VIOLATED INSTRUCTIONS.
French Gunboats Had No Orders
to Go to Bangkok.

BANGKOK, July 14.-Twenty Siamese
were killed and fourteen wounded yes
terday during the exchange of fire be-
tween the forts at the mouth
of the Meinam river and the French
gunboats COmte and Inconstante,
which forces the passage of the bar in
the face of orders from the Siamese gov
eminent prohibiting their entry into
the river. The French minister has in
formed the Siamese government that
the commanders of the gunboats Comete
and Inconstante misunderstood the sit
uation when they fired upon the Paknam
forts and assembled the Meham river.
Their Instructions contemplated no
such action. The anxiety which pre-
vailed throughout the city yesterday
and last night h as been partially allayed
by the arrival of another British gun
boat. The announcement was made
this afternoon that an armistice has
been concluded and the incident might
possibly be explained by France as re-
grettable.

ing that England and other nations
were sending war vessels to Bangkok,
notified the Siamese government, on
July, s of her intention to increase
the French naval force at the
mouth of the Menan river.
where only the gun boat Lutin afforded
protection to the French residents. In
accordance with article Is of the treaty
of 1856 French men-of-war have the
right to enter the Menam river and
anchor off Paknam, but must give the
SiameSe government notice to arrange
for the anchorage in case of intention to
ascend the river to Bangkok. As none
but British vessels entered the
Menam river, Siam, having objected to
the presence of more than one foreign
vessel, France, while reserving her
formal treaty rights, instructed Rear
Admiral Human not to cross the bar
of the Beham river, and notified the
Siamese government accordingly. The
order was received too late by Human,
and the gunboats- assembled to Bang

NO MORE MONARCHY.
A Preacher From Honolulu Justi-
fies the Revolution.

New WESTMINSTER. B. c., July 13.-
The Columbian published last evening
an interview with Rev. Fl. w. Peck, of
Honolulu, who is in the city en- route to
Toronto. Mr.. Peck has been a resident
of Honolulu for five years, and has
been connected with the educational
department of the kindgdom. Regard
ing affairs in Hawaii, Mr.. Peck said:
II am Canadian, and not an Ameri-
can, and look at the revolution from
perfectly independent view. | am
In strong sympathy with the move
ment which overthrow the monarchy.
1t was not an American nor planters
movement which precipitated the
revolution. but general movement of
whites, irrespective of nationality, whose
business interests were jeOpardiZed by
the government. whose tendency was
retrogreSsive. l have had the whole
particulars of the trouble. but there was
one part concealed from the govern
ment of the United States. Had the
marines not been landed from the war
ship Boston, the revolution would not
have taken place when it did,
but it was bound to have come
later. believe the revolution was
justified in the best interests of all
parties Tor the advancement OF clVIllZa-
ton and moral welfare of the natives.
The whites control seven-eighthS of the
property OH the islands and contribute
at least that proportion of revenue.
They were confident the queens new
constitution meant to deprive them
of the management of affairs of
the islands and place it largely
i'll the hands of the natives.
We appealed to the United States for
annexation because 90 per cent of the
trade of the islands goes there. If the
United States will not annex Hawaii,
we will probably appeal to England or
some other foreign power. There can
be no going back, no retrogression, no
monarchy. Hawaii is the key to the
Pacific, and if the United States does
not want it, other powers will not be
backward IN protiting by so grand an
opportunity"

The Fire INQUEST,

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE formal testi-
mony in the inquest of the fire at the
worlds fair was begun today at the
Hyde Park police station at 1920

ton to the identity of the bodies was
brought about today when Cor
oner McHale learned from the post
master at Marquette, Mich, that Rob-
ert Blenheuber, who was supposed to
have been lost in the ruins, was alive.
This now leaves one body to whose
identity there Is not the slightest trace,
and for whom no one has yet inquired.
Today's session of the inquest was de-
voted to hearing testimony showing the
life and history and establishing the
identity of the men into the cause of
whose death the coroner was inquiring.
Among those present during the pro-
ceedings were: President Mcdonald,
of the Warehouse company; f. p. Burn
