Will Not Help Spain.

Mr. Ilanotaux, the French minister of foreign affairs, denied the report that, in the event of war between Spain and the United States, France would aid Spain. He said: "The French Government has not contemplated the probability of war between Spain and the United States. The statement that France wjll take the field against America is absurd. I prefer to think that the memories of Colunjbgs, Washington and Lafayette are suffleient-

ly entwined to make the three nations settle any differences upon an intellectual basis.”
