| Paris, July 5.-The French government continues 10 maintain absolute silence | with regard to the proposal for pour parlors resulting from the intervention of Germany in Morocco but it is under stood that France has not modified it's original point of view in any way. The French government considers the presence of a German warship at Aga dir is not justified by the conditions there where tranquility prevails and Ger
 man interests are In no way threatened. | As to the desire of Germany, recently ex- pressed, to enter into pour-parlors. 1t 1 is recalled that the French government
 showed itself favorably disposed to this and gave proof of the fact at the inter view between M Cambon, the French

 adding that Spain should naturally take part in the negotiations.
 | France and England accepted the sug- gestion and 1t is understood that Russia also will participate.
 The Temps understands that in conse- quence of proposals made by Germany

 | Naval Station Matter of Concern | London, July 1.-The rumors that Great
 Britain has ordered any naval movement | on account of Moroccan affairs are uu- | founded It is understood, however, that the British government, although it has not yet made formal reply to Germany,
