MOROCCAN AFFAIRS.

MR. LLOYD-GEORGE’S SPEECH. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received Nov. 14, 8.5 a.m.) VIENNA, Nov. 13. The Berlin correspondent of the newspaper Zeit reports that Britain unavailingly sought precise information ■with regard to the object of the visit of the gunboat Panther to Agadir. Hence Mr. Lloyd-George was commissioned to make a speech which produced a German reply within twenty-four hours. A JOURNALISTS’ SCHEME. BERLIN, Nov. 13. Herr von Kidcrlin-Waohter, in the Reichstag, denied that the Foreign Office informed the press that Germany intended to acquire territory in Morocco, but admitted that fifty journalists met and decided upon the annexation of Morocco. The Government, however, advised caution, and did not carry out the scheme alone.
