§ DR. TANNERI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, whether he has any knowledge of the identity of the English Military Officers who are reported from Madrid as having volunteered their services to Spain in the event of possible hostilities between Spain and the United States of America; and, whether steps will be taken to prevent English Officers, Naval or Military, declaring or acting under similar circumstances against a friendly Power?
§ MR. BRODRICKNo such report has reached the War Office. Service under a foreign Government against a 754 friendly Power would bring a British subject under the penalties laid down in the Foreign Enlistment Act.
