Bishop Exiled From Spain
REPUBLIC AND RELIGION
London, May 19.
The “Daily Telegraph’s'’ Madrid correspondent says that tlie order exiling tlie Bishop of Vittoria averted a serious urprising. The Catholics in tlie Basque Provinces, where two fanatical civil wars were fought previously, were armed, ready to rise against tlie Republic, as a result of the Bishop’s propaganda on the eve of the elections which resulted in the donwfttll of tlie monarchy. The Bishop, who was a friend of Cardinal Segura, was Ute only Prelate to issue a Pastoral Letter instructing Catholics in bis diocese to vote for Monarchists.
It is expected that the Government will ban Jesuits from Spain or prevent them exercising teaching functions.
