flung into the sea by the violence OF
the shock and were with extreme diff

PARIS, Oct. 17.--The claim of Morocco
to Teuau Gases, in Central Africa, is
utterly repudiated by the French gov
ernment. France declares that these
places are entirely within her sphere
OF influence, according TO recent
agreement between her and other
European powers, to settle the ques-

of Morocco is making great stir in
Paris. In an interview on the subject
yesterday, NJ. Rlbot, French foreign
minister, said that the government was
determined to maintain Its position.
1t could not permit the commercial
route of such importance as this to the
French colony of Algeria to fall into

He concluded with the significant
phrase that he was determined tn bring
