BY CARDINAL MORAST. ATTA<2K ON PROTESTANT folS- . - 1 SiONARY SOCIETIES. . ' United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. ' SYDNEY, June 25. Cardinal Moran, in an address, made further reference to Samoan affairs. Many young officers engaged in the recent fighting, he said, were at prosent parading Sydney saying bitter things about Mat oaf a. •Hβ would- like these gentlemen to bear in mind ■that if nOvr they -had their heads on their shoulders, they owed it 4o the humanity, prudence, and enlightenment of Mataaia, whom they now accused of barbarity. He 'had documents to prove that agents of the London Missionary Society and other Protestant Societies had done everything in their power to oppose Mataafa. Some of 'their agents used influence with, some of the Commanders, of the British Nary to urge them to shell the Catholic Church, in which the aged and infirm had taken refuge, but the outrage was not perpetrated.
