THE ANGLO-SPANISH AGREEMENT.
London, June 18. French and Knglish newspapers unanimously acclaim the Spanish agreements. Le Matin declares that now it is almost impossible for Germany to make war at sea. The Times says : —“Our reasons for entering into the arrangement with Spain are manifest. The routes to India and the Far Fast, in peace or war, pass the coasts and harbours of waters included in the agreements for hundreds of miles. It is of the highest moment to us that these coasts and harbours should remain safe and undisputed in the friendly hands now holding them. We could not, in our own interests, suffer the possessors to be molested. Whether-we enter into formal agreements or not we must proclaim this our inevitable policy. ’ ’ Reuter learns that, before the text of the Anglo-Spanish Note was published, it was thought more courteous to communicate with other powers the terms of the agreement, to enable them to see that its sole aim was to consolidate the status quo of the Mediterranean, which has always been the common object of the policj - of all the great Powers having interest in the Mediterranean.
