HARSH WORDS
Spoken by a Catholic Bishop to a
Portuguese Presbyterian Min

lister.
SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, June
27-At teachers conference held here
yesterday evening. DR.. saIdana, a mem
Der OF the insular board OF education,
during the course OF an address, re-
marked that the Catholic religion
should again be introduced into the
public schools Of Porto Rico. DR.. Ca
mos Valladares, a Portuguese Presby-
terlan superintendent of public Instruc-
ton in Brazil, took exception to DR.. Sal
dana's remark and turning to Bishop
Blenk (the bishop of Porto Rico, he
said in substance that the Roman Catho-
lie church had been negative In resultG
in all the South American countries as
sorting that the initeracy prevailing
there was due entirely to the churches
influences. This remark caused great
excitement. No sooner were the words
uttered than Bishop Blenk Jumped to
his feet, and, striking the table with his
closed fist, shouted:
ut is a lien adding II will not sit
quietly and hear the church of which
am the representative in Porto Rico,
traduced in such language"
After a painful silence, by common
impulse the adherents of the bishop
shouted as with one voice, Long live
Catholicism" and the incident was
closed. though it has aroused much
feeling.
