NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE POPE Undo bam Present* a Proposition to III) Holiness Rome, July 5.—The United States envoy here has delivered to the Vati can a proposition for the settlement of the land and friar questions in the Philippines. The note objects to the Vatican's proposal to have the new apostolic delegute at Manila settle tho question of the religious orders, of which Judge Taft remarks: "Thus would be lost the advantages expected from a/direct contract 'clearly deter mining the principal lines upon which co-operation between the church and state may be assured." The note then proposes that the United States will purchase the lands of the Dominicans and Augustlnians at a price to be de termined by arbitration, the price to be paid In Mexican dollars. The former Spanish crown lands now in possession of the United States government, on whicn there are eccle siastical buildings, are to be banded over to an ecclesiastical official ap pointed by the Vatican. The ordinary courts are to decide concerning the land retained by the church, but claimed by the municipalities. Cases of disagreement shall be submitted to the arbitration of the same arbitrators, who shall also decide the San Jose foundation case, now pending before the supreme court ot the Philippines. The United States Is to pay an indcrn nlty for the buildings used by troops, but nothing is to be paid until the title deeds are in the hands of the Philip pine government. All friars of the four orders must withdraw within two years of the first payment. A small number Is to con tinue during that time to look after the schools and universities, but nil of them must go—half during nine months from the first payment and half eighteen months later, not includ ing friars who have not raised the hos tility of the natives and who remained In their parishes after the revolution of 1808 till now, except those In Ma nila. No Spanish friars may be sub stituted for those withdrawn. The note reminds tne Vatican that the orders still publish a paper In Ma nila which Is anti-United States and anti-Philippine, but pro-Spanish, and that the orders possess property In Ma nila to the value of nearly 0,000,000 Mexican dollars, while that of the Ito man Catholic church Is only valued at 3,500,000 Mexican dollars.
