VIII Leave Rome IulY "a.

Governor Taft will leave Rome July
q for Manila, whether or not the nego-
tiations Tor the purchase Of the friars'
property in the Philippines are con
cluded by that time.
He has been instructed to explain TO
the Vatican that should the basis of an
agreement not be reached by that time
he viii be compelled to break off the
negotiations at Rome and resume them
at Manila
IN ultimatum setting forth the neces-
sity for a definite assurance from the
church as to the withdrawal Of the fri
ars has been presented 10 the Vatican
by Governor Taft. The authorities here
say that this note is in the nature of an
ultimatum and means that the Vatican
is given until July "a to agree TO the
American propositions for a settlement
of the church land question.
The Issue to Be Forced.
Should no agreement be reached by
that date Governor Taft will proceed
to Manila and will there take up any
proposition the church may desire to
submit. Should nothing be forthcom-
ing in a reasonable time indicating a
disposition on the part of the friars to
leave the Philippines the Philippine
government VIII then take steps to ac-
quire the church property by condem-
nation proceedings and settle for it
when the friars are withdrawn
Certain newspaper publications have
made it appear that the Catholics of
the United States are inclined to take
cffense at the stand taken by the Ad-
ministration relative to the exclusion
OF the friars from the Philippines. In
order to sounteract the political effect
OF such publications the following state
nent is given out from a high official
source:
In seeking, through Governor Taft,
to secure the peaceful removal OF the
tTiars OF the four orders from the Phil
ippine Islands it must be borne in mind
that the American Representatives in
the Philippine Islands have merely been
ondeavoring faithfully to carry out the
wishes of the people, for which they
feel themselves peculiarly bound to
stand.
