriages
among native Indians amount to sl75;
anong.mestZos. %: among white people,
about 81. For poor people there is no tax
ut all. as 1 can show by numerous in
stances"
That it was the church taxes which
caused the people to revolt is emphaticaIy
denied. The writer says the causes of the
revolt against the United States are. Hike the,
causes of that against Spain. complicated
and Bishop Potter has no right to state that
the cause of the outbreak among the ma
tives against Spain was the taxation of the
religious orders and friars in the admins
tratiun of the sacrament
