----------.s--------- CHAPElLA IS RELIEVED.
Apostolic Delegate In cuba Win Not
 Return to Post.

Havana, Cuba, April 12.-Accrding to news received here. Monsignor Chapelle, the Archbishop of New Or leans, has been indefinitely relieved from the office of apostolic delegate in Cuba. It seems that since Monsignor Chapelle was Tn Rome last winter it has been decided at the vatican that he should abandon the delegation of the Antilles, but once in America he wrote to the holy see asking that this measure be postponed. The vatican, however, wishing to put an end to the troubles arising from the accusations of personal character against the archbishop has now confirmed it's de cision. So Monsignor Chapelle will not return to Cuba. According to what has been learned here from Rome, il appears he will very likely be substi- tuted by prelate of the curia that is now employed at the vatican.
