FRANCE IS UNDIsTURBED.
Spanish Agitation Causes No Alarm
 in Paris.

Paris April 1.-The agitation in Spain over Frances acquiring g firm hold on Morocco under the Anglo-French colonial treaty does not cause irritation will sub side without straining the relations be- tween the two countries.
 An official said today that Spain, after 8 lengthy possession of number of mill tary posts in northern Morocco had been unable to extend Spanish authority or develop their country. She continued to hold the post only through constant mill tary activity. One of the chief causes of this was the hostility of the Moors, growing out of their expulsion from Spain. Moreover. the Moors were aware that the religious zeal of Spain would lead to an attempt to compel Morocco to give up Mohammedanism in case of Spanish authority being paramount, but 1t Is the intention of Branch to introduce a religious element Into her plan for the development of Morocco. Therefore there is no reason to believe that Morocco will assent to French supremacy.
