LONDON, July 25-10 p. M-The secret
treaty which was projected between France
and Prussia monopoliZes the attention of
the public press here and of Parliament.
Intense indignation is manifested at the du-
plicity of the Powers concerned. The ac-

to Englaiid:
Complete ignorance of the negotiations
is professed at the French Embassy here.
A dispatch from Brussels states that the
account of the treaty projected between
France and Prussia, which was printed in
the London Times this morning, is perfectly
authentic, and the Belgian Government
knew OF its existence 4 short time ago. u,
In the Hotlse of Lords Earl Granville, in
reply to question from Lords Stratbrd and
Radcliffe, said he was unable to state where
the Times obtained the text of the treaty.
After the announcement OF the existence OF
such Il remarkable document, it would be
the duty of France and Prussia immediately
and spontaneously to explain the matter to
Europe. ..
