The trouble between France and Siam
is due to the establishment of a French
protectorate in AMMAN. France, having
been intrusted with the protectorate was
bound to expel the Siamese soldiers es-
tablished in districts belonging to An
nam and lying on the left or eastern
bank of the Me Kong. This great Indo-
China river was considered practically,
at least in it's lower course, as the from
tier between AMMAN and Siam. The ST.
amese forces evacuated at first without
lighting the towns of Strang Teng and
Khong, but soon returned there and killed
the Franco-Annamites and Cambodians
left to garrison the advanced posts. An
other expedition was necessary on the
part of the French to expel the obstinate
Siamese invaders, and the question
seemed to be settled. But Siamese
mandarin, who was being escorted with
his surrendered soldiers to the frontier.
taking advantage of the sudden illness of
M. Grosgurin, commandant of the es-
corting Franco-Annamese troop, killed
the commandant, while his men massa-
cred twenty. of M. Grosgurins soldi ers.
The French governor-general of Cochin,
M. de Lanessan, declared the Siamese
court responsible for that outrage, and
French naval vessels were ordered to
proceed to Bangkok, in order to support
the claims of France for reparation.
The gunboat Lutin soon appeared at
the entrance of the Menam river fifteen
miles up which stream is Bangkok.
kead-Admiral Human, then in the
China sea, was ordered to concentrate
his squadron off the mouth of the
Menam. He commands the cruiser
Triomphante, the Inconstant and the
gunboat Comete, the three carrying a
total of thirty-six guns, and having a
force of thirty-five officers and 552 men.
The French have occupied the Samit
Island, which commands the whole Gulf
OF Siam. 1t is like that King Phra- Maha-
Khoula-L Lonkorn, at Bangkok, unless he
should feel sure of some British or
Chinese support will not delay to apollo
gize for the wanton and treacherous
murder of the French commandant. M.
Grosgurin, and his soldiers.

WHICH VAN HORNE is 1T?
Reported Indictment of a Railroad Man
of that Name.

CAIcAco, July IA Tribune special
from Tacoma says: The United States
grand jury last night found indictments
against President Van Horne of the Ca
madam Pacific railroad and several of
the lodal agents of the company, charg-
ing them with violation of the interstate
commerce law in the sale of tickets.
Local Ticket Agent Thompson and his
assistants were Immediately arrested
and arraigned at 8 o'clock before Judge
Hanford of the United States District
Court, who admitted them to bail in
$500 each. Every effort was made to
keep the indictments secret, in order
that President Van Horne could be ar
rested at Boston on a warrant now issued
cutting. 1t sold frst-class limited
ticket, Tacoma to Boston, for $65, when
the rate was $7S.70.
Van Horne Not in Boston.

Van Horne, of the Canadian Pacific, re-
ported as indicted by the grand jury at

commerce law, is not ia Boston as stated
in the despatch received from Tacoma
this morning. There is an Isaac Van
Horn, railroad man, the general mana
ger of the Wyoming & Utah, who has
been staying at a Boston hotel for several
months, and that may possibly account
for the report that the president of the
Canadian Pacific was registered in Bos-
ton.
AT the office of the Canadian Pacific.
in the Sears building, reporter was in
formed that nothing was known there of
any secret rate cutting.
