been published. 1t gives favorable accounts OF
the condition of France, and states that her re-

gard to the Ecumenical Council This body, It
says, is beyond the pale OF the political powers

by the United States and South America with the
Cuban rebellion has unfortunately complicated
the settlement OF the above question. Winding
up this subject, the Book says the French Coy
ernment has no reason 70 violate the laws OF
neutrality. The only aim OF this government IL
to develop peacefully its foreign relations, and
