becoming the bone of a dangerous European
international contention is now verified.
Russia, according to the foreign correspond

Spain to sell Cueta, the stronghold on the
Moroccan coast facing Gibraltar. By the
aid of modern Notifications and armaments
Cueta cal be made to dominate the straits

patroling the route of the British trans

the other doing the same duty along the

of Cueta to Russia would bring the whole
