THE KING DESIRES PEACE.
BANGKOK, July 26.-The French Min
lister, prior to his departure, had a final
interview with Devawongsee, the Siamese
Foreign Minister, who said his Govern
ment was astonished that France con-
sldered its reply as a refusal to comply
with the ultimatum. 1t was impossible,
he said, to accept definitely the indefinite
proposal. France never defined her
rights in Anam and Cambodia, but the
King, earnestly desiring peace and
speedy settlement of the whole case,
had declared his readiness to abandon
Anam and Cambodia, and all posts at
tached, as well as the territory near them,
including Stungtreng and Khong, al
though these places were admitted to be
Siamese.
BLACK FLAGS WILL NOT JOIN THE
SIAMESE.
PARIS, July 26.-The Chinese Charge
dAtfaires had long interview with NJ.

Flags would join the Siamese in the

ment, are seizing the cheap maps of Siam
offered for sale on the boulevards, rep
resenting the Siamese frontier in accord
ance with English ideas.
HALFWAY MEASURES.
PARIS, July 26.-There is some irrita-
ton in France at the halfway measures
taken against Siam. The Government
lets it be understood that it has taken CO.
ercive, not warlike, action, and the
Siamese can stand action of this kind for
an indefinite time. 1t is the foreign trade
that will suffer, and the proposed block
ade is, in fact, only hostile to England.
PRESIDENT CARNoTs POSITION.
PARIS, July 25.-President Carnot's
absence from the Capital at such a critical
moment has revived the rumors of his
serious illness. The situation is one Of

can justify the policy which NJ DeviIle
has adopted. Should he fail the country.

colonial failures. will visit him and his
Cabinet with the heaviest penalties. 1t
was not expected that Siam would resist,
and the Cabinet now hestates to incur
the odium of bloodshed.
According to international law the neu-
tral Powers are not bound to recognize a
blockade, except between belligerents,
and the French Constitution provides
that war cannot be declared without the
consent of Parliament.

investigate matters they invariably have
been given the cold shoulder. This state
