LONDON, 89th January.
Mr. A. J. Fraser states: It is reported that the French view in regard to territorial acquisitions is that France should have the Cameroone and Togoland, and should have perfect liberty of action in Morocco, after purchasing Spanish interests there for 1000 million francs. The French agree that Australia should have New Guinea, and that Belgium should have Tabora and the western region Victoria Nyanza, and part of the western zone on the left bank of the Congo, making certain compensations to Portugal. up to the present the Great Powers have only sent two representatives to each of the various commissions, instead of the five agreed upon laßt Saturday.
