98. We understand that British military officers are now in Spain observing the military activities of the insurgent forces. We would like to know for our confidential information what arrangements may have been made to permit British officers to act in this manner in territory occupied by the insurgents as we understand that up to the present the British Government has not granted status of belligerency to the insurgents. Please furnish all details available.
