To such as are not familiar with
the spirit Of Rome, the frustrated
plot Of the papists TO slaughter the
members Of the Society Of Christian
Eudcayor, who were holding a rally
at the Palace Of Fine Arts in the city
Of Barcelona, is incredible. But the
evidence is so clear and unmistak-
able that il cannot be denied.
The Rev. Francis f. Clark, OF
Boston, president Of the United So
ciety Of Christian Endeavor, to-
gether with Mrs. Clark, we're pres
ent at the rally and would have been
destroyed had the program Of these
Spanish knights Of mob and murder
not been frustrated by the timely
and vigorous action Of the BARGE
Iona authorities. That the Spanish
people are throwing of the influ-
ence Of Rome and are growing in re-
ligious tolerance and liberality sp-
pears in the numerous commenda-
tions received by the governor, may

protection Of the Pretestants under
such trying circumstances.
The whole story is told in Ell Lib-
eral, a leading newspaper Of Mad
rid, a translation Of which, made for
THE MENACE, follows:
