Of child protruding above the surface
of the water and the body covered with
mud. She went to the river bank and
told Of her dream to Thomas Y. Var

Yarnell started to search near the
place directed by the dream Wading
out to Il spot near where the creek
empties into the river, the first object
he saw was the hand just visible above

VATICAN PROTEST IGNORED.

At the conclusion Of the cabinet meet
ing in Madrid yesterday Premier Cana
lejas announced that the governments
religious programme would be carried
out. He said that the protest OF the
Vatican against the imperial decree OF
June IL would be ignored, and that the
declarations OF the government already
announced would stand King Alfonso
presided over the deliberations OF the
cabinet
The imperial decree amends the con-
stitution and authorizes the editices OF
mont Catholic religious societies to dis
play their insignia for public worship.
The papal protests were coupled with
the negotiations between the govern
ment and Rome for the revision OF the
concordat, and recently Premier Cana
lejas intimated that unless the Vatican
changed its attitude the negotiations
would be broken off.
The Vatican has now replied, and
after setting forth that it maintains that
the decree is violation OF the concor-
dat, and the engagements OF previous
ministries, declines categorically to con-
tinue the negotiations over the revision
until this point is settled.
The Catholic objection to the decree
is on the ground that the government
should maintain the status quo pending
the outcome Of the concordat negotia-
tiOns.
