Governor General of the Philippines William H. Taft asks Attorney General Lebbeus R. Wilfley for his opinion in a dispute between the Independent Filipina Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Wilfley believes that the question should be tried in the courts and not handled by executive power. Taft then writes Archbishop Giovanni Battista Guidi regarding the matter.
