ANGLO FRENCH TREATY.
MAIN POINTS SETTLED.
Britain to Control French Shore,
Morocco and Egypt.

Paris April 5-The Foreign Minister, NJ. Del
casse, had long conference to-day with NJ
Paul Cambon. French Ambassador at London
relative to the Anglo French colonial treaty.
settling several long pending issues principally
in regard to Morocco. Egypt and Newfoundland
VI. Cambon Will return to London tomorrow
and 1t is the expectation that the treaty VIII
be signed toward the end Of the present week.
The main points settled but there are some
details capable of causing delay.
The Newfoundland government does not wish
the French fishermen to retain the right Of
catching their own bait offshore. This is, how
ever, considered NOT likely to affect the general
agreement. France surrenders her sovereignty
over the Newfoundland shore and receives
twofod indemnity; first. for French individuals
giving up property along the surrendered shore
and, second, for the French governments relln-
quishme-t CT its sovereignty. The reports cur
rent setting forth the amount of the Indemnity
are inaccurate. as it is the present intention to
submit the amount OF the indemnity to The
Hague tribunal
Morocco viii figure in the treaty, ard, accord
ing to the French view. will be the most impor
tant subject. Spanish objections at first seemed
to threaten this portion OF the treaty. but it Is
now decided that Anglo-French interests in
Morocco are entirely distinct from Franco-Span-
ish interests. Spain's interests are political
Those Of Great Britain are commercial. Spain
seeks the partition Of Morocco SO that she may
control portion of the country. France opposes
the PARTITION believing that the future Of the
country depends upon its unity. Great Britain
has no territorial ambitions In Morocco, and
therefore the treaty Will safeguard her com
mercaI rights and insure no fertilization OF
the coast opposite Gibraltar. France and Spain
will later adjust the political future Of Morocco
hut the indications are that the present treaty
will strengthen the French POSITION that her
power in North Africa eventually Will stretch
westward TO the Atlantic.
The Egyptian agreement does not affect Great
Britain's prOteCtorats over Egypt, being con-
fined TO the administration of the Egyptian
debt, Great Britain having 4 larger latitude in
dsposing the surplus without the concurrence
Of France. France gets improved facilities In
reaching Lake Tchad and other points In French
Central Africa. This concession IS a partial re-
turn for the surrender Of her sovereignty over
the Newfoundland shore.
The question over the New -Hebrides viii not
be included IN the agreement. owing 10 the diff
cUltes OF adjusting Il through tre Insular and
colonial authorities.
