LONDON, August 12 The recent nomination of General Franco as Captain-General of the army and the sen forces gives him quasiroyal prerogatives, says the Hendaye correspondent of the I’aris newspaper Figaro. H is interpreted by Spanish monarchists as an adjournment, sine die, of the Bourbon restoration.

Apart from thd former kings, no other modern Spaniard has been Captain-General on land and sea.
