OF these statements, and Catholics of

OF the towns are visiting the proTin-
cial governors for the purpose of max
ing the same request. and lxominent
Manila Catholics are cabling the Pope
on the subject. The people say. the
frlars will be driven ont if they return
to their parishes, and there will be
continual trouble If the administration
attempts to protect them.
