DUTIES OF CONTROL
WARSHIPS IN SPAIN GERMAN ADMIRAL’S WARNING Government Plane Flights Resented Press Association —Copyright. (Received 10.40 a.m.) Valencia, May 30. The German Admiral Von Feschel, commanding in 'the Mediterranean, wirelessed the Spanish Government asking for the cessation of aeroplane flights as if intending an attack on German warships, which are acting in compliance with duties of control, and issuing a warning that in the event of a recurrence corresponding counter measures shall be taken. Senor Prieto, Minister of Defence, replied, denying that the ’planes had made aggressive flights, and adding that warships occupied in control duties were perfectly safe if at the distance fixed by the Non-interven-tion Committee. But this guarantee could not be offered' if ships anchored imprudently or without justification in zones and ports which were notorious centres of rebel activitity, against which the Spanish Government would not restrain action.
