REVENGE FOR
AN OLD SCORE
Spanish Secretary Believed to
Have Sought to Even Spanish
American War Soreness.
WOULD HUMBLE YANKEE
PRESIDENT, SAYS DEL VAL
Roosevelt-Vatican Incident Brings
Praise for Roosevelt From All
Creeds-American Catholics in
Accord.

ROME, April 5.-The chief mate
rial development in the Roosevelt
vatican incident today was RoOse-
velt's reputation of the attempt of
the Methodist organization here to in
terpret his action as an endorsement
of it's work. This reputation took
the form of the calling off of the re-
ception to members of the American
colony which was to have been held
tomorrow night, and it resulted di-
rectly from the issuance of a state
ment yesterday by Rev. B. M. Triple,
pastor of the American church in
Rome, in which he severely arraigned
the Roman Catholic church.
Too Much Tumult.
Roosevelt continues to deprecate in
"A most vigorous fashion the religious
tumult caused by the incident, which
he regards as personal to himself and
he continues entirely confident that
his countrymen, Catholic and Pro-
testant. when the facts in the case
are clearly and dispassionately ex-
amined, will sustain his position.
When the vatican statement likening
the situation to what might occur in
Germany if he visited the Polish sep
aratists after seing the emperor was
called to Roosevelt's attention he said
that if the German emperor should
place as condition to his audience
that Roosevelt was not to see the
Poles he would make the same reply
that he did to the vatican.
Would Do Same in Germany.
This phase of the situation is at
tracing more and more attention
and is an open disapproval of the
vatican's action by numerous CathO-
lies. This is not confined to laymen
but extends to hierarchy and even to
sacred college itself. Some of the
cardinals have privately expressed
dissent from action which places the
church in a position in any way hos
tile to Roosevelt.
The responsibility generally is
placed personally upon the shoulders
of Cardinal Merry Del Val. The &C.
clesastic is reported to have said:
"'Tis not the church but a private
act of the Spanish secretary of state
against the colonel of the rough riders
in Cuba
Merry Del Walls father, formerly
the Spanish ambassador at the vati-
can, VINO is now in Rome and who
has often complained of the naughty
and boastfu attitude of the United
states in the days of Spain's defeat
said to friend: at seems almost
providential that my son should be
the man to humble the Yankee pres
idCnt." Roosevelt has received many
messages, not only from friends in the
United States endorsing his action. but
from people throughout Europe, many
of whom he does not know.
#. X. and King JOY Riding.
King Victor Emmanuel visited
Roosevelt this morning and, following
a pleasant social chat they motored
to the barracks of Cuirassiers. where
they witnessed a series of mnneuvers
In the afternoon in company with
Professor earle, director of the Amer
lean School of Classical Studies at
Rome, Roosevelt spent considerable
time exploring the capital forum
where he was exceedingly enthusiasts
tic Returning he stopped at an an
tiuue jewelry store which he visited
43 years ago, as the boy proprietor
searched the old register and found
Rooselets name. SignOr Ferra,
sovereign grand commander of the
supreme council of ancient and aC-
cepted Scottish rite with a deputation
called at Roosevelts apartments and
conferred upon him high masonic
rite. Roosevelt delivered brief
speech in which he expressed much
qualification at the honor.
