Washington, May 3.-Extracts from

chaplain of the Twenty-ninth United
States infantry, to the Catholic bish.
ops assembly in annual convention
here last week, on the status of the
Catholic church in the Philippines
were made public yesterday.
Father Vattman, with the knowl>
edge and consent of the war depart
ment and under direction of the
church authorities, recently made q
careful investigation OF Catholic inter
ests in the archipelago. He is un-
sparing in his praise of Gov. Taft and
other members of the Philippine com
mission for their honesty and Impair
tiality in religious affairs. He com
ments on the influence Of Agilpay, an
insurgent priest, in the islands. and
expresses the belief that had an
American bishop instead OF Mgr.
Euidi had been appointed to Manila
the breach would not have been so
wide, and it would have been closed
quickly. Father ,Vattman regards the

most unfortunate.
Speaks Highly OF TAFT.
"To my mind says Father Watt
mans report, 1t is deplorable tnat
certain of our Catholic Papers persist
in misrepresenting Gov Taft and his
administration. He is clean and
honest man, broadminded and liberal,
with no taint of bigotry IN his compo-
sition. His attitude toward the
church and Catholic interests in
general is simply admirable.
AS to the Aglipay heresy-for it
may be so called am sorry to say it
has attained considerable proportions,
and BODIES danger to the faith OF the

there is such deep feeling against

EGYPT PUTS BAN ON
"HOOTCHIE KOOTCHIE's''
Insists That ST. Louis Exposition Must
Forbid Dance.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.-Egypt
does not want any "hootchie kootchie'
dancers at the st. Louis exposition giving
exhibitions which are represented to be
typical of life in Cairo.
A hitch concerning the Egyptian eXhi-
bition at the exposition, brought to the
attention of the department of state by
David r. Francis, has disclosed CORE
spondence showing the attempt the Egyp-
ton government is making to prevent i'm
moral exhibitions such as are said to have
made the Streets of Cairo a paying con-
cesSion at other eXpoSitionS.
Herman E. Lawford, Egyptian represent
alive to the exposition, arrived in St.
Louis several weeks ago and began prep
arations to install the Egyptian exhibit.
Egypt expected to defray the expense by
selling souvenirs. This concession mad
been granted to the Egypt-St Louis Ex-
position company, which is to reproduce
Egyptian scenes and have Egyptian games
and entertainments.
Mr. Lawford was refused permission to
sell Egyptian goods, because this would
conflict with the contract of the st. Louis
company. The exposition had assured the
Egyptian government it could have super
vision of all Egyptian attractions, that
nothing might be exhibited which would
place Egypt in a bad light.
Efforts have been made to convince the
Egyptian representative that the company
will show nothing that it immoral, but the
exposition authorities are having difficulty
in making peace with Mr.. Lawford
