Friendship.
LONDON, June GA dispatch from Cal
cutta states that war is threatening in
Asia between the French and Siamese
The Annamites, who are tributary to
France, have already come TO blows with
Siamese troops on the banks Of the Me
kong. and the Siamese are engaged in
ravaging the territory claimed by the
French to be within their Jurisdiction
Nothing has been heard of NJ. Pavie, a
French officer, who, with a party Of as
sistants, was engaged in adjusting the
boundary line, and strong apprehension is
felt that he may have fallen victim to
Siamese hostility. Should ehis be the case
direct hostilities between France and
Siam are more than probable. especially as
the Siamese feel but little disposed, to
make any concession. German and Eng
lish influences are powerful in Siam, and
the Germans have valuable contracts that
would be disastrously affected by war
The king of Siam, however, is believed to
be desirous OF peace, and has ordered his
troops on the frontier to abstain for the
present from any aggressive course.
Turkey InsoIent.

that the porte refuses to belHtimidated by

peremptory demand for redress on behalf
of the Catholics, whose protector France
claims to be. The porte, hewever, ignores
the French interference and is going
about the investigation in a deliberate
way.
The Dutch to Welcome the Kaiser.
Great preparations are being made at
Amsterdam for the reception of Kaiser
William, who will visit that city on his

to show their friendship for Germany in a
