MEWS CABLES.

REMARKS BY DEAN RECNAULT. . MISLEADING REPORTS. • ••' T ' Some severe remarks about the Press Association cable messages' were' made by tie Rev. Dean Regnault, S.M;;'at St.-Mary of the Angels' Church'yesterday when.referring. to the revolution' in, Portugal and the trouble in Spain. He said- tho leaders in both' countries were proceeding -with the same tactics that wore adopted in Franco in 1901, and it was evident that tho whole movement was,, oonducted by the same tion/.and their.'purposo was, the, same. It was' Freemasonry attempting ' to '■ drive:; Christianity. from the countir; •Continuing, the ; Dean said(it was singular that;. so far only one • side .of. the question had, been- cabled-out to the daily, newspapers of; tho Dominion. It; was apparent , that the cablo associationi' tnat sent out the news was closer; ly allied with. Freemasonry, and: ; was promoting its work-in cabling mislead-, ing reports, detrimental to the Church." On, the occasion of the recent Eucharis:tic , Congress. at' Montreal—themost. ' magnificent ever : organised—not ono word had been seat about tlie proceedings of this groat demonstration.,-■■ 'Tho only fact that 'had, been recorded ; was; .that 'the...Papal representative, after shaking hands ■ with, 1500 people, felt very tired. \ ■ . ■ .

One day the cables reported, .dread- 1 ful crimos committed ,by:;- JesTiitsi ; !,and nuns in Lisbon, said Dewi; Bognault— l the .throwing or'bombs from dows of their convenes.. . This.' , would lead 'peoplo to think; that the place was! overrun with.; Jesuits, but as: a matter of ,fact they only.had one college there. Tho next day that report was contradicted;, but'the -lie had: come, the mud .had, been thrown, .'and; some' of 'it was surei to ' stick. 'None', of-tie cables ' had! reported ■ what took place in_ Lisbon some years ago when Anarchists, disguised as Jesuits, went about stealing children to. rr.ilamo tJxo populace, against., the Church. It was stated by tho • cables. ■ thattlio : rovotatipn. was caused by the murder of ,'Dr; Bombardo or by tho infatuation of tho King for a : French actress, but it was not told that the Anarchists had sent deputies through Europe some ..time back .to announce that the: revolution, waa '• com-, iiig. In England the "Morning Post" had' printed something -of _ tho'.-'other side .of the question; ,aM : in'.'New Zealand, as far as ho knew; ; :.TnE Dominion was the only newspaper that bad printed anything of, the other ; side to. let; poople 'see what;':the real. cauee of ;.the trouble' was. other,-side' ; was given, it would then be. seen that tho movement was anti-religious;" The people of through becoming csvrer less, in.' their. religious! duties, had lowed themselves to get-in tho grip of a handful of men; who would bring the country to 'the L same state as France was in to-day.
