SPAIN AND THE CHURCH

Vatican interested in Proposed Banishing Religious Orders. Madrid, April 7.—The archbishop of Burges, in the name of the church, protested in the senate against the pending presentation of the measure proposing the banishing of religious orders from Spain. It is anticipated that the law will come up for the approval of the senate ard the deputies in a few days. The archbishop said that the act would exasperate the Vatican and violate the agreement existing between Spain and the church. The consequences to the government of Spain would be grave, said the archbishop.
