The news OF the failure OF The French mission TO
Morocco casts a cloud upon what was expected to
be the most significant feature Of King Alfonso's
visit The Sutans action, taken before the arrival
Of the British and Spanish missions at Fee, IS in
terpreted affront to the entire Anglo-French-
Spanish policy The united action OF the three pow
srs chiefly concerned in Morocco would have re-
reived conspicuous recognition in the visit of King
Alfonso to Paris and the coming series OF naval re-
views at Cherbourg. in which the squadrons OF the
three powers will take part.
These international amenities evidently
planned TO impress the Sultan at tho decisive
mont Of the arrival OF the British and Spanish
envoys at Fez German diplomacy has the credit
Of foreseeins the effect and of inducing the Sultan
TO take precpitatc action thus defeat the Anglo
French-Spanish programme NJ Delcasse's next
is yet disclosed, but 1t IS believed that
he will not accept the proposition to hold in
ternational conference, which is considered to be
covert plan for terminating the predominant posi-
zion Of France in Morocco.
The Temps" which usually supports the gov
ernment came out this evening with leading
article declaring that the policy OF pacific penetra-
lion in Morocco is discredited only because it has
been badly conducted by weak, vacilating man
agelnent," adding:
We have reached blind alley and find our
selve- Netween two walls constructed by
Morocc. and the other by Germany. 1t is neces-
sary tear down these walls to what is be-
hind them This is the sole means Of repairing
the errors which time viii bring to end.
Prices on the Bourse to-day were heavy, owing
TO the rejection by the Sultan OF Morocco of the
French reform propositions. A rurnor OF another
