Chaplain Vattmann in his interviewswith the members of the sacred collegewas very strong and energetic in speakingof the situation in the Philippines. Hedemonstrated the necessity of abandoningimmediately the present dilatory policyand of taking measures to solve promptlythe different ecclesiastical questionswhich, are vitally important in determin-ing the existence and advancement of theRoman Catholic church in the islands.

Chaplain Vattmann openly urged thenecessity^ of having soon an -Americanclergy toT take the place of the Spanish,a'nd of raising at the same time thestanding and prestige of the nativepriests In order to convince the Filipinosthat Rome also was determined to begina new 'regime in the archipelago. ¦ Thefrank and earnest statements of the chap-lain produced a deep and favorable""im-pression at the Vatican.

'

ROMP:, May 3O.-Cardinal Rampolla to-day received In private audience' the Rev.

Edward J. Vattmann, chaplain of theTwenty-ninth United States Infantry, who

presented his report of the situation ofCatholicism in the Philippine Islands". Itappears that the idea of having recourseto arbitration to

- purchase friar lands,

which was again favored after Arch-bishop Guidi's arrival at Manila, is nowlooked .upon coldly by" the interested par-

ties. Governor Taft and his colleagues ofthe Philippine Commissign arc in doubtof the feasibility of again proposing ar-bitration, fearing the friars and pro-moters of the companies interested in the

sale of the lands in question may rejectthe proposition. Archbishop Guidi isfaithfully carrying out the instructionswhich he received in Rome, but the friarsopenly disregard them, denying the right

of interference on the part of the Pope

in a question which they consider to beentirely under the jurisdiction of the or-ders whose interests are. involved. How-ever, the hopes entertained of the accept-ance of arbitration have not entirely beenabandoned.

Minister . Bowen also cabled that thegovernment at' Venezuela has capturedthe port of Barqulsemeto, midway'be-tween Puerto Cabello and La Guayra,

which the insurgents have made'head-

quarters for a long time past.

"Said ports are not blockaded: theircustom houses are suppressed temporar-ily. - *>

"Steamers from Europe have thirtydays grace:, sailing ships sixty days.• "Steamers from United States fifteendays; .sailing ships 30.

"Ten .days for all vessels from Dema-rara and the Antilles: two days fromTrinidad; and Grenada.v"All'counting from June 1.:"Guanta and \ Sucro included in cus-tom house of I^a Guaira, Guira, CanoColorado and Ciudad Boliver: in\that ofCarupano and Coro in that of PuertoCabello."

WASHINGTON, May 30.-A cablegramhas been received at the State Depart-ment from Minister Bowen relative toCastro's decree closing some of the Ven-ezuelan! ports. He makes it appear thatthere" is not a technical blockade, but itis said at. the State Department that thedecree, would have about the same effect,as vessels willnot be permitted to enterthe closd ports. Bowen's cable • is asfollows:

Urges Necessity of ReplacingSpanish by American

Custom Houses Are Sup-pressed Temporarily by

Bowen Explains That It. Is Not a TechnicalBlockade.
