NO STEPS TAKEN YET. Rumored Alliance Between Spain and Great Britain is Doubtful.

London. Sept 6.-Despite various reports to the contrary it may be ac- cepted as certain that no steps have been taken towards the negotiation of a formal alliance between Great Britain and Spain and it is very doubtful that anything of the kind Is fin contemplation.
 The relations between the two countries are very cordial and the newly created kinship between their royal houses adds another close and intimate bond to their cordiallty. It Is very probable that King Alfonso will now look to London with greater frequency for his higher political ss- pirations and that under his leader. ship the Spanish government VIII De brought into closer working relations with the British government Bnt nothing in the pature of a written d. liance is looked tor with Europe at peace. Spain co-operafed with Ffance and Great Britain at Algeciras and under most circumstances will prob ably be found similarly aligned 10 the future.
 There is no reason to believe Shat France would view the close approach of Spain and Great Britain other than with approval or that France would object to making the partnershlp . triangular one

army. 1 have also heard it stated that
they were regularly exchanged before

and were placed in camp at some point
In Mississippi.
