SPANISH WAR ZONE
PROTECTION OF BRITISH SHIPPING WARSHIPS TO ESCORT MERCHANTMEN Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 9. (Received April 10, at 11 a.ra.) The military governor of Majorca, after a visit from the commander of the Shropshire, admitted that there was a great possibility that insurgent planes bombed the Gallant. He expressed the sincerest regret and deepest apologies. Although so far unconfirmed in London, it is reported from St. Jean de Luz that the British Admiralty has instructed warships to ensure British merchantmen free navigation in Spanish waters, involving escorts to all Spanish ports. The French and German Governments have issued regulations controlling ships going to Spain, including the carrying of observers and using special ports in order to comply with the non-interven-tion arrangements. The date of introduction is being specified later.
