ROME TALKS OF
ALBERT'SACCESSION
RUMoR SAYS HE IS CONSIDERED
LUkEWORM CATHOLIC WITH
DANGEROUS TENDENCIES.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-The Petit Repub-
lique prints resume of an alleged
cipher dispatch sent by Cardfpal Mer-
ry del Val, Papal Secretary, to the
Nuncio at Brussels, saying that the
accession of King Albert has created
inquietude in Rome, where he Is con-
sidsirede a lukewarm Catholic with
anti-clerical, even socialistic, sympa-
thies.
The Cardinal, therefore, urges the
Papal Nuncio to seek to surround the
King with a Catholic encourage in
order to complete the work begun
when the Catholics assumed power in
1884. This would be menaced If King
Albert gave hope to liberalism and
socialism.
According to the same authority,
Cardinal Merry del Val instructed the
Nuncio to confirm the marriage or
King Leopold to Baroness aVughan in
order to tranqulllize the Catholic con-
science.

The officers are after Cardwell. but
as yet he has not been apprehended.
The cause for the cutting is given as
