Rome, April 13.?Rome U once more excited over the relations be tween Theodore Roosevelt and the Vatican, and the sensation caused by the first news of the breach between them Is overtopped by that aroused by the Vatican's latest statement at tacking the former president. The foes of the clerical party today seised the occasion for scathing de nunciation of . the church and the visit of Mr. Ro<*evelt to Italy prom ises to prove one of the country's leading political issues. The text of the authorized state ment from the Vatican today was widely circulated and discussed. Its condemnation of Abbot L<awrence Janssens of the Benedictines, secre tary of the congregation of the af fairs of religious orders, Is exceed ingly strong. It wss he who left a card at Mr. Roosevelt's apartments, having failed to'see the formen presi dent. commending him for his atti tude toward Catholics while in the White House. Most ardent supporters* of the monarchy are incensed at the fling which, they declare, the Vatican takes at King Victor Emmanuel, as well as' other rulers who plan the entertain ment of Mr. Roosevelt In Europe, in the statement by the Vatican that it not wish Mr. Roosevelt to bracket the pope otfier-more of less royal personages he will boast of having hunted In Europe after htsi African hunt." The statement, tirst, however, cen sures Father Janssens thus: "The Holy Father has highly dis approved of Father Janssens' initia tive toward Mr. Roosevelt, as the act of his evidently lends Mself to an In terpretation offensive to the Hdjy Father. Father Oanasend Acted through his own impulse, without any authorization from anv(.:io what ever." ? The publication of the atatemc.it has torn the whole situation open again when it was believed that the Incident would be allowed to be for gotten.
