The Holy Fathers Refusal to With

the Rupture That Has Been Pend
ing for Some Time Past.

Paris. Aug. Although no official
announcement has yet been made 1t can
be positively affirmed that the rupture
between France and the vatican is COM
plete. The holy sees lengthy reply to
the French note, though most courte-
ously worded, merely amounts to po-
lite statement that the pope does not in
tend to infringe the stipulations OF the
concordat and will not withdraw the
letters calling the bishops of Dijon and
Laval to Rome.
Diplomatic courtesy forbids the pub
LEGATION of the French answer until the
pope is notified, but Foreign Minister
Delcasse Friday night sent M. de Cour-
eel. the French charge d'affaires at the
vatican, two notes, one for the papal
secretary of state, announcing the rup-
ure. and the second a personal note, in
structing the charge d'affaires, and the
others of the staff of the embassy, to re-
turn to Paris Immediately after his mis-
sion is accomplished, which, probably
was Saturday morning. When M. dc
Courcel's advices reach Foreign Minis
ter Delcasse the latter will Immediately
request the papal nuncio here to leave
France.
No Immediate Consequences.
It is not expected that the rupture will
have any immediate consequences be-
yond the mutual withdrawal of thu
representatives of France and the vati
can and the suppression of the embassy
and nunciature, as the denunciation o.
the concordat requires parliamentary
sanction. Consequently fresh develop
ments are improbable until the appoint
ment of the new bishops comes up. Well
informed persons do not believe that thu
vatican will retaliate by withdrawing
Frances protectorate over the eastern
Catholics.

casse Saturday afternoon addressed ;

that in consequence of the rupture o
relations between France and the vat
