Text of Spanish Note.

The text of the reply follows:
His majestys government has atten-
lively examined the note which your
serene highness was good enough to
remit to me the 3ist of January, in
which is set forth the German govern
ments reso1ute intention to interrupt,
as from the following day. all sea traf-
fic without further notice, and by no
matter what arm, around Great Brit
ain. France. Italy and in the eastern
Mediterranean. / must say that the
note caused a very painful impression
on the Spanish government.
THE attitude of strict neutrality,
which Spain adopted from the begin
ming, and has maintained with loyalty
and unshakable firmness. gives her the
right to expect that the lives of her
subjects engaged in sea trade should
not be placed in such grave peril. 1t
also gives her the right to expect that
that trade should not be troubled nor
diminished by such an increase in the
extent of the zones. in which the i'm
perial government insists that, in order
to attain it's ends, it must use all weap-
ons and suppress all limitations which
1t has hitherto imposed upon its meth
DDS of naval warfare.
