Letters from Ceferino Joven to the Executive Secretary to Governor General William H. Taft
Governor Joven responds to a request from Governor General Taft for a report regarding the tensions with the Catholic friars in his province. Joven encloses two letters he received from the municipal president of Lubao, Eugenio Fernandez. There is a great deal of animosity between the friars and the people of Lubao. Fernandez fears for the friars’ safety and cannot guarantee it if they choose to stay in the city. In the ten days that passed between Fernandez’s two letters, one friar died (naturally), a second returned to Manila, and a third was waiting to hear from the bishop.
