ROME PUBLISHES A DENIAL

MADRID, August ia semi-officia'
note, issued today. attributes to Cardinal
Merry del Val, the papal secretary OF
state, sole responsibility for the acts OF
the Vatican in the controversy with Spain
The note says that the statements issued
by Cardinal Merry del Val for the pur-
pose, according to the note. Of influencing
the press Of the world, will make no i'm
preston upon the Spanish government,
which is thoroughly informed o. what is
proceeding behind the scenes at the Vati-
can.
The congregation Of extraordinary &C.

the negotiations between Spain and the
Vatican, which have been going on for
months. Premier Canalejas knows that
every decision in the present controversy

Of the abandonment of the clerical demon
stration at San Sebastian. the Spanish
summer capital. August Z, that the Vati-
can ndQ instructed the Roman SdtiiollcS
Of Spain to prevent the manifestation.
The Vatican now wishes it clearly known
that this statement was incorrect. The
holy see maintained wholly extraneous
attitude on the subject. taking no steps
regarding the movement and doing MOTH
ing either to promote or to prevent 1t.
The Vatican issued today an official
denial of the report that Mgr. Benigni.
under secretary of state at the Vatican,
had left for Spain to meet a represent
alive of the Spanish government tor con-
fidential communications about settle
ment of the controversy.
Statement Is Reiterated.
The statement was first printed Satur-
day by the Giornale d'Italia mentioning
without names the departure of a mon
signor attached to the department of the
pal secretary. The clerical organ
Corriere d'Italia. promptly published q
note denying the story. whereupon the
Giornale d'IIalia reiterated the statement,
giving the name OF Mgr. Benigni as the
official concerned.
