BLOCKED OUR PLANS
Three Cardinals Credited With Pre-
venting tho Philippine Settlement.

The presence of Cardinal Gotti,
Steinhuber and Wives y Tuto on the
committee Of members of the Sacred
college appointed to treat with Gov
ernor Taft about the withdrawal of
the friars from the Philippines was so
certain from the very outset to frus-
trate the object he sought to secure
that it is difficult to refrain from the
belief that the propaganda, which was
responsible for their appointment,
was bent on the negotiations coming
to nothing, For each OF the three
cardinals in question is, or, rather,
has been, a member of a great relig-
ious order, and as such might be re-
lied upon to make the strongest kind
of a fight against everything that could
affect either the prestige or the finan-
cial welfare Of the order with which
they were identified. Thus, Cardinal
Gotti was a monk of the barefOoted
Carmelite Order and still to this day,
in spite of his elevation to the RANK of
a prince of the church, continues to
live the live of monk, sleeping in
cell and on a hard mattress. He was,
up to the moment of his receiving the
sacred hat, the general of the Carmel
ties, and although of the most humble
birth, being the son of a dock laborer
at Genoa, has been repeatedly desig-
mated by Leo NH as the prelate whom
he would wish to see elected as his
successor
Cardinal Steinhuber has for many
years past been looked upon as the
representative of the Order OF Jesuits
in the Sacred college, and. although of
advaloed age, is an exceedingly clever
man, of the church militant order,
who is strongly opposed to every kind
of concession to those whom he re
CARDS as the foes of the church In
deed, he is one of the most aggressive
members of the intransigeant element
at the Vatican.
Cardinal Wives Y TutO is one of the
youngest members Of the Sacred col
leEe, a Spaniard by birth formerly a
member of the Berpdictine Order, and
ever since his elevation to the senate
of the church has been looked upon
as the special representative at Rome
of the various religious orders in
Spain.-New York Tribune
