London. Aug 24-The Madrid correspondent
of The Times says:

authority of an anonymous French diplomatist
that. owing to NJ. Hanotaux's exertions. a treaty
Of alliance has been signed between Spain.
France and Russia. with the object Of counter
acting the Anglo-German influence in Morocco.
Other newspapers mention the matter. but with
out affirming that the treaty has been actually
signed
The idea OF a permanent rapprochement be-
tween France and Spain is certainly in the air
and may in time assume considerable practical
Importance. II had It's origin In Frances role
in the peace negotiations. and reports or friction
with England over Spains military activity In
the neighborhood of Gibraltar. Many patriotic
Spaniards who apprehend further sacrifices dur
ing the forthcoming peace negotiations regard
this suggestion Of a French alliance with much
favor, especially as French help would be use
full also in the great work of financial and
economic reorganization which Spain must un-
dertake directly peace is concluded.
AT the same time. II must be noted that the
protocol. signed under French auspices. has pro-
duced deal Of popular dissatisfaction. because
while making the loss OF the Antilles irrevocable.
Il may also result In the loss OF the Philippines
"It remains to be seen whether France will
render effective assistance.
The recent article In the Paris Temps" on
the situation is regarded as very significant. 1t
is asked whether the word gratuitously' in the
'Tempss' statemen. that France has no interest
in compromising herself gratuitousy with a
country evidently destined to a more active part
in great international affairs slipped in acci-
dentally. or was intended hint that France
might be induced TO do more for a substantial

Havana. Aug 23.-The local papers express
considerable doubt. based upon a rereadng Of

itself to declare Cubas independence.
a number Of prominent Cubans who are
Spanish sympathizers have recently received
threatening letters. signed by insurgents or

Several Of these letters tell those whom they
are sent that they may choose the sort Of tree
