RELIGIOUS RIOTS IN MEXICO.
Clergy Denounced and PopuIace
Invade Churches---Priests Fled
TO Sanctuary.

Mexico City, July 2.-The public
mind is much excited and the clergy
are filed with indignation over the
results Of the students anti-clerical
demonstration yesterday. The stu
dents met to the number Of 300 and
held public meeting near the statue
of Columbus on Ell Pazo and Shive
driveway. Stirring speeches, showing
the feeling of the young men, were
made denouncing the recent alleged
immoralties Of few priests who II
was claimed by the students have been
shielded and not punished. A charge
was made that former Archbishop La
bastida was traitor to his country
while the present Archbishop Alarlon
showed no disposition to punish recre-
ant priests.
"A company of mounted gendarmes
preserved order and the demonstration
was witnessed by Gov. Coral of the
federal district and by Chief Of Police
Villegas
The students, accompanied by q
great number Of people from the lower
classes marched up San Francisco
street and on the way the police ar
rested three men for Insulting women
while going to mass. By this time the
crowd numbered fully 8, GOO people and
made its way toward the Church OF
Santo Domingo where the Dominican
fathers ohciate. Part Of the crowd
entered during mass when the church
was filed with worshippers, mostly
ladies Shouts were raised of Death
to the priests 70 and Down with the
clergy 70 The priests left the altar
and sought refuge in the sacristy with
many Of the worshippers. Women
cried and shrieked but the disturbance
went no further.
Another part Of the crowd entered
the Church of Santa Carija arriving
during 10 o'clock mass. Windows
were broken and images thrown down.
The priests we're dispersed and the
students made speeches denouncing
the clergy. There were heard shouts
for Father Icaza, who is. accused Of
many misdeeds.
The women present were terrified
and the police made several arrests
but many of the prisoners were after
ward released. The leaders among The
students had counseIed moderation
and not making a disturbance but the
mob was apparently tbent on show
ing its feeling toward the clergy.
Precautions have been taken to pre-
vent further trouble, but it is believ-
ed that if several priests who are
publicly denounced in the press are
not punished the young men may
make an attempt to invade the tenn
pies. The liberals and Catholics
consider that the clergy will now be
compelled to demand the EXPULSION Of
priests who it is said have caused
public indignation to reach fever heat.

In response to the request Of the
press for me to make statement IN
regard to Cuba, all I have to saysiss
that the acceptance Of the Platt,;
amendment by the Cuban constitution.
al convention has already defined the
political situation Of Cuba, and as
the Cubans are all anxious to estab-
lish self government, they are all
working toward this end. There is!
not one who does not desire to seethes
flag float free, a flag which represents
SO much suffering and so many sacrl-s
fees for freedoms sake. The whole
world has known this many years.
ssThe sole object of my visit has
been my great desire to embracesmys
old. true and loyal friend, Thomas
Estrada Palma, whom have not been
able to see since peace was established
and of course, to pay a visit to-Presl-s
dent Mckinley, to whom we Cubanss
owe so much, and also to pay my re-
spects to Secretary Root.
This is not my first visit to this
city, of which I have many pleasant
and also sad recollections, for have
once silently and unknown trod the
thoroughfares Of a free country with
only the ardent hope of helping to-
break the chains that enslayeds Cuba
Today everything is changed. On.
again settinag foot in this free land y
feel happy, for in America see. s
friend, who having she'd his blood side
by side with Us for freedom has earned
eternal gratitude and established the.
mutual obligation between the two
peoples to maintain the peace and m
dependence of the island Of Cube.
Signed M. Gomez: -
Gen. Gomez will in all probability
return to this city from Washington
Wednesday and will remain here until
Sturday, when he will sail for Cuba.

THE FOURTH IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Civil Government lnaugurated--
Gov. Taft's Address.

