London, Jan. 29.
Mr. R. C. Shrine-Stevenson, British Minister to. Republican Spain, is leaving shortly for Port Vendres, small French city near the Spanish frontier, where he will establish his Legation.
Sir Robert Hodgson, British Agent at Burgos, is departing for the Nationalist centre at the end of this week. Great importance is attached to Sir Robert's trip because he "is leaving fully-informed upon the British views on pending Spanish prob-toms."
Among questions on which he has been instructed here, it was pointed out, were those of British communications in the Mediterranean, the withdrawal of Italian and German volunteers in Nationalist Spain, and the defence of British economic interests in Spain.—Havas.
