Mr. Hood said that the permanent road

In the current number Of the "NOuveIle
Revue Internationale." published at Par
Is. NJ Paul POurot has an interesting pa
per on the Gibraltar question, in which he
asserts that the position is not impreg-
nable, and that its defences could be de-
stroyed by batteries emplaced on the
heights Of the Sierra Carb0nera. six or
seven kilOnetGrs 10 the north. This. SAYS
NJ. POurOt, is a fact within the knowledge
Of both the English and the Spaniards,
and he further states that Ihe Spanish
Government for years has haf guns in re-
serve especially designed for the reduc-
ton Of Gibraltar. The "Diari0." OF Mad
rid, commenting on the article. says that
the possession Of these batteries is not
sufficient: We must take more steps to-
ward the reconstruction Of our military
and naval power; organize our army and
our navy, purchase vessels and cannon,
ana renOunCe the thought OF peace-for
we shall see war" The closing sentence
Of NJ. Pourots article Is suggestive Of the
continental opinion Of England's military
power at the present zine. It reads: The

II is quite certain that not so many