Manila, July 4.-Civil government
in the Philippines was auspiciously
inaugurated today. Commissione1
Taft was escorted by Gen. Macarthur
and Gen Chafee from the palace to
a great temporary tribune on the oppo-
site side Of the Plaza Placio. Stand
ing on projecting centre of the trib-
une, Mr.. took the oath of Office
as civil governor Of the philippine
islands. The oath was administered
by Chief Justice Arnello. Gov. Taft
was then introduced by Gen. Mac
Arthur, the gun Of Fort Santiago be
ing fired by way of salute.
A feature of the inaugural address
of Gov. Taft was the announcement
that on Sept. 1901, the commission
would be increased by the appoint
ment Of three native members, DR..
Wardo Detavera, Benito Legarda and
Jose Luzuriaga. Before the 1st Of
September, departments will be insti-
tuted as follows, the heads being mem
bers Of the United States Philippine
commission
lnterio Worcester.
Commerce and Police-Wright.
Justice and Finance-Ide.
Public Instruction-Moses.
Of the ~ provinces organized, Gov.
Taft said the insurrection still exists
in five. This will cause the continu-
ance of the military government in
those sections. Sixteen additional
provinces are reported without insur-
rection, but as yet. they have not been
organized. Four provinces are not
ready for civil government. Gov. Taft
said that with the concentration Of
troops in large garrisons it would be
necessary for the people to assist the
police in the preservation of order.
Fleet launches will be procured, he
said, which will facilitate communica-
tion among the provinces, as well as
aid the postal and revenue depart
ments.
In connection with educational
efforts, Gov. Taft said that adults
should been educated by an observation
of American methods. He said that
there was a reasonable hope that con-
gress would provide a tariff, suitable
to assist in the development Of the
Philippines and not mere application
of the United States tariff.
According to Gov. Taft there is an
unexpended balance in the insula1
treasury of s3, 100, 900 and an annual
income OF $40, 600, Geo.
The governor said that any possible
friction between civil and military
subordinates should be discouraged.
The patriotism of the leading Filipinos
was commended. In conclusion Civil
Governor Taft reiterated hope ex-
pressd by the president that in the fu-
ture the inhabitants would be grateful
for the American Philippine victories
and that they would be indissolubly
linked in ties of affection with the
common country.

ernment.

sion lasting three hours the Puerto
Rican assembly today unanimously
passed the free trade resolution. The
assembly hall was crowded with people
and cheers greeted the announcement
that Gov. Allen had signed the reso-
luton.

with preamble in which reference
is made to Section 8 Of the Foraker
law. The resolution then continues.

extra session and acting pursuant to

established legal Puerto Rican holi-
day to commemorate, the anniversary

uation of the island, and showed that

=er's report on the islands resources
from which revenue could be derived
was considered sufficiently definite to
warrant the joint resolution IN favor
Of free trade.

lander, in a long speech, reviewed
the workings of the tax law and e1-
planned the new system OF taxation.

HERuHY'S APPEAL TO(OURT

San Francisco, April c. p. II.
Herlihy, chief engineer Of the steam
ship Rio de Janeiro when that vessel
went down off the Golden Gate, APP
pealed yesterday to the United States
Circuit Court from the decision Of the
United States Inspectors Of Local and
Foreign Steam Vessels revoking his
license as an engineer. Herlihy states
in his appeal that he was not served
with a copy of the charges and was
not given an opportunity of defen.ing
himself
The inspectors found that Herlihy
was guilty of neglect Of duty on the
occasion OF the wreck of the Rio de
Janeiro and they revoked his license.
In Herlihy's case the usual precedent
was followed in accordance with the
regulations governing the inspectors.
Whenever a wreck occurs the chief
surviving officer is required to make
written report to the inspectors CIV
ing the salient details of the accident.
Then an investigation Is had, no
charges being filed against any one.
Should the investigation show that
any officer was guilty Of gross negli-
gence or otherwise failed to perform
his duty the inspectors find according
ly and impose penalty of suspension
| for a definite period or revoke the H.
cense of the delinquent. This course
was followed in the Rio de Janeiro
case and such is the course pursued
by United States inspectors all over
the country.
Judge Morrow set April 10 as the
date for argument on the appeal.
Harry w. Hutton will appear for Her
| lihy.

tions. The latest advices from Simla
say the census returns of the central
provinces show decrease OF
over million since 1891,
when under normal conditions an In

to the famine. In western India
things are even worse. The OdepoOr
state returns show a decrease Of Si,-
900, or As per cent Of the population !.

crease OF S08,000; the district of
Banda shows decrease Of 1874 1000
