THE FRENCH IN SIAM.
A VIGOROUS POLICY TO BE PUR-
SUED BY FRANCE.
Foreign Minister De Velle Outlines the
Governments Inteutions-The 81
amese Must Make Full
Reparation.

PARIS, July 18.-Dreyfus questioned
the government in the chamber of dep
uties about the French operations in
Siam. De Velle, minister of foreign
affairs, said thu government had no in
tention to interfere with the Siamese
independence, but would insist that
Siam respect the treaties. The inter-
ference of a third power would not be
tolerated.. If Siam did not make COM

quirin, a French inspector of native
militia, by a Siamese mandarin, and
other acts, France would lombard the
Mekong river. If necessary, Bangkok
would be bombarded after sufficient
warning to allow the foreign ministers
tive countries. The chamber unani-
mously voted confidence in the govern
ment.
M. De Velle spoke at some length con-
cerning Great Britain's part in the diff
Guilty. He said he must answer the &C.
cusation that he acted humbly towards
England. Now the fact is that both
Earl Rosebery, the British foreign secre-
tary, and the Marquis OF Dufferin, the
ambassador in Paris, had given positive
assurances that England would not in
terfere in Siam. The remarks made py
Sir Edward Gray, parliamentary secre-
tary of the British foreign office, as
to sending British war ship to Siamese
waters were regarded by the ministry
as quite irreconcilable with the prom
ises mentioned. The French charge
d'affaires in London had visited Earl
Rosebery, therefore, to express the in
tense surprise felt by the French govern
ment in view of Sir Edward Grey's
declarations. Earl Rosebery had replied
that Sir Edward had been misinterpreted
as to the mission of the British gun
boats. It would be merely to protect
British subjects in Siam, and not to back
Siam in her quarrel with France.
LIE Soir says M. Velle has telegraphed
M. Bavie. French minister resident at
Bangkok, the terms of an ultimatum to
be presented forthwith to the Siamese
government. Twenty-four hours are
allowed for reply to frances demands.
A dispatch from Bangkok says the
Siamese government admits that French
citizens whose injuries and losses have
been subject to negotiations and pro.
tests are entitled to indemnity, and has
offered to make deposit pending pro-
ceedings, to determine the amount of
damages. Every attempt to get def
mite statement of claims, however, ia
said to have failed.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 1S.-The story
about the United States ship Mohican
being fred into and disabled by the
steam Healer Alexandria is now believed
to be hoax. The story was told by G.
T. Barrett of Kiok island, who cams
down on the City of Topeka, but the
officers of the boat know nothing of the
occurrence. Judge Faucett of tn,
United States court of Alaska, and E,
B. Hatch, ex-collector of customs, who
arrived on the Queen, which left two
days after the Topeka, say
they had not heard of any such
affair, and mail boat from the north
had arrived in Sitka several days before
they left. No other passengers, except
Barrett, on either steamer and none oI
the officers OF either knew anything to
corroborate the story.

VALLEJO, July 1S.-An Associated

end awaiting final orders to proceed ia
Sitka. On juno 25th the Mohican, &c
far as dispatched from Captain Ludlow
inform US, was at Sitka awaiting further
orders from the department, which wert
transmitted to Captain Ludlow at Sitka
The story of 81 shot from the Alex
andria's smooth bore penetrating
the side OF the Mohican and
disabling her engines is absurd. Td
disable the Mohican's engines it would
be necessary for the shot to pass
through IL inches Of solid timber, and
then through the coal bunkers into tbs
engine room. There might have been
an exchange of shots between the two
ships, but it seems impossible on the
dates mentioned.
Taking it for granted that shots were
exchanged. it is seemingly impossible
for the Mohican's gunners to have
wasted their ammunition and not hit
the Alexandria. While it ia true the
Mohican's magazines were flooded
on the voyage from Honolulu,
to Port Townsend. the ships ammuni
ton, outside OF a few canisters and some
powder, was not damaged, as all the
ammunition on the ship will prevent
moisture from entering and rendering
the charges useless. When the Mohican
left Port Townsend her magazines were
filled, and the ship was ready for any
emergency which she might encounter"

KANSAS BANK FAILURES.
Several Large and Many Small Instftu-

TOPEKA, Kan, July Estate Bank
Examiner Breidenthal this morning re-
ceived notice of the failure of the Citi-
zens' bank of Kansas City, Kansas; the
Bank OF Richmond and the Farmers and
Merchants bank of Ossawottamie. The
concerns are all small. Other similar
failures throughout the state are ex-
pected.
ARMoURDALE, Kan, July Is. - The
Citizens bank suspended payment to-
day with assets $15l, 800 and liabilities
of $126, 800. Among the heavy creditors
is the county of Wyandotts, which had
on deposit $40 900 of itsfunds.
FoRT ScoTT, Kan, July 1S.-The First
National bank, the Oldest financial in
stitution in this part OF the state, has
failed. A notice on the door says the
failure is owing to the steady with
drawal of deposits and inability to col
lect assets; that the closing of the doors

No Stock Taken In the News from

WASHINGTON, July 1S.--The navy de.
partment officials do mot credit the report
that the United States steamer Mohican
was fred on and disabled by poachins
sealer in Alaskan waters, on June 25th.
One reason for this is the receipt of
telegram this morning from Captain
Hooper OF the revenue cutter Rush,
dated the 18th, saying by command ol
Commander Ludlow of the Mohican he
had seized the sealers st. Paul and
Alexander, but making no mention o
the disabling of the Mohican. 1t is not
believed he would have omitted to men
tion go important an event.
Additional details Of the firing on the
Mohiclan have not yet convinced the
navy department officials that the story
is correct. The utmost the department
will admit as reasonably probable is
that if the Alexandria did escape from
the Mohican, it was solely on account
of superior speed, and not owing to this
disablement of the Mohican's machin.
cry by shot: indeed, it is said that
owing to the location of the machinery
we'll below the water line, it would
scarcely be possible for go small a shot
to reach it.
There is good deal of speculation al
the navy department as to what fate
may be in store for the Alexandria if the
story is true. Some officers high in
rank thought she might be classed as a
pirate and treated accordingly, but
cooler heads held that as her original
offense was not one recognized by inter-
national law and che was under
Hawaiian registry. ahe could not be-
taken upon the high seas. II she ap.
