DELAY GIVES CHANCE FOR INTRIGUE
Answer 20 Premier Rouvier Has Not
Been Considered by Emperor's
Government, which Does
Not Desire Trouble.

BERLIN, June 23.-The French note on
the subject of the proposed Moroccan con-
ference was handed to the Foreign Office
this morning. Owing to its great length
it had to be sent by mail to Berlin in
stead of by telegraph.
The Foreign Office, while declining to
discuss the points OF the note in detail,
admits that it leaves the situation where
1t was before The points Of disagreement
between Germany and France have not
been removed. 1t is expected that the ne
gotations will continue long time before
a positive decision is reached.
Germanys answer to Premier Rouvier
has not yet been considered. 1t win re-
auire considerable time in order to meet
ali the points raised. While the delay
might, under ordinary circumstances, be
Of advantage in affording time for the
conference TO decide, the German circles
note with some concern that powerful in
trigues going on, having for their OBJ
ject war between Germany and France.
Germany's intentions remain thoroughly
pacific but government circles here appre-
bend the possibility that these intrigues
will result in infaming the French people
against Germany and creating a delicate
and complicated situation.
Newspapers Disappointed.
The evening newspapers frankly express
their disappointment at the French note.
Much has been staked upon Premier Rou-
vier's ostensible wish to come to an under
standing with Germany, but the Vossiche
Zetung, discussing the note. says that
Rouvier is continuing Nj. Delcasse's policy
without NJ. Delcasse.
The newspapers all emphasize the fact
! that the French note leaves the differences
! where they were before regarding their
| bearings upon the projected Moroccan con-
| ference 1t is remarked that NJ. Rouvier
| has just succeeded in leaving room for sn
! acceptance of the conference if this be-
| comes absolutely necessary, but as the
| Post remarks, the French premier takes
stand that looks strikingly like a polite
but a shamed refusal, and the Vossiche
Zeitung agrees with the Post in saying that
his answer comes nearer a refusal than
| an acceptance of the conference.
The National Zetung, in an evidently
| inspired statement, calls attention TO the
| warlike aspect which the British press
attempts TO give to the situation, whereas
EGermany does not believe that the present
complications are such as to JUSTIFY
! thoughts of war This newspaper fore
! shadows Gernany's rejection of NJ. Rou-
vier's suggestion that France and Germany
reach a separate agreement on certain
points before submitting the Moroccan
question to a conference, asserting that
Germany maintains its opposition TO any
| separate arrangement.
While the newspapers plainly show dis
appointment they all maintain calm tone.
There is no threatening and nothing is said
which is calculated TO wound French sensi-
bilities.
Unensiness in France.
PARIS June % An official communica-
ton, issued after the meeting of the Coun-
Gil of Ministers today, says Premier Rou-
vier acquainted hls colleagues with the
status Of the negotiations with Germany
They follow the normal course with change
since the delivery of the note of Prince
Radolin, the German ambassador. The
note was simultaneously communicated &c
the French ambassador abroad for the pur'
pose of informing the powers.
Uneasiness continues to prevail in parha'
3 mentary circles and among the public gen
E orally concerning the outcome of the nego
tiations. The BouIse showed renewed de
{ preston, rentes continuing to decline.

I official communication issued after th'

a panicky sentiment on the Bourse. wher
