MANILA. Oct. 27.-5:05 p. m.—The
Filipino congress has selected a com
mission of native priests to proceed to
Home and explain to the pope the
abase and iniquities of the friars and
ask for correcting intervention.
Aguinaldo, in a recent speech at Tar
lac, characterized the friars as in
triguers and abusers of honor, law and
morality, and declared they compassed
Spain's downfall in the Philippines.
He added:
"We can have no consideration for
the iriars, whose iniquities and abuses
are doubtless unknown at the Vatican,
where only the friars' own misleading
reports are received. If this commission
has not yet left Manila the fact is due
to the machinations and intrigues of
Bishop Nozaleda, of Manila, who is
most efficaciously aiding our enemies."

tons of iron ore in 1900, are already in

no such amount of ore can be produced
