§ Lord R. CECILHis Majesty's Ambassador at Madrid, who is of course aware of the rumours which have been in circulation, reported on 28th July that the matter was receiving the close attention of the British Vice-Consul at Santander, with whom His Excellency was keeping in constant touch, but that at that date it had not been possible to substantiate the allegations that had been made.
