Pope Does Not Approve Demonstration
 Made Against NozaIeda.

Rome. January 1o.-vatican authorities are greatly displeased because of the Spanish demonstrations against Mon signor Noza1eda, former archbishop of Valencia. It is said at the vatican that the appointment was intended to gratify the Spanish people, as Archbishop Mo- zaleda was one of Spain's own prelates who was struck most severely by the Spanish-American war. and who through that war lost the prominent position which he held In the Philippines.
 The vatican now finds that the appoint ment has caused general satisfaction. and while some persons look upon 1t as dis- pleasing to Americans. 1t has undoubtedly failed to please the Spaniards.
 The Spanish government. through Ann bassador DeAguerra. has informed the vatican that 1t is ready to suppress any manifestations against Archbishop No- zaleda, and that it will support his ap- pointment
