AZ IS speed. To occupy time In dining is counted the
worst possible waste. The dinners at higher prices
are for people who have more time to spend have

WASHINGTON, July "a The navy de-
pnrtment contemplates the direction of no
unusual or immediate movements OF vessels
in view of the condition Of affairs in Siam.
Commodore Ramsay, acting secretary of
the navy, said yesterday that the apparent
" grave situation in the Asiatic station was
fully appreciated so far as 1t related to
France and Siam, but that for
the present at least there was no necessity
for hurrying American vessels to Bangkok.
This country has little CONNER cial or politi
cal intercourse with Siam, and for this
reason neither the lives nor property of its
citizens are in jeopardy. There are about
20 American missionaries in Siam, but as
far as known they are engaged in no bust
ness enterprises, and will not therefore be-
come mixed up in controversies which may
arise. Even in tho event of open hostilitss
the missionaries will, it is thought, be I'M

sentod at Bankok by Minister Resident
whose authority will be sufficient to
guarantee proper protection to all citizens
who may appeal to him for aid and com
