American Occupation.
Romo, Aug. 8. According to in
ortuntiun received by tho Vatican, al
most all tho real estuto belonging to
Spanish friars in tho Philippines, was
sold beforo American occupation to
syndicates and corporations, registered
and duly recognized, bonded by Amer
icans living In Now York. It Is al
leged by tho sumo authority that, all
though tho friars hold some shares lit
these corporations, they do not own
controlling interests. Tho Vatican is
surprised at tho information, In view
of Governor's proposition 10 buy the
friar's lands, which nro apparently no
longer in tholr control. It la con
sidered remarkable that Governor Taft,
fro'h from the Philippines, was not
aware of the situation.
