PREMIER AT MALTA
FALLS OUT WITH CHURCH. MALTA, Feb. 28. There has been a sensational result of Lord Strickland allegedly interfering in the disciplnary matters oif the Franciscan Monastery here. Father Carta, the Italian Superior of the Francseans. ordered Radre Micallet, one of Lord Striclnnd’s prominentpartisans, to leave Malta, upon which Father Miscallef appealed to Lord Strickland, who countermanded the order on the grounds that an Italian subject has no right to deport a British Maltese. When Father Carta reported the incident to the Vatican, tinlatter excommunicated Father Miscallef. The Archbishop of Malta has also issued a pastoral stating that disobedience oif the Church’s laws were punished by the sacred Canons of tne • Church with excommunication. This is regarded as an indirect reference to Lord Strickland, and the Malterese Catholics ask if Lord Strickland has automatically eeommunicatod himself. The Italian press was recently violently attacking .Lord Strickland, declaring he was a Mason, and that, he was persecuting the Italian .Maltese.
