PRESIDENT LOUBET
HIS RECEPTION IN ALGIERS.
GRATIFICATION AT BRITISH COURTESIES.
PARIS, April 16.
M. Louhet, President of the French Republic, had a great reception in Algiers. The British, Russian, Spanish, and Italian squadrons saluted. The bands on the British warships played the ‘ Marseillaise,’ the French cruiser Jeanne d’Arc responding with ‘God save the King.’ President Louhet decorated the British commanders. Speaking at a banquet in his honor, the President declared that he was very sensible to King Edward’s delicate attention in sending four of the finest specimens of the mighty British Navy to take part in his reception, thereby showing the good feeling and esteem he felt towards France. He added: ” I think King Edward will be satisfied with the reception Paris is preparing for him.*’
