Madrid, Spain. 49, Premier Camalejas
describes the recall of Marquis de Ole
la, the Spanish ambassador TO the
Vatican, as IAN indefinite suspension
Of negotiations" The critical situa-
ton brought about by the rupture of
diplomatic relations with the holy see
is fully realized by the government
and the people. The premier made
a statement bearing On the contro-
versy between the church and state
since the beginning of the negotia-
tons.
"The m | assumed power" he
said, II opened negotiations for a re-
duction of the religious orders. The
Vatican replied, offering less than was
offered to Premier Maura. We were
grieveously disappointed, but pursued
the issue in a spirit of great modera-
ton.
Desiring to advance the question
without %rupturing the negotiations, We
exercised our right of sovereignty by
Issuing DEGREES, compelling the orders
to register under the law, and order
ing the dissidents to display the en-
blems of public worship. The Vatican
replied with protests and we reintro-
duced a bill interdicting further orders
until the revision of the concordat
could be established.
when the Vatican finally demand
ed the suspension of the DEGREES, as a
condition for a continuation of the
negotiations, the government despite
its desire to avoid a rupture, decided
to consider the negotiations abortive
and to proceed to carry out its pro-
gram by DEGREES and legislation. The
king approved our course. The stu
alton will not retard the visit of his
majesty to England next week"
Vatican Ambassador Recalled.
An official communication issued by
the government throws the entire re-
sponsibility for the present trouble on
the holy see whose attitude" is says,
has rendered sterile the conciliatOry
propositions of the government"
The communication continues:
The government having exercised
every means to reach an agreement
regarding a reduction of the orders,
has now instructed Marquis de Ojeda,
ambassador to the Vatican, to inform
Cardinal Merry del Val the papal sec
rotary, that he has been recalled to
Spain and has received orders leaving
the counsellor in charge of the en-
bassy."
The Liberal newspapers enthusiastic
cally applaud the virile, independent
act of the government"
The Republican newspapers promise
their support and urge the government
to ~persevere in its policy.
The Universe, a Catholic organ, de-
clares that the Catholics are ready
for the struggle. The pope" says
the paper, sis not a foreign sovereign
in Spain. He is as national and Span
ish in the temporal sphere as the king
or the cortes."
Count Sagasta, minister of the in
terror. said:
Rome wrongly believes that Spain
is a country of fanatics. When the
Vatican understands that we are no
living in the middle of the eighteenth

PapaI Muncio Still at Madrid.
Rome, Aug. 1.-The papal nuncio
at Madrid, Monsignor Vico, has not
been recalled by the Vatican which
is awaiting the official announcement
of the recall by the Spanish governor
of Marquis de 0ieda, ambassador to
the Vatican. The situation with re
gard to the rupture with Spain, there.
fore. remains practically unchanged.
The Vatican is greatly offended by
the methods adopted by Premier Ca,
naleias in the recent recall of the
Spanish ambassador, as the
ment was made through the press and
neither the papal muncio at Madrid,
nor the Vatican was notified directly.
AS a consequence the papal secretary
of state, Cardinal Merry De Val has
not been able to take any measure OF
retaliation, but it is believed that
Mgr. Vico will be instructed to leave
Madrid Immediately after the official
announcement of Marquis De Ode5a's
recall is received here.
