BRITISH WARNING TO SHIPS WITHDRAWN

London, To-day.

The First Lord of the Admir- alty, Mr. Duff Cooper, replying to a Commons question, said that during last week information was received by the local authorities on the north coast of Spain that a close blockade of Santander was contemplated:

As the institution of such a block- ade might have involved serious dangers to British shipping attempt- ing to enter or leave, it was con- sidered advisable to warn thêm not to enter the port until the situation [became clear.

Yesterday it became evident that the Spanish insurgents were not in- tending, for the time being, to block- ade Santander and the advice to British ships was accordingly alter- [ed.
