The Acting Secretary of State to Minister Collier .
Washington , January 30, 1906 .
Sir: In view of a letter addressed to the President, under date of the 25th ultimo, by the Rev. John Lee and Bishop L. B. Wilson, and referred to the department by the President’s secretary on the 6th instant, I have to say that I should be pleased if you would report as to the present status of the non-Catholic religious denominations in Spain in the matter of the exercise of their forms of faith. It is understood that the toleration within the “temple “is permitted, but that outward manifestations of a form of religion other than the constitutional religion of the realm are prohibited.
I am sir, etc.,
