Speeches of Delegates
 Are Conciliatory.
INFORMAL SESSION IS HELD
Repression of Contraband Entering
 Morocco.
It Was Feared This Question woaia Iucrease Frauco-German Ten- sion, But such Happily Is
 Not the Case.

Algeciras, Jan. 1s.---Deiegates to the Moroccan conference held a private session lasting two hours this after noon. The session resulted practically in an agreement on the main lines for the plan for repression of eontraband entering Morocco. It was feared that the question of contraband might lead to Franco German tension as to who would carry out the oppressive meas ures proposed. but this situation hap oily appears to have been averted- The discussion was an informal one for the purpose of permitting the delegates to speak their minds without having theH views officially recorded.
 The discussion proved to be most conci1iatory. the only divergence being q statement made by the Moroccan del eEatca that they could not permit the repression of or the hunting for arms without first referring the matter tc the Sultan.
 Delegates in Accard.
 The delegates were in accord with the need of all powers passing laws renalIzing the introduction of contra band They also tended toward plan under which Morocco would adopt rigid repressive measures in cooperation with tho powers. This was followed by a proposition submitted by spain which was designed to reconcile the dif9icu1ties between France and Ger many.
 committee of five was appointed to study and report on q final project to the session to be held on Saturday. This committee is composed of Signor Malmusi, Italian; Count von Tatten- bach, German; Regnault. French; eldi cl Mokey. Morocco, and Senor cavai- lere Spanish.
 Today's meeting has strengthened the feeling among the delegates that tho results of the conference will be sat- isfactory. The day has been. fruitful fn meetings of various groups Of dele- gates, all with a view to consolidating the different Interests.
 Attitude of England.
 one danger is the conference is cen sidered to lie in the stin attitude or Great Britain. France, 1t seems, is dis posed to discuss with Germany the basis of an agreement, but whether Great Britain will favor such an agreement is not known. However, nearly every one thinks that the longer the preiim- lnaries are kept up the less will be the danger and that they alone VIII aid in harmonizing the various difficulties. Active telegraphing Is going on be- tween the delegates and their respect i've capitals. The French are not trust ing to land lines but send their dis patches by fast torpedo boat 10 All giers. where they are cabled to France. Tho Duke of Almodovar, Spanish Min- ister of Foreign Affairs. who Is Pres ident of the Conference, has telegraph instrument in his private rooms for communication with Madrid. Something of a 1utter was caused among the dipiomatists today by the news that smallpox exists here. Rear Admiral Sigsbee. who learned this fact from the authorities at Gibraltar, as- sued an order forbidding any one De- longing to his squadron to so ashore at Algeciras.
