Paris, July 2S-At the cabinet coun-
Gil today NJ. Volcassee. minister of
foreign affairs, submitted to his col
leagues certain questions arising out of
SPANS overtures for peace.

the stagnation of business since the
war began.

French consuls at Havana and San

amount available. the council of state
will issue a decree opening an eXtraor-
diIary credit for the assistance of

have been in receipt of daily relief at
