The ill-feeling between the Spaniards and the French in Morocco

reached a very disagreeable stage last Saturday, when some Spanish soldiers insulted and disarmed M. Boisset, the French Consular Agent at .Alcazar. He was taken before a Spanish officer, who said a mistake had been made in arresting him, but offered no apology. It could hardly be supposed that the Spanish Government would fail to make amends for this silly and bungling offence. The excitement, which reached an unnecessary pitch, was ended on Wednesday, when the Spanish Government declared its regret and gave instructions for formal reparation to be made to M. Boisset in Morocco.
